Chapter Sixteen

“Matthew,” Sarah called out suddenly, interrupting Matthew’s view as his eyes turned to her.

Restraining from saying anything that’ll make her angry, he curled his lips up and stood up to hug her, shocking the life out of Sarah.

“How are you? I’ve been waiting.”

He said, adjusting a chair for her.

Sarah took her seat, still in utmost shock, while Matthew glanced back at where Elena was seated, a frown etching his face as he saw only Jeremy sitting on the chair. He glanced at the exit to see Elena walking off, the expression on her face not visible to him, but he knew it was not good.

Some parts of him wanted to know what they discussed, while other parts didn’t want to know.

“I was caught up in something. I’m sorry.”

Sarah replied, pulling her tray closer to herself and throwing Matthew a small smile.

Matthew looked at her and smiled, too, continuing with his lunch with only a thought on his mind, Elena. She didn’t even finish what she got or didn’t even take more than a bite from it.
