Chapter 27

How?......

Why was she.........

Seeing Meredith cry was something I thought I'd never experience but here I was standing at the entrance of the room contemplating if I should go in or not.

"Meredith?"

She sniffed and stood up hastily while cleaning her face with her palm.

"Are you alright?" I asked.

She seemed taken aback by my concern.

I would have said, "I'm not a heartless human" but I kept quiet instead. Meredith was hurting. I wanted……. needed to find out why.

"I'm fine," she said harshly.

"Your face says otherwise. Meredith, what's wrong? I promise you can talk to me"

"I don't feel comfortable talking with my competition," she said with folded arms.

Competition?

Oh. Etienné.

"Well, Etienné and I aren't talking anymore so…."

"Why?" Meredith asked, interested in my statement.

"He's done foolish things that I don't approve of," I said with a shrug.

"You're not interested in him anymore?" She asked.

I rolled my eyes.
