Still You Still Me Still Falling novel Chapter 14

She turned on her heel and walked away.

Edmond didn't linger either, striding off in the opposite direction.

For the dinner that evening, Marcus Wagner had booked a different restaurant. Running into Edmond so many times had practically given him PTSD.

Sure, securing the investment was great, but it wasn't exactly helping his chances of wooing Sheila.

Plus, with Edmond's looks and physique, any man standing next to him was bound to feel instantly inferior.

The only saving grace was the rumor that Edmond had no interest in women. He had a daughter, but no one had a clue who the mother was. The running theory in their circles was that Edmond had gone abroad, paid a woman a massive sum to have his child, and cut all ties with her forever.

Even so, Marcus still felt a lingering sense of threat. Edmond might not be interested in Sheila, but what if Sheila was interested in Edmond? It was best to just eliminate the possibility from the start.

Unfortunately for him, some things simply refused to go according to plan.

That night, York Preston had a severe flare-up of his stomach ulcer and couldn't make it. When Sheila and Simon arrived at the restaurant, Simon said, "I'm going to hit the restroom. Wait for me here, and we'll go in together."

Sheila gave a soft hum of agreement. Her mood had been plummeting for days, and she knew exactly why.

After all, Edmond had been her first—and only—man. Everything he had given her, the breathless romance and the devastating heartbreak, wasn't something that could easily be erased.

"Edmond!"

The familiar name rang out, and Sheila instinctively looked up.

A man and a woman rounded the corner from another hallway, walking away from her. The man in front was Edmond. Pippa Golding was jogging slightly to keep up with him.

Even from just his back, Sheila would know him anywhere. He was like a ghost that refused to be exorcised!
