Chapter 17
In a serendipitous turn of events, Victoria Langley found herself drawn into an unexpected encounter at a quaint coffee shop in downtown Seattle. She had just finished a meeting with Maya, a local artist whose friendship had grown over the past few weeks.
As Victoria sipped her coffee, she glanced up and was startled to see Alexander Harrington stepping into the cafe. A rush of emotions flooded her, memories of their previous interactions mingling with the present. She hadn't anticipated this unplanned meeting, and for a moment, she debated whether to approach him or maintain her undercover facade.
Alexander, on the other hand, noticed Victoria at a nearby table. His gaze lingered, recognizing her from their earlier encounter. The air hummed with a strange tension, the echo of past conversations hanging between them.
