A Love Rekindled (Nancy and Bruce) novel Chapter 64

I was speaking the truth. But Bruce's frown only deepened.

Just then, the lift door opened, and I feigned a calm demeanor and walked out.

But suddenly, Bruce grabbed my wrist and pulled me backward.

"Say that again, Nancy Fisher," he grunted hoarsely and urgently, giving off an inexplicable sense of grievance.

I took a deep breath and said, "I'm just stating the facts. Am I wrong, Mr. Harold?"

"You…" Bruce began.

"Bruce," Cindy suddenly interrupted.

Bruce paused before immediately letting go of me.

Then, Cindy jogged up to Bruce and affectionately hugged his arm. "I sent you a message. Didn't you see it?"

Bruce hummed, the anger on his face fading, and his expression returning to normal.

It was as if I had imagined the confrontation.

"You seemed engrossed in your chat with Nance. What were you talking about?" The topic suddenly shifted to me.

I met Cindy's doe eyes and muttered calmly, "Nothing much. We were just discussing the use of words."

"Really?" Cindy turned to Bruce. "Are you also interested in this area, Bruce?"

"I finally found you, Nance." Caroline stood at the door, giving me a knowing look.

Grateful, I hurried to her office.

"What's wrong? He didn't seem to be in a good mood today," Caroline said.

She was always good at observations.

Stack was a world-class software engineer whom I had admired since my college days.

And the amazing thing about him was that he didn't need a debugger. Just by scanning the code, he could expose any errors within it.

It would be my greatest honor to meet him.

So, I spent the whole night preparing the technical questions I wanted to discuss with Stack.

…

Somehow, news of the banquet reached Cindy.

The next morning, she texted in the group, "Caroline, I heard that we also received an invitation from Helix Group. Can I tag along tomorrow night?"

She even sent an emoji to highlight her playfulness.

Caroline wasn't a petty person. But it was unfortunate that the invitation clearly stated that each company was only allowed to bring one key person.
