Chapter 13

“Hi Mr. Ford, I’m so pleased you accepted my invite,” Mr. Smith enthusiastically welcomed Denver’s team. They firmly shook hands while I stayed behind with a disrupted heart and mind.

“This is Meadow Parker, the woman I mentioned to you when we spoke the last time,” he introduced naturally like a true business person. "Well, he really is" I hissed at the foolish thought.

Meadow showed her captivating smile while shaking hands with Mr. Smith. Everyone exchanged hi’s and hello’s before Miss Vera announced and motioned us to the dining table.

Mr. Smith sat down on the head of the table while Miss Vera was positioned on his left side and Denver across from her. But before Denver could settle on his seat, he pulled a chair for Meadow and they looked sweet together.

“Such a gentleman,” I muttered mentally. I felt something sting in my chest that brought discomfort to my system. Truth be told, the wave of those jealous days I had for her before awakened from the very moment I saw her again.
