The price of betrayal (Jack and Ashley) novel Chapter 93

"You did all of that just to make me see you again and to make me regret leaving you. Well, it looks like you succeeded. I really do regret it now. Are you happy?"

By the end of it, two tears slid down Megan's cheek. She made it look like she was extremely aggrieved and was evoking sympathy from Nolan.

Nolan sighed softly as he looked at Megan. "Megan, as the CEO of a major company, won't you feel ashamed crying in the middle of the street?

"Anyone passing might think I was the one who made you cry. Come on. Stop crying, alright?"

Megan knew her tears were having the desired effect when she saw Nolan's attitude soften. She immediately balled her hands into fists and playfully hit his chest.

Megan sniffled. "It's all your fault, you bully. You're such a meanie. It's all your fault."

To any onlooker, Megan appeared coquettish. They looked like a couple teasing each other.

Nolan looked at Megan helplessly and shook his head. "That's enough. Fine. I'm the bad guy. Everything is my fault. Are you happy now? So, what do you want?"

Megan looked up at him, still sniffling. "I want you to leave Audrey. I don't like her. She's been coveting you ever since she met you.

"She still hasn't given up after all these years. I can't stand her. I don't want you to be with her. Leave her, okay?"

Megan was definitely being playfully demanding, but her demand was too much.

After a moment of silence, Nolan looked at Megan and responded, "Audrey and I have always been just friends. Besides, what makes you think I would agree to your request?

With that, Megan called out to Jeanne, "Jeanne, are you done? If you are, we should get going."

As she spoke, both Audrey and Jeanne looked toward Megan. Right then, Megan flashed a smile, extended her arms, and gave Nolan a hug.

It was a deliberate move, for she shot a glance at Audrey as she did so. Sure enough, Megan noticed Audrey's unease and worry.

When Jeanne and Audrey reached them, Megan, seemingly in a good mood, said with a smile, "Well, since we're all done here, we should get going.

"Audrey, I'll leave Nolan in your care for the next few days. I'll make sure to make it up to you later. Goodbye."

With that, Megan and Jeanne got into the car. Even in the car, Megan didn't forget to wave to Nolan and the now pale and visibly distressed Audrey.
