THE LYCAN KING’S SECOND CHANCE MATE novel Chapter 286

TESSA'S POV.

“Oh, fuck me!” Rhea curses the moment she gets into the waiting room and sees me. She turns to the warden escorting her with a big frown on her face. “Is it a must for me to entertain this guest?”

“Yes, it is. Now move along.” The grumpy-looking warden gently pokes her in the back and she moves a step.

“Hello, Rhea.” I greet her calmly, rising to my feet as she approaches the table I'm seated at. Her hands are bound and the orange jumpsuit she's wearing looks great on her, but of course, I can't say that to her because she'll take it as a mockery. She already looks very upset with me, I don't want to worsen matters.

“Sit.” The warden orders and she immediately plops on the chair opposite mine. I do the same, my eyes never leaving her face.

“Hello, Rhea.” I greet her yet again.

“I heard you the first time, Tessa. I'm not going to respond to your shitty greeting.” She fires bitterly and I purse my lips and nod my head.

“Right.”

“Took you long enough to come do this?”

“Do what?” I ask, confused. She leans on her chair and chuckles lightly.

“Now she's feigning innocence.”

“I have no idea what you're talking about.” I tremble in my seat when she suddenly places her hands on the table with a loud bang and leans forward, her eyes trained on my face.

“I know you're here to mock me, so just get on with it.”

“No.” I deny it, shaking my head. “No. Of course not. I'm not here to mock you “ She throws her head back and laughs hysterically, but all I can hear in that laughter is pain and a little bit of regret. I have never felt sorry for her until right now.
