The Perfect Thief novel Chapter 193

Chapter 0193 Yes , I whispered hoarsely .

Good luck and remember , take a deep breath and dont jump to conclusions .

Let him explain first before you go off .

Update me on everything tomorrow I will , I assured her and then I hung up the phone .noveldrama

I put the phone on the nightstand and plugged it into the charger before turning to look at him .

He still remained at the doorway , studying me with a frown .

Irene said you were unwell , he told me .

You were fine this morning ! I nodded and wiped my checks again , hoping he didnt notice how blotchy my face was and the tears that were still in my eyes .

I hated how weak I was in front of him , but I couldnt help myself .

Yeah , I was just a little under the weather , I lied .

I think I might have eaten something bad .

Was it whatever Chester made you ? He asked through his teeth .

Ill fire him and- No ! I said quickly .

Dont fire him ; he didnt do anything .

It was something I ate at school .

Nothing more .

He looked almost disappointed ; I knew he kind of wanted to fire Chester because he rubbed Gavin the wrong way , but I wasnt going to let him .

I liked Chester ; he was funny , and he made being here less lonely .

Between him and Harper , I felt like I belonged around here .

At least I did until I spotted Skyla and Gavin together .

That sick feeling returned to my belly and stared down at my lap , willing my tears away before they slipped down my cheeks .

How was your date ? I murmured , unable to hide the bitterness in my tone .

It wasnt a date , he said immediately .

It was a casual dinner .

Chanse thought it would be good if I took her to dinner and- his voice trailed off .

Wait , didnt say anything about it in the text .

How did you know ? 1 bit my lip as my cheeks burned with embarrassment had nothing to be embarrassed about though ; I didnt ask Irene to send me a photo of Gavin and Skyla leaving .

She captioned it , My father going on his first real date in years ! Dont they look beautiful together ? I felt sick to my stomach , and I have been crying ever since .

I hated the effect it had on me , but I couldnt help myself .
