The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell novel Chapter 922

Danielle forced herself to refocus on the meeting with her client.

The meeting concluded, and she saw her client to the door with a professional smile that vanished the moment he was gone.

Sinking back into her chair, she stared at her coffee, which had long gone cold.

Across the room, Alexander and Lorie were still there, seemingly deep in discussion.

Danielle's gaze drifted to them. Lorie occasionally gestured with her hands, her tone animated, while Alexander remained composed, his fingers tapping lightly on the table as he nodded from time to time.

Lorie’s arm was linked through his so naturally, so intimately, that to any onlooker, they looked exactly like a couple on the verge of marriage.

Danielle picked up her phone, unlocking and locking it several times, but she couldn't bring herself to call Alexander.

She didn't know what she would even ask. Should she confront him about Lorie? Ask if the 'fiancé' claim was just some bizarre business tactic?

And what good would it do? If he'd wanted to explain, he would have done so right then and there. Pushing him would only make things more awkward.

As time ticked by, the restaurant filled up, the growing chatter drowning out the gentle melody of the violin.

Finally, Alexander and Lorie stood up to leave, Lorie still holding his arm as they walked toward the exit.

As they passed her table, Lorie offered a smiling nod of acknowledgement. Alexander merely glanced at her, his eyes holding no particular emotion before he looked away.

Danielle's heart sank. If Nash didn't know, it meant one of two things: either Alexander was deliberately hiding it, or Lorie was making it up.

"Alright. Thank you, Secretary Langley."

Hanging up, Danielle stared at her phone screen, her mind a chaotic mess.

She didn't understand why Lorie would say such a thing, or why Alexander wouldn't deny it.

If it was just business, there was no need to use the term 'fiancé' to build rapport. Unless… there was something more going on.

She gathered her things and left the restaurant.
