Enchanted Nightfall: Falling for Destiny ( Quintessa and Tyrone ) novel Chapter 179

Tyrone’s voice was unusually calm, as indifferent as a cup of cooled white water. His expression was as plain as his tone, but the veins bulging on the back of his hand betrayed the storm of emotions within him.

Quintessa!

Alexander!

The two names echoed rapidly in Tyrone's mind, repeatedly assaulting his nerves.

Even what Alexander said again, he didn't have the mind to listen.

Snapping back to the moment, Tyrone said casually, “I’m sorry, what? Bad connection, I didn’t catch it.”

Alexander repeated his question, “Tyrone, you really don’t know her?”

Suspicion laced Alexander’s voice, but Tyrone smiled, “Of course not. Why would I pay attention to some minor celeb? If I’m going to notice anyone, she would have to be an A-list star. Who is she anyway?”

Tyrone’s words seemed genuine; even Alexander, a shrewd lawyer skilled at reading people, couldn’t detect the lie.

Desperation crept into Alexander’s voice as he pressed, “Then can you look her up for me? Her agency, her address, please.”

Tyrone's hand was almost squeezing the phone to pieces, but his response was casual, “Sure, no problem.”

In the next breath, Tyrone’s tone turned nonchalant, “This Quintessa, is she the one you fell for at first sight?”

A sigh traveled through the line as Alexander confessed, “It’s her.”

Over the phone, Tyrone sensed a lot of emotions, nostalgia, joy, infatuation, from Alexander's brief sentence.
