Evans glanced at Jolie and the two Parker brothers before his gaze finally landed on Melissa. She stood motionless, her eyes wide in disbelief after Willy announced the results of their bet.
"We're even," Evans declared, his voice calm and steady.
There was an odd lightness in his chest. He had initially wanted to win but was relieved he hadn't lost either—because if he had, journalists would have stormed into his company, eagerly demanding to know all the details of his embarrassing confesion.
Yes, they were even, which meant that Melissa would not be kissing him, and he would not have to admit he had been dumped for being *not man enough*.
The situation had a ridiculousness that made him chuckle inwardly.
Their bets were so—rediculous
Anyway 😂.
Without another thought, Evans left the table, following behind Melissa as she hurried out through the back door. She stood there, waiting for Jolie and Natalia, clearly lost in thought.
