Chapter 43

Bennett wasn’t surprised to see Megan. He surveyed her from his vantage point, taking in the opulent dress that adomed her figure.

Bolt–she

Megan was mature enough. Thinking of Bennett’s cryptic remarks, his daily visits to Regal Bolt- she wasn’t oblivious, but she played The fool

Bennett was not a man to trifle with

Mrs. Lambert, blissfully unaware, introduced him with a warm smile, “Megan, this is Mr. Lambert’s distant cousin, Bennett. A bit of a fascal since childhood, but he’s always dropping by for a visit.”

Megan responded with a subtle smile, “We’ve met ”

Mrs. Lambert patted her shoulder. “Silly me, I forgot Bennett and Sullivan grew up together! You two catch up; I need to fetch those crystal glasses. The staff here are always misplacing things.”

With that, Mrs. Lambert excused herself.

Stately and refined.

As Megan approached, he didn’t get out of the car but leaned over to open the passenger door for her.

Mrs. Lambert couldn’t help but tease a little.

Sullivan nodded politely and drove off with Megan.

Megan leaned back in the seat, her relaxed demeanor softening her features. Sullivan, unable to resist, took her delicate hand in his, caressing it gently. She withdrew it subtly

“Cool it, Sullivan. There’s no need for that between us.” she said, her tone distant

Sullivan, rebuffed, focused on the road. At a red light, he turned to her and asked softly, “How did things go with Mrs. Lambert? How did Blanca manage to offend her?”
