a date, it seemed
Evangeline let out a cold laugh wrapped her arms around herself, and slouched comfortably into the note “What a question Mr. Walter Gordon. People hit up bars for a good time not for other services, rights
Evangeline’s eyes locked onto Felicia with a look that screamed volumes, and everyone in the room caught the drift in a heartbeat.
“Never would’ve guessed the Foster family’s darling princess was into this sort of thing,” remarked Walter nonchalantly
The tension between them could have sparked a duel, and there stood Felicia, smack in the middle, the
picture of discomfort
She turned to Evangeline, her voice barely above a whisper, “Ms. Evangeline, please, you’ve got it all wrong Mr. Walter Gordon just saw some creep hassling me and stepped in. There’s nothing shady going on, we’re totally honest
Tears brimmed in Felicia’s eyes as she spoke. Walter, however, cut her off before she could finish.
“What are you blabbering about? With a swift move, Walter pulled Felicia into his arms, and she ended up sitting right next to him, “Why bother explaining? Didn’t we agree to meet here for drinks? That’s why you’re here, right?”
Felicia had planned to charm Walter from the get–go, but with all eyes on them, she could not fathom his sudden shift. Still, she blushed and settled next to him like a good girl.
She barely kept her composure under his piercing stare before flashing a knowing smile. “You’re worrying about nothing. Mr. Walter Gordon. My days are packed; I don’t have the luxury of lounging around like you. I’m not here to play the jealous ex. Just here to chill with friends. Who knew I’d bump into you, my former flame? And with a new sweetheart, no less”
Evangeline’s voice took a sharp turn, her eyes curiously scanning Felicia. “I never would’ve guessed your new girl would look a bit like me. Resemblance is a funny thing, isn’t it? Hey, girl, how about a friendly tip from your big sis?”
