Surprise Performance

Scratching the back of his head, Charles turned over to look at Cassidy and quickly waved goodbye.

"I'll get going now, Ma'am Cassidy. Have a great day," he said, and she nodded.

With a smile on her face, she watches him walk away. She could see Adrian settle down beside her through the corners of her eyes. He then casually placed his arm around her neck and pulled her close to him.

"I'm guessing your talk with Edward is over, huh...?" she said with some sarcasm before letting out a sigh.

"When are you going to understand that Charlie doesn't see me that way? He just wanted to know how I was doing. I haven't talked to him in a while because I've been so busy. You shouldn't be rude to him. I can't believe you still get jealous of him."

"What...?!" he exclaimed, giving her an incredulous look.
