THE SECRET HEIRESS
I saw Jacob’s gaze sweep over Dennis from head to toe, taking in every detail.
My heart sank. Jacob was scrutinizing him. Hard.
Dennis, of course, didn’t flinch. He stood there with his cap pulled low, hands casually tucked into his pockets, as if he didn’t have a care in the world.
Jacob turned his attention back to me, and I could feel his unspoken question hanging in the air.
“And who might this be?” Jacob asked, raising an eyebrow as his eyes flickered toward Dennis again.
Before I could formulate an excuse, Dennis moved with lightning speed. He took two quick steps toward Jacob, extending his hand with an overly enthusiastic grin. “Good afternoon, sir!” he said cheerfully.
