Fortunately for her, she had successfully brought Anthea to Alex's attention.
With someone as nefarious as Alex involved, Anthea was sure to be in for a world of trouble!
Anthea's lips curled slightly as her gaze met Rebecca's.
Rebecca hadn't expected Anthea to lock eyes with her so suddenly. She quickly averted her gaze and, head down, made her way to another exit.
It wasn't long before she reached the back hall.
In stark contrast to the brightly lit front hall, the back was much more subdued.
Two elderly gentlemen, one tall and one short, stood outside the door.
"It's Miss Yeager!" Kendrick's face lit up with excitement as he spotted Anthea, "Miss Yeager!"
"Hey, Kendrick," Anthea acknowledged him.
"It really is you, Miss Yeager!" Kendrick continued, "I've been looking for you for three days now!"
Alex chimed in with a reminder, "Mr. Wright, it's getting late. Perhaps we should invite Ms. Yeager inside to talk."
"Right, of course!" Kendrick ushered Anthea inside.
Outside earlier, Audrey hadn't gotten a clear look at Anthea.
But now, upon seeing her, Audrey was flabbergasted.
This young lady was stunning!
Not only was she a brilliant physician, but she was also beautiful.
Audrey glanced from Alex to Anthea, her eyes brimming with satisfaction.
Perfect! They were a perfect match! She had never seen a couple so well-suited for each other.
Alex was 28, Anthea 18. Despite the ten-year gap, the girls these days often preferred a man slightly older than themselves.
An older man brought a sense of security.
