Leap OF Fate
Chapter 14
“It’s not what you think,” It was Bryan who spoke and met Justin’s inquiring eyes. His voice cold and detached.
“And what am I thinking, huh?” Justin’s eyes challenged Bryan’s. The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Serene felt trapped between two boulders about to clash on each other.
“Mr. Rain,” Serene finally found her voice. “Mr. Cooper and I knew each other from when I was in college. We have not seen each other for quite some time. Let me assure you that there is nothing going on between the two of us,” she explained in a single breath.

My work does not need direct interaction with him and his husband” she repeated this several times like a mantra.
