NOAH
Riley always had the worst fucking timing.
I had been so pissed by the time I got to the office, my anger rising as I thought of how Ciara had managed to make herself look perfectly innocent.
How she had kept asking what she did, if she did anythng to make me mad. Like she did nothing wrong. Like I was the one being irrational and childish.
I wanted to confront her, to ask her why she kept the meeting with Marcus away from me.
But I didn't. I swallowed my anger and was prepared to unleash it all on the workload I had to deal with at the office, when Riley came in.
"Noah. Thank God you're here. Before you say anything, I know you asked me to stay away, but I just…something happened. I didn't know who else to call," her voice broke at the end, and her lips trembled as if she was holding back tears.
I wasn't moved one bit.
I knew Riley. She always lost her shit over even the simplest things. Riley had always been too emotional even when we were together.
