A Love Rekindled (Nancy and Bruce) novel Chapter 71

The seniors laughed. "You're already being protective!"

However, someone still brought the topic back to me. "Nancy, listen to us. Douglas is quite sneaky. You should be more wary of him."

It was obvious that they'd misunderstood our relationship.

The circles in Joddesdon and Saza were quite different. Back then, I would have explained to them about my relationship with Douglas. However, I'd learned not to after being in the industry for some years.

So, I didn't say a word when faced with their teasing.

Besides, I wouldn't cross paths with these seniors in the future. And hence, there was no need to explain myself.

If one explained too much, it would only make people suspect even more.

Meanwhile, the party's atmosphere was quite harmonious.

However, I felt someone staring at me for some reason.

But when I tried to look for the gaze, I couldn't find it and wondered if it was just my imagination.

Just then, a buzz coming from my bag interrupted my thoughts.

I backed to a corner and saw that Bruce had sent me a message.

"Come over to the right side of the hall."

It was his style to send such a straightforward message.

I didn't know why Bruce would look for me at such a time. So, I asked him, "Do you need something?"

Bruce's reply was quick. "Yes. Let's talk face-to-face."

Honestly, I wouldn't waste my time entertaining him if he wasn't my investor. But unfortunately, he was our company's investor, and since he'd asked, I could only force myself to go.
