The Man Who Waited vs. The Man Who Wasted novel Chapter 235

Jocelyn looked up, and her smile instantly vanished.

Talk about awful luck.

Standing just a short distance away was Adrian.

Because his back was turned to them, he hadn't noticed them yet.

Jocelyn nudged Julian and tipped her chin in Adrian's direction.

Julian turned to look.

"Should we wait for him to leave?"

They were standing right in the main walkway to the exit.

The only way to avoid a confrontation was to let Adrian walk out first.

Jocelyn was about to agree when she saw Adrian turn. He was about to look right in their direction.

But before he could turn completely, someone stepped into his path.

It was a woman.

And a very familiar-looking one at that.

She had a stunning figure, gorgeous features, and carried herself with an undeniable elegance.

It suddenly clicked for Jocelyn.

This was the same woman she had seen that night at The Sovereign Club.

The woman stepped in close to Adrian and murmured something to him.

Adrian gave a slight nod and followed her toward the exit.

But halfway to the door, the woman glanced back over her shoulder and gave Jocelyn a subtle nod.

Jocelyn was completely baffled.

But then it hit her.

The woman was helping her.

She had intentionally distracted Adrian to pull him away so he wouldn't see Jocelyn and Julian together, saving them from a very messy scene.

But why would she help?

They didn't even know each other.

And what was her relationship with Adrian? They looked pretty cozy.

Even after they got in the car, Jocelyn was still lost in thought.

Julian read her like an open book.
