Chapter 83: No apology
I heard that familiar voice that was here to taunt me again, a voice that I could recognise in just a split second.
Whipping my head around, my eyes fell on the pair of ice blue eyes once again and recognition flashed past my face. My brows naturally knitted together to form a tiny frown before I turned back to glare at my mother, a betrayed look swimming in my eyes.
"What is he doing here?" I questioned, my tone carrying a slight edge to it, clearly displeased with his sudden appearance. "Why is he here?"
Blake let out a chuckle, a smirk playing on his lips as we locked eyes. "Why couldn’t I be here?" He retorted, his eyes gleaming with defiance.
My mother immediately chimed in this time. "I called him here."
I let out a breath. "Why would you do that?"
She pressed her lips thin into a straight line and kept her gaze steady before she blurted out the next few words. "Do you have a problem with that?"
"Yeah, I do, actually," I replied within the next second, the sharpness in my response shocking her for a moment before she masked it with a nonchalant expression.
"Well, you need to learn to apologise to him for once!" Her shrill voice pierced through the air as tension lingered between us. "You can’t just try to ruin someone’s career and expect zero consequences," she spat the words out like they were poison in her mouth.
My eyes glanced over to see the smirk on Blake’s face grow wider as he folded his arms over his chest. I could sense the arrogance that was radiating from every inch of his skin, knowing that my mother had his back.
My gaze flickered back to meet my mother’s cold stare and I let a cold chuckle emerge from my parted lips.
