CHAPTER 22

EDWINA

Kieran's sisters ushered me into a seat, ignoring the stares everyone was giving us. 

I was so uncomfortable, sitting there with them. 

Glancing at my best friend several tables away, I found Harriet staring at me with a concerned expression.

I smiled at her. I knew she would not hesitate to get me out of here if things looked as though it was about to get out of hand.

"So, Edwina. We heard you're the CEO in charge of the company Kieran is Partnering with," Georgina asked when I had settled down. 

The sudden question startled me, and I shook myself out of the vertigo that had enveloped me since Georgina dragged me here.

"Yes. Yes I am."

The answer seemed to please her, despite the fact that the question she asked was a rhetorical one. 

She nodded. 

I was trying not to look at her, but there was no other place to rest my eyes.
