She’d wiped off her makeup on the way back.
But getting recognized this late? Totally not on her bingo card.
“No way you’re not her. Alexander ditched you.” He burst out laughing.
Elizabeth’s face turned stormy.
“And how do
know it was him dumping me and not the other way around?” she shot back.
The guy tilted his head, smirking. “Chicks are just arm candy. Someone like Alexander? You think he’d stick around for years? Don’t kid yourself. He’s all about Esme now, but tomorrow? Who knows. Get it?”
