Ruined By My Brother's Best Friend (by Silverwriter) novel Chapter 116

My thoughts were confirmed when Alvise walked past us and muttered, “Be sure not to waste my time again.”

I turned to watch him as he walked to his car, got in, and drove away without sparing me a single glance.

“Let’s go inside, Arabella,” Archie gritted, pointing toward the entrance.

I sneezed into my elbow before following him into the building.

We took the elevator to his floor before entering his apartment and the moment Archie shut the door, he lashed out. “I never thought you could be this irresponsible.”

I turned to look at him, finally noticing the dark circles beneath his eyes. He hadn’t slept.

“Please… I’m sorry.”

“You had me imagining the worst. I couldn’t even reach you.”

“You knew I was in his office?” I blurted.

“He told me when I called him while looking for you,” Archie said.

My fingers curled into my palms, and I clasped my hands together as my chest tightened. “What else did he tell you?”

Did Alvise tell Archie everything? Surely he wouldn’t have done that… Right? I wasn’t sure of anything anymore.

Archie folded his arms and leaned against the nearest wall. “That he sent you out of his office.”
