As Lydia’s gaze swept over the room, her smile faltered when her eyes landed on someone unexpected.
Eugene had just reached the reception desk with a group of people, but suddenly stopped, his piercing gaze locking onto hers.
Her heart began to race, and she quickly looked away.
“Miss Lydia, are you okay?” someone beside her asked, noticing the sudden change in her expression.
She forced a weak smile and shook her head. “I’m fine, let’s keep moving.”
But on the way back, she couldn’t shake the unsettling image of Eugene from her mind. It played on a loop, dragging her into a spiral of growing unease.
Lately, Eugene seemed to haunt her like a living nightmare. Why had he shown up today? After everything he had already done to her, what more did he want?
These unanswered questions piled up, fueling an uncontrollable sense of frustration. Without realizing it, Lydia started walking faster, her emotions getting the best of her.
“Miss Lydia, please slow down.” someone called after her, but before she could respond, her ankle twisted, and she stumbled forward.
In that split second, A wave of regret washed over her in that split second. But before she hit the floor, a familiar pair of arms caught her, pulling her into a protective embrace.
She instantly recognized the warmth and safety of Quincy’s hold. His heart pounded against her, racing just as fast as hers. Clearly, the scare hadn’t only rattled her. Quincy had been just as frightened by the close call.
“Lydia, are you alright?” he asked, his voice full of concern.
“I’m fine,” she managed to say, just as she heard footsteps approaching behind her.
Looking up, she wasn’t surprised to see Eugene.
