"How come I didn't know about this?" Shane Sterling asked.
"You didn't know?"
"Who told you?"
Joy Jennings had been the one to tell her that Shane Sterling and Annabelle Leighton were dating, but Annabelle had also said it herself.
"Miss Leighton said so."
"When?"
Isla Prescott thought back. It must have been that time Wendy Bell first suggested taking her to a business dinner. Annabelle Leighton had cut them off by crashing her car, and the excuse she'd used then was that Isla was seducing her boyfriend.
'Wait... the excuse she *used*...'
'Could it be that the whole "boyfriend-girlfriend" thing was just an excuse Annabelle made up?'
"Are those big eyes of yours just for decoration?" Shane Sterling jutted his chin toward Annabelle Leighton and Morgan Hayes outside. "Annabelle's feelings for Morgan are practically written on her forehead. You really can't see that?"
