Maloney reacted with lightning speed, pulling Nora securely into his arms.
He lowered his head, pressing a kiss to her forehead, and murmured, "Did I hurt you?"
These days, Maloney was completely indifferent to his surroundings when it came to showing affection.
There were two people standing right there staring at them.
And he still just wrapped his arms around her and kissed her!
"I'm fine." Nora couldn't bear being this intimate in front of her best friend. She pushed against his chest. "Let go of me."
Maloney released her.
Nora instantly rushed over to Cassidy. "Cassidy, are you okay?"
Cassidy waved it off casually. "I'm fine, I'm fine."
While Nora anxiously checked on her friend, Maloney lowered his gaze, turning his attention to Parker. His voice was dangerously soft. "Parker. I am a married man. I have a wife. Do not link my name with other women again."
Parker still had the nerve to argue. "How does Seraphina count as just 'other women'..."
"And another thing," Maloney interrupted, his tone turning glacial. "Real men don't lay hands on women."
Parker's face flushed an ugly shade of red.
He felt entirely humiliated.
Cassidy had publicly embarrassed him, and as a fellow man, Maloney offered him zero solidarity.
He actually took the women's side.
Cassidy shot Parker a cold look.
Having known him for years, she could read exactly what was running through his mind.
"Just go home," Cassidy ordered.
Parker spun on his heel and stormed off.
He practically peeled out of the parking lot.
Cassidy shook her head, completely done with him. She hadn't even wanted him here; he had forced his way along.
