around to keeping score yet, Easton said, folding his hands like he was about to do just that. “But I can answer the question you asked before.”

“Go ahead.”

“I really never learned how to love someone.”

Ellis wasn’t exactly furious, but she wasn’t far off “Oh, please. You didn’t seem to have any trouble loving Victoria. So what’s this–some kind of amnesia act now?”

“You think I loved Victoria?” Easton’s brows drew together.

“Obviously. Who else would it be, me?” Her voice dripped with sarcasm. “You two were childhood sweethearts. You were engaged for years. I’m honestly curious what it was like between you. How the hell did Victoria put up with you? I’m starting to feel bad for her, having to deal with someone as insufferable as you.”

Even as she said it. Ellis knew people didn’t treat everyone the same. Easton probably wasn’t the same person with Victoria as he was with her.

Who told you I loved Victoria?” Easton thought the whole world calling Victoria his first love was ridiculous enough, but now even Ellis was saying it to his face!

The rapid–fire questions made her scowl deeper. “Who needs to be told?”

Victoria’s status in Easton’s life was no secret–everyone in the Stonebridge elite knew.

Ellis didn’t stop at words. She rolled her eyes and gave him a dismissive wave.

Without a word. Easton hit the lock button. The doors clicked shut. She couldn’t get out.

This needs to be said,” he told her, eyes steady. “It’s about my reputation.”

“You have a reputation?” Ellis burst out laughing. That’s rich.”

“I never loved Victoria! Who fed you that crap?”

“You did. Every time you so much as looked at her.

“I didn’t!”

I don’t want to hear your crap. Open the door.”

She’d seen him lock it. She knew what he was doing–stalling. As if she had time to listen to him run his mouth before work.

As if she cared who he did or didn’t love.

At the end of the day, Victoria was the one he was once engaged to. She’d always been the one with real standing. Ellis had just been… temporary.

Easton ignored her and reached for her hand,

“Don’t buy into the gossip”

She yanked her hand back so hard, it slammed into the side of the car. She winced and instinctively grabbed her wrist.

“Whether I believe it or not has nothing to do with you.” She reached for the door handle again. Tm late. Open this damn. door before I lose it.”

“Fine. Go to work. I’ll explain everything after you get off

Whatever story he had, she wasn’t buying it. She didn’t care anymore.

#Finished

Back when she still loved him, she might’ve been stupid enough to let him lie to her face. But now? She’d been done for a long time. Nothing he said mattered.

When the doors finally unlocked, she got out of the car without a word.

But her silence didn’t mean she wasn’t fuming.

Her thoughts were a steady stream of swearing as she stormed toward the building

That damn man. Why was he always around?

Inside, she checked the time. If not for Easton’s nonsense, she would’ve made it just fine. Now she was officially late.

No emotion showed on her face as she scanned her badge and stepped into the elevator.

Right before the doors closed, someone stepped in.
