A Love Rekindled (Nancy and Bruce) novel Chapter 54

When we arrived at the cinema, Douglas looked at the couple's seat and awkwardly scratched his head. "Sorry, I didn't know..."

Our seats were in the middle, and at that moment, all the other seats around us were filled with couples.

Regardless, I put on a calm demeanor and said, "The movie's about to start. Let's sit down."

During the movie, Douglas kept close to the edge of his seat, afraid to cross the boundary.

I noticed this and felt a wave of bitterness washing over me.

I'd done such a stupid thing before too, but the difference was that Douglas did it unintentionally, while I did it deliberately years ago.

I'd purposefully chosen a horror movie, and when the scariest part came, I intentionally snuggled into Bruce's arms, hoping that the statuesque man would fall for me.

But even until the end of the movie, Bruce didn't make a single move and maintained his dignified and cold demeanor.

However, in retrospect, Bruce was only indifferent toward me because I was the wrong person.

Just as I was lost in thought, I suddenly felt some warmth on my fingertips. Then, I looked down and realized that I had accidentally touched Douglas's hand while reaching for my hot drink.

Douglas paused, and surprise flashed in his eyes as he looked at me.

But just as I was about to explain myself to him, my phone vibrated, and I shifted my attention to it. Then, I took the opportunity to get up and left the theater.

However, upon seeing the caller ID, I felt a little dumbfounded.

It was a call from Bruce. He probably had some instructions again.

I pinched my brows before politely answering the call, "How may I help you at this late hour, Mr. Harold?"

Truth be told, it was only 9 pm. It could still be considered quite early.

Bruce cleared his throat before mockingly saying, "I remember you were always rushing to catch the last train, Ms. Fisher. What's with the change of routine tonight?”

I sighed and got straight to the point. "What can I do for you, Mr. Harold?"

"It's not a big deal. I just want you to help me set up a plugin on Facebook," Bruce hummed.

So, it was about work.
