Aveline's heart pounded against her chest, as she continued towards the big room.
The encounter with Nadia Sinclair had left her battling with mixed feelings.
She was hurt by the words spewed on her, but the way she handled it also impressed her.
Maybe it was true what they said after all. Maybe all she needed to do to the naysayers was to kill them with kindness.
She took a deep breath,when she saw the turn she remembered from the other day.
All she needed to do was to take it, and it'll lead her down to the big room.
"Kill them with kindness," she told herself again, as she took the turn.
At the same time, someone else was coming her way.
They bumped into each other, their bodies instantly clashing.
"Whoa! Watch it," she heard laughter, which was followed by a heavy hand on her shoulders, steadying her.
Slowly, Aveline lifted her gaze, and it locked on dark eyes.
"Hello Aveline," Reese Sinclair cracked a charming smile.
