Chapter 13
The amusement park was almost finished, and I didn’t want to bail at such a crucial time.
Around noon, while I was organizing my stuff, Demi came up to me with a weird look on her face. “Keira, are you on your period?”
I stared at her. “Why? Am I not allowed to?”
“No, no.” Demi shook her head frantically. “I mean, Mr. Johnston’s been in a terrible mood today. Guess he’s just sexually frustrated.”
I paused, then realized what she meant.
I tapped her head with my pen. “Focus on your work during work hours and stop with the

Demi giggled and handed me the report we reviewed at the site yesterday. “I’m not just making this up. Everyone’s scared of Mr. Johnston today. Anyone

Snapping back to reality, I shot her a look. “Get back to work, or you’ll be the next one looking miserable.”

He didn’t reply, and I didn’t follow up.

“Keira, it’s me,” Tanya’s voice came through the line.

I underestimated her stubbornness. But I knew this was just a tactic to force me to meet her. I didn’t indulge her. “Fine, wait all you want.”
True to my word, I continued working. It wasn’t until everyone had left for the day that I headed to the café, surprised to find Tanya still there.
I walked over but soon heard familiar footsteps behind me. Jace strode past me, heading straight to Tanya.

Jace’s expression grew colder. Tanya quickly explained, “Jace, don’t get the wrong idea. I came to explain things to Keira about yesterday. I don’t want you two to have any misunderstandings because of me.
I smirked. ‘This bitch certainly knows how to play her cards. She deliberately ruined my with Jace last night, and now she’s playing the peacemaker.”
