Chapter 174: Time for sweet revenge
Xavier and I both whipped our heads around to find ourselves looking into a pair of familiar dark brown eyes that we haven’t seen in a while now.
I arched my brow as we locked eyes from a distance.
"Bryce?" His name left my lips, my voice carrying a hint of surprise as I looked at him. "It’s been a while. What are you doing here? How did you know..." My voice trailed off and he chimed in before I could even complete the sentence.
"That you two are here?" He questioned, amusement dancing in his eyes as he sauntered over towards us, closing the gap between us in a few large strides. I watched as the corners of his lips curled upwards into a smug smile. "I am a private investigator. Of course I know everything," he bragged as a low chuckle emerged from his throat.
A soft laughter escaped my parted lips while a slight smile tugged at the corners of Xavier’s lips.
Bryce turned to meet Xavier’s gaze. "How are you doing?" He asked with concern. "Better?"
"Mhmm..." Xavier replied. "At least I can walk on my own without needing the wheelchair now," he said with a casual shrug like the accident was nothing more than a piece of gum stuck to his shoe.
Bryce smiled. "That’s good to hear."
Silence settled among us for a while before I chimed in this time, Bryce’s words from earlier was stuck in the back of my mind the moment he entered the room.
"So..." I drawled, anticipation hanging on my face as I turned to look at Bryce who was standing before us. "What was it that you were talking about? What is it that we might want to hear?" I questioned, hurling question after question. My eyes were burning with curiosity as I inched closer towards him, keeping my gaze fixated on his face.
"Oh yeah, what was it?" Xavier asked with curiosity too.
