Ding! The elevator doors opened. Rory looked over to Raina, who was standing close by, and said, “You may leave now.”
He continued standing in the elevator after making that statement.
Raina looked at Rory and asked, “Rory, the hotel is surrounded by reporters. I think you should come in and have a seat.”
“No, I’m good. Feel free to go.”
Rory stretched out and hit the open button as the elevator doors were about to shut.
Once again, Raina caught a glimpse of his icy face. She was at a loss for words, and she walked hesitantly out of the elevator.
The elevator doors started to shut as soon as she stepped out.
Raina whirled around to see the doors as they closed behind her. Rory was lost in thought, and he didn’t look over at her once.
The softness on Raina’s face was gone as soon as the elevator doors closed. A hint of resentment flickered over her face.
Rory’s reaction to her return was quite different from what she had anticipated.
Raina returned to her room, clenching her teeth. Babette, seeing that she had opened the door, rushed forward to inquire, “Raina, how are things? Is it true that Rory has feelings for Becky?”
