There was something odd about the way they interacted—distant, yet strangely familiar.
Danielle, however, couldn’t care less.
She left with Harold, slipping into the car beside him.
Kirsten and Gian were already waiting inside.
Kirsten turned to Danielle with a playful glint in her eyes. “I was just saying I should be the one to pick you up, but Mr. Chapman insisted on coming himself. Said it would be more sincere. So, we just lounged in the car and waited. You’re not mad I didn’t greet you personally, are you?”
“Of course not,” Danielle replied with a polite smile.
Kirsten was sharp; it was clear she’d picked up on the subtle way Harold treated Danielle differently.
He really wasn’t trying to hide it.
Kirsten grinned. “I saw you and Alexander coming out of the same elevator. Did you two run into each other?”
Danielle turned her head and gazed out the window, her voice calm. “We’re staying at the same hotel. It’s not that strange to bump into each other.”
Harold watched her profile, trying to read her. Danielle’s expression gave little away, but he could sense a hint of something beneath the surface.
He spoke softly. “Miss Crawford, is there some special connection between you and Mr. Davidson?”
The question caught Danielle off guard for a moment.
She’d almost forgotten there was someone in the car who was good at reading between the lines.
She pulled her gaze back from the window, meeting Harold’s eyes. “No, just a professional relationship. We’ve worked together, that’s all.”
Kirsten chimed in then, turning to Harold. “Mr. Chapman, you and Alexander seemed pretty close. I’ve been wanting to ask since that day at the spa—what’s the story there? You two have history?”
Harold gave a cool, almost amused smile. “Not much to tell. We were on the same team once, but then we each went our separate ways.”
“Oh, really?” Kirsten pressed, eager for gossip. “So what kind of guy is Alexander? Did he date a lot back then? Any romantic baggage?”

The readers' comments on the novel: The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell
I'm already in chapter 432 ATM and I have the impression that the story is so slow. Daniele remains in the dark, her reputation is low and inexistent, her accomplishment and professional abilities are stiĺl hidden, her enemies are taking the joy in humiliatihg her. No evolution in the plot? Please don't stay long in this,readers might lose interest in the long run....
Please update...
The last chapter was too short. More pls. Thank you....
Lovin' this. More more pls!...
