He didn't even speak a single word to her…
She swatted her forehead as she walked along the hallway.
"I've gone and made things worse." She muttered to herself.
As foolish as she had sounded, she had been acting on a whim.
When she glanced ahead of her, she saw Candace coming from another hallway.
Pretending not to have seen her, she continued on.
But…
It was too late.
"Eve."
She gradually slowed down until she came to a halt altogether.
Then she glanced at the woman in question. She was wearing a sky blue evening dressing with frocks on the shoulders and sleeves, her hair done up properly.
"Good evening." Everetta murmured.
Candace drew closer.
"I heard you broke your engagement… and that you planned to leave this morning. Is it because of me?"
Eve fixed her with a stare. "It has nothing to do with you. But, I hope you're glad about it because he is all yours."
Candace blinked. "I never wanted Friedrich… I just said a few bitter things that could be forgiven, Eve."
