He Scorned Me, Now I’m a CEO He Can’t Afford Chapter 40

Lena’s feet felt nailed to the ground.

A shadow fell over her.

She slowly raised her head and met Wyatt’s eyes.

Even though Hank had told her Wyatt was looking for her, she had never expected him to actually show up here.

The moment Wyatt saw her, his carefully controlled composure shattered.

Relief at finally finding her.

Anger that she had been avoiding him.

And a sharp pain at seeing her instinctive retreat.

In the end, only one question made it past his lips.

“Lena, were you just trying to avoid me?”

Lena’s expression flickered.

She quickly looked away.

“No. You’re mistaken.”

“You’re lying,” Wyatt said, stepping closer. “You were never a good liar.”

At that, Lena almost laughed.

She finally lifted her head and looked at him.

“Don’t act like you know me so well.”

If he could really tell when she was lying, why had he never seen through her act?

Why had he chosen Clara over her, every single time?

She couldn’t be bothered to say any of it.

But even unspoken, Wyatt seemed to understand.

His face paled, and the fire in his eyes scattered.
