Bella's POV
I stood above him in my blue dress, my face cold and expressionless as I looked down at him.
My frosty eyes, devoid of any warmth, landed on Gideon, making his scalp crawl.
For a moment, Gideon wondered, 'Did Bella deliberately lie in wait for me at the door?'
But when Gideon saw the package in Penny's hands, his posture immediately straightened, confidence surging back.
Seeing me all dressed up and carrying that package out so early in the morning, Gideon wondered, 'What is she up to?'
Just as I was about to walk past him, Gideon barked, "Wait!"
I paid him no mind, not even sparing him a glance.
Gideon's anger flared. He growled, his voice harsher. "I said stop!"
With a single swift stride, he lunged forward, blocking my path and made a grab for the package in Penny's hands.
The package contained my efforts from the entire night. If Gideon snatched it away, all my work would be wasted.
