Chapter 067

Selene

As the time came to bid goodbye, a knot tightened in my stomach. The ache within me had grown, and the vulnerability of the situation left me feeling raw. I forced a smile, masking the turmoil beneath the surface, as Emma warmly hugged Azriel.

"Thanks for the help today, Azriel. I appreciate it," Emma said, her voice carrying a hint of genuine gratitude. They shared a lingering moment before she turned to me.

"It was nice meeting you, Selene. Hope we can work together smoothly in the future," Emma said, offering a polite smile.

"Likewise," I replied, trying to match her composure. But as Emma hugged Azriel, a tear dropped and I quickly wiped it. Anger coursed through me. I hated this asshole. And this bitch. Were they doing it on purpose, but Azriel didn't agree to hug me? And he hugged her? And why had this girl hugged him and not me?
