Just as Amelia Avery was about to leave, Ian Shaw's cold voice rang out again. "Stay right where you are! I'm calling Cassian Jennings to come pick you up."
"No, don't! I don't want him to come get me," Amelia Avery exclaimed, as if suddenly startled.
"What? Did you do something to feel guilty about? Afraid to go home now?" As Ian Shaw spoke, he glanced toward Leo Joyce.
The meaning behind his gaze was obvious. It was a warning to Amelia Avery: a married woman should stay out of places like this, and she certainly shouldn't be spending time with someone like Leo Joyce.
Besides, everyone in Tridell knew Amelia Avery was the woman Leo Joyce had been not-so-secretly in love with for years.
Even Tiana Grayson's place in Leo Joyce's heart likely couldn't compare to Amelia Avery's.
