Chapter 86: Gossips & Whispers
A frown appeared on my face as my eyes darted around the exhibition hall anxiously as if I was searching for some clarity. I didn’t understand what was going on at that moment, neither did Xavier. We looked at each other and I could feel my heart thumping loudly against my chest, as if it was threatening to burst out at any given second now.
I could now feel everyone’s eyes and stares on me as they pointed at me and murmured among themselves, letting the whispers of gossip fill the air within a split second.
"Isn’t that her?" One pointed out with a judgmental tone.
"Oh my god, it is her! How could they let this happen?" Voices started to buzz in the place before I knew it. "Isn’t that so shameless?"
I had this bad gut feeling that washed over me in an instant and that was when the ding of my phone jolted me back to reality. I let my eyes flicker down to look at the screen of my phone to see that I have received a message with a link to a news site.
By now, my heart was already racing more than a mile an hour. I clicked on the link and the familiar image popped up to greet me. Recognition flashed past my dark eyes at that moment, I recognised that picture.
It was the picture that Evelyn had taken of Henry Jones and I at the restaurant when she accused us of having some intimate and inappropriate relationship. He had his hand on my thigh as he looked at me with a smile etched onto his face, that scene was forever stuck at the back of my mind.
My eyes jumped to the news title that was written right below the incriminating picture.
Henry Jones, Director of the ArtsVerse was seen getting intimate with featured Artist, Aurelia Holt!
