After the banquet, Julius brought Yvonne out with him.
"Janina, just to let you know, Yvonne is staying with us tonight." Julius said coldly.
It was less of a discussion and more of an order.
"Fine," Janina replied flatly, her face impassive.
Who he brought home was his business, not hers.
She opened the car door herself and slid into the back seat.
All the twisted, frenzied jealousy and pain had stemmed from her obsession with Julius.
An obsession that had consumed her for ten years.
No, in a month, it would have been eleven.
Now, watching Julius with Yvonne, she saw a mirror of her own past feelings for him. Theirs was a passion at its peak, while she had already pulled herself free from her own madness.
Yvonne glanced at Julius, hesitating awkwardly by the car. She wanted to sit in the front passenger seat, but she worried it would look too deliberate. At the same time, she definitely didn't want to sit in the back with Janina.
She wanted to be closer to Julius, but she couldn't be the one to suggest it. She looked at him, her expression timid, like a little rabbit left out in the cold.
Julius was still a bit thrown by Janina's compliant behavior today. His sharp eyes flickered to the woman already settled in the back before he opened the front passenger door.
"Yvonne, you'll be more comfortable up here."
And so, Yvonne 'reluctantly' took her seat in the front.
