"Ruby!"
Derek froze the instant he saw her, his hand slipping guiltily out of Bailey's grip as if her fingers had suddenly turned into live wires. "What are you doing here?"
Ruby said nothing as anger coursed through her veins like an angry viper. She turned her face away, her fingers curled on her lap, and her knuckles turning white as she fought to keep her calm.
Seeing Derek with Bailey still stung, no matter how much she told herself she'd moved on. But she couldn't risk them suspecting a thing. At least not for the moment.
Bailey blinked twice, her expression shifting from shock to forced delight.
"Cousin?! What a surprise!" She exclaimed, her voice dripping with fake sweetness.
Elena didn't waste any seconds as she stood up shielding Ruby from the shameless couple.
"Well, well... If it isn't the shameless he-goat and his two-timing mistress." She sneered, anger seeping through her veins.
