Edith whipped out her phone and called Herbert. As she approached, she said, “I've asked Herbert to bring it over for you. Don't sweat it; men are there to be bothered.”
“You should start bothering Gregory more often. You're the only one who can actually get through to him,” Edith added.
When Herbert arrived with the shoes, the party was still in full swing.
Throughout the evening, Herbert was practically glued to Bella, affectionately calling her “big sis” and openly showcasing her close ties with the Taylor family.
This move only made everyone more determined to get on Bella's good side.
After all, Herbert had a reputation for being a tough nut to crack...

By the time Gregory and I got back to Elmwood Villas, it was past ten.
Stepping into the elevator, I pressed for the sixth floor, but he hesitated to choose his, leaving me puzzled. He then pinned me against the elevator wall.
His hands gripped my waist as he pulled me closer, his voice husky. “Has the buzz worn off yet?”
“Not yet…”
I had switched to flats earlier, fearing Bella had overindulged, and ended up drinking a few for her.
The ride back was a bit of a blur, and I still felt lightheaded.
Gregory's lips curved into a sly smile as he lifted me slightly, whispering enticingly, “Then how about another kiss?”
“…There’s a camera, surveillance!”
I turned my face away, wishing I could disappear into a blind spot.
Undeterred, Gregory kissed my forehead, “We’re almost there.”
Comments
The readers' comments on the novel: Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson)
This story is useless now. there is no essence. Jane is a whore, at least Bryant never sleep around. There was a misunderstanding between him and his step sister but he never slept with anyone. Bryant should just find a good woman by his side. Jane and Gregory will have a baby. Jane found her biological mother. So what else to be expect in this story?...
Who is the ML ? Hope its Greg.. but I kinda feel pity for Bryant too now.....
