Chapter 14 How Embarrassing
1/5
Dalton had come to see Chandler for a signature, but instead of getting what he wanted, he ended up looking foolish.
He couldn’t take it anymore and left, looking defeated.
Dante, nursing his drink, noticed something and smirked. “Chandler, something’s definitely off with you tonight.”
Chandler chuckled lightly. “Oh? What makes you say that?”
Dante raised an eyebrow, clearly knowing more than he let on. “Come on, you know exactly what I mean.”
After Dalton left, Chandler decided he didn’t want to stay any longer. “I’m out of here.”
Dante was curious. “What’s got you leaving so early? What kind. of woman has you this worked up?”

“Wow, look at you, a real romantic,” Dante teased, crossing his

Leaning closer, he whispered, “It’s her, isn’t it? That girl who saved you ten years ago. Meryl?”

Chandler ignored him completely, stepping toward the door.
But he stopped and turned back. “Where’s Anne?”
“She’s at home. What’s up?”
“Tell her to accompany Meryl in the hospital tomorrow. I’ll text you the address later.”
And just like that, Chandler was gone, leaving Dante feeling like
a messenger.
“Seriously? I’m in a fight with Anne. Why would I want to go home? You think I came out in this downpour just to be bored?”
Dante didn’t want to head home, which was why he’d called his friends out to keep himself occupied.
He took another drink, and thoughts of Anne Blanchett made

He was propped up against the headboard, casually observing her with strikingly handsome eyes.
