Edward Harper's gaze fell on the suit jacket draped over the chair back. He furrowed his brow, picked it up, and tossed it to Liam Johnson before sitting down next to Clara.
"Clara, do you like watching basketball?"
Clara gave a sound of acknowledgment without lifting her head from the phone screen. This kind of clumsy small talk was worse than saying, "You kind of look like my ex-ex-wife."
Edward cast a sarcastic glance at the two men playing intensely in front of them. Neither of them was worth his attention.
"Clara, did you come with Uncle?"
Clara shook her head, still sparing her words.
"No."
When she said no, he felt a bit better. Just as he relaxed a little, he heard her say,
"I came with Director Sutton."
Edward's breath caught. The jealousy bottle overturned completely this time.
