Chapter 20: Opening His Heart

Gwen turned to look at Finn, astonished.

He didn’t even look at her. His eyes were on the other man in front of her, and he didn’t seem pleased at all. In fact, he looked about to beat the man.

“Finn, that’s not necessary…” she whispered, trying to prevent such a harsh consequence. She didn’t want anyone to be fired because of her.

Finn ignored her completely. The IT guy seemed really surprised, but didn’t say anything. He simply left with his head down. Maybe he should’ve kept his thoughts for himself instead of spitting it all out in her face, she thought.

Gwen couldn’t pretend not to be grateful though. It felt really good to have Finn protecting her like that. For a moment, she almost forgot their history. It was like they were dating again. She liked when he acted like a protective boyfriend.

Finn turned his back to her and walked towards his office, not bothering to talk to her. Gwen squatted down to grab the documents and rushed to reach him.
