“Nan…” I whispered. “What is it?”

as she

“I’m so sorry…” she said hoarsely pulled her eyes away from me to look at the ground. “But I can’t stay here…”

“Wait what?” I asked, my brows raising, “Why not? What’s wrong? Please, talk to me…”

She shook her head; she was trying hard to keep the tears from spilling out of her eyes.

“I have to go….” she whispered.

Before I could say another word, she was running past me and towards the front door.

“Nan!” I called after her, but it was no use, the front door was slamming shut and Nan was running out of the mansion. I stood, confused.

I looked back at Chester who released a shaky breath of his own; he blinked a few times as if he had now just realized where he was. He looked at me and then at Harper who was staring at him questionably. She raised her brows and folded her arms across her chest as she slid off the counter.

“What was that all about?” She asked him.

He didn’t answer her, but instead, he looked at me.

“Who was that?” He asked me, taking me by surprise.

“What?” I asked him. “Why?”

“Just answer the question,” he said again, more firmly and making me take a step back. His eyes had gone wild, and my heart was beating fast against my ribcage. Something was wrong and I was determined to figure out what the hell it was.

“What the fuck, Chester. Who was that woman?” She asked, her brows furrowed as she glared at him. “ How could you chase after her and leave me alone like that?”

“I’m sorry, Harper,” he murmured. “But it was a mistake to make out with you like that in the kitchen. It shouldn’t have happened. You were right when you said we shouldn’t be having a relationship while we work together.”

His words took me by surprise; Chester wasn’t usually the logical one. He was a flirt and never cared about such a thing before. It seemed to have taken Harper by surprise too because her mouth fell open.

“W…what are you saying, Chester?” She asked, I could hear the hurt in her voice as she fought to keep her emotions in check.

He sighed and ran his fingers through his blond shaggy hair before he turned ot face her. His eyes were so serious, and it made Harper’s eyes grow wide as she took a step away from him.

“I’m saying that we can’t see each other anymore,” he told her firmly. “I’m sorry… but whatever this is …” he said, motioning between the two of them. “It’s over.”
