Chasing His Scentless Mate (Caroline) novel Chapter 81

Chapter 81: Chapter 81 Lunch Time

Caroline’s POV

I was back to crying myself to sleep, my heart shattered after finding out Draven hooked up with that bitch Ella while begging for my forgiveness. The betrayal hit harder than I thought possible. I was completely drained, and Rory kept whimpering inside me, sharing my pain.

The day had barely started when I was at my desk talking business with Mr. Reeves and Ruby. Ruby was all excited, going on about her brother’s place.

"Mr. Reeves, you gotta take your mate to my brother’s bar," Ruby said, beaming. "It’s perfect for chilling after a rough week."

"Sounds like it might become her new favorite spot," Mr. Reeves smiled. "She’s been saying we need more date nights."

Eleanor popped up suddenly, looking like she had some urgent news to share.

"Sorry to cut in, Mr. Reeves, but can I steal these two for a sec?" she asked, trying to sound casual but her eyes saying something else.

"Sure thing, Eleanor," Mr. Reeves nodded. "They were just telling me about Ruby’s brother’s bar for a date night with my mate."

"Oh you’ll love it," Eleanor said with a polite smile. "Didn’t you say your mate loves dancing? The music’s amazing there."

Ruby jumped in, "Mr. Reeves, just let me know when you want to go, and Jax will hook you up with a sweet table. Got some super romantic spots upstairs if it’s just you two, or if you’re bringing friends, we’ll put you near the dance floor."

"I’ll talk to her tonight and let you know, Ruby. Thanks for the tip," Mr. Reeves said as he walked off, humming to himself.

"Does that guy ever stop humming?" Eleanor asked as we watched him walk away.

Ruby and I looked at each other. "Nope," we said together, laughing.

"Way too happy," Eleanor said before getting serious. "Heads up, girls. Ryan, Draven, and Joseph are trying to trap us at lunch."

"What are you talking about?" Ruby’s eyes got big.

Eleanor leaned in close. "That idiot Joseph is setting us up. I caught him on the phone with those assholes. He told them to wait outside where I wouldn’t spot them. When we go for lunch, they’re gonna stalk us and corner us at whatever restaurant we pick, thinking we won’t make a scene in public," Eleanor explained their plan. "And they’re making it look random so we can’t threaten them with harassment."

I let out a tired sigh. "Guess we’re doing takeout in the office today."

"Hell no!" Ruby said, her eyes lighting up. "We’re not letting them push us around with this high school bullshit. And we’re definitely not hiding."

"You’ve got something evil planned, don’t you?" Eleanor grinned, and Ruby smirked back.
