My Mate Had A Girlfriend novel Chapter 5

I watched Jean saying some things to Beatrix and then pointed to my direction. I was afraid that Valerie would notice but the moment Beatrix's eyes met mine, I lost it. I just looked at her and at the point, I could hear nothing else. I had her all filled in my mind, until she looked away.

Oh I knew she was still upset with me.

"Sounds good. Let's go," I said, pulling Valerie's hand.

"Wait, I'm just gonna speak to the birthday girl for a while." I sighed - I didn't want to upset Beatrix further. I offered to wait in the car.
