Betrayed and Dumped: She Rose Stronger Than Ever novel Chapter 10

Bruce gave a soft smile. “Yeah, I believe you. Just don’t let them get too comfortable. If you ever need backup, tell me right away.”

He stood up and the two of them headed for the door.

Out of nowhere, Sonja’s ankle rolled, and she stumbled. She nearly went down, but Bruce caught her before she could fall.

His voice was tight with worry. “Are you okay?”

Sonja shook her head. “I’m fine.”

Bruce looked at her ankle and frowned. “It’s already swollen. That’s not fine. I’ve got some ointment in my office.”

Before Sonja could protest, he scooped her up and rushed her straight to his office.

The meeting had just let out, and plenty of people were still milling around the top floor.

“Wait, was that Mr. Lamont carrying Dr. Campbell?”

“Oh my god, is Sonja... Mr. Lamont’s girlfriend?”

“I swear, I think she is! Mr. Lamont is always so cold. I’ve never seen him look so anxious about anyone. The way he looked at Dr. Campbell just now was just... They’re such a good couple. The icy CEO and the gorgeous, brilliant VP. I ship them so hard!”

Lottie stopped in her tracks.

Bruce and Dr. Campbell? Together?

As she walked by, her coworkers pulled her into the gossip circle. “Lottie, don’t you think Mr. Lamont and Dr. Campbell are perfect for each other? Like, seriously perfect.”

Lottie glanced over toward the CEO’s office.

She saw Bruce, brows knitted, tearing through cabinets until he found the first-aid kit. His expression changed when he spotted the bottle of liniment, and he went straight to Sonja, kneeling to gently lift her foot. He slipped off her shoe, poured a little of the medicine into his palm, and started massaging her ankle with so much care.

Lottie just stared. She’d never seen Bruce like this before.

Were Bruce and Sonja really that good together?

She smiled and nodded. “Yeah. They actually are.”
