Chapter 39
Hazel POV
I walked out of the bustling cafe, the scent of fresh coffee still clinging to my clothes, and noticed a familiar, sleek black car parked by the side of the street.
My heart skipped a beat as I recognized the vehicle. It was Val's.
Hesitantly, I scurried closer, my hand clutching the signed documents tightly to my chest. I knocked on the car's tinted glass, my knuckles tapping a hesitant rhythm. The door clicked open, and I slowly slid into the passenger seat, my senses immediately assaulted by the sweet, intoxicating scent of fresh flowers. The entire car was covered with a blanket of rose petals, red flowers that smelled so great.
I looked at him, my mind a jumble of confusion. Was he waiting for someone? The real girl he liked? Was I just happening to pass by and ruin the mood, like a hapless heroine in one of those melodramatic soap operas of them catching their scrumbag husband proposing to his new mistress?
