A Love Rekindled (Nancy and Bruce) novel Chapter 41

Douglas' expression turned serious. "Nancy, do we really need to split hairs like this?"

He made it sound so natural that it was starting to convince me that paying him for the book was blasphemy for our friendship.

Caroline had teased me about being too uptight before, so I decided to change my approach and smiled. "Fine. Thank you."

"Hello, Mr. Irvin, Nance," a soft voice suddenly interrupted. "What a coincidence."

I turned around and immediately spotted Bruce and Cindy who were standing not far away.

Bruce was holding several books and stood quietly by Cindy's side. There was a weird glint in his eyes and he was even sneering mockingly.

Cindy had come to the bookstore to find materials related to game programming. As for Bruce, it goes without saying that he came along to keep an eye on his sweetheart.

The two had been browsing the bookstore for a while but were still short on one programming book on their shopping list. They were anxiously looking around for it.

"Mr. Irvin, are you accompanying Nance to pick out books too?" Cindy blinked her doe eyes at Douglas. "Are you searching for detective fiction?"

Douglas scratched his head. "We just happened to bump into each other."

As soon as he finished speaking, I noticed a pair of eyes sweeping over from across the aisle. I glanced up and realized that it belonged to Bruce.

Our gazes met, but I pretended not to notice and turned to point at the bookshelf. "Second book from the left top shelf."

Cindy was puzzled. "What?"

"The book you're looking for," I sighed.

Cindy glanced at the spot I pointed to and exclaimed in surprise, "You're amazing, Nance!"

I smiled but didn't say anything.

The bookstore had been around for seven or eight years now. During my university days, I came here often with Bruce. I had a fair idea about the programming books inside. So how could I not know where they were?

Cindy, grateful for finding the book, smiled. "Thank you, Nance. How about we treat you and Mr. Irvin to a meal?"
