Chapter 937

Lenny’s eyes dimmed slightly. “I… I’m sorry. I was overthinking.”

Before he could finish, Michelle pressed her lips to his.

The kiss came out of nowhere-fast, sudden, and utterly unanticipated.

Lenny didn’t even have time to react before Michelle pulled away and ran.

The balcony door swung open behind her, letting the noisy music from inside flood the night air. For a moment, the world seemed to spin, and Lenny wondered if he’d imagined it.

Had Michelle just kissed him?

Rushing back into the living room, Michelle darted straight for the bathroom.

She turned on the faucet and splashed cold water on her face again and again, until she finally looked up

at the mirror.

The reflection staring back was almost unrecognizable.

Her hand went to her lips. The lipstick was smeared, leaving a faint shadow at the corner of her mouth. Her heart raced, her mind a chaotic mess.

The image of that kiss replayed in her head, making her slap at the mirror in disbelief.

What on earth had she done? Had she gone completely insane?

“Michelle?”

“Michelle?”

Voices came from outside-Estelle and Edward.

Michelle’s behavior today was so out of the ordinary that not even Estelle could make sense of it. Edward, on the other hand, was noticeably anxious.

In the past, Edward and Michelle had been admired as the perfect “almost couple.” He had been young and proud then, and neither had dared take that step. Now, older and more reflective, he longed to

recapture the innocent flutter of first love.

Estelle knew Edward had intentionally reached out to Michelle, and Michelle had already moved on from Khloe’s shadow. That was why this evening’s party had even happened.

But Michelle’s reaction was far from what anyone had expected. She hadn’t even glanced meaningfully

at Edward.

The bathroom door opened. Edward was the first to step forward. “Michelle, are you feeling unwell? Should I take you-”

“I’m fine,” Michelle cut him off, avoiding his hand and moving straight to grab her clothes and bag.

Estelle’s eyes widened. “You’re leaving?”

“Yes. It’s late, I’ll head back.”

“Weren’t you supposed to stay over tonight? Didn’t you already check with your parents?”

Estelle followed, grabbing her arm. “You don’t like Edward anymore? If that’s the case, just tell me I’ll handle it. Why are you sulking?”

Michelle lifted her gaze. “I’m not sulking. I just… don’t feel like playing anymore.”

She turned, only to spot Lenny returning from the balcony. She quickly shook off Estelle and ran off.

Edward grabbed his coat and hurried after her.

Lenny watched the two of them move off, one ahead of the other, his expression darkening.

Estelle noticed him and smiled brightly. “Michelle left first. Edward is probably taking her. Don’t worry about it.”

“Since Miss Keller has left, I should take my leave as well,” Lenny said politely.

“Wait.”

He started to step away, but Estelle blocked him. She had been planning, to spend the evening having fun with Michelle, but now that Michelle had left silently, her entertainment was gone too.

At first, Estelle hadn’t understood, but now, it was dawning on her. Michelle had been unusually focused on this assistant from the very beginning.

Estelle knew Michelle’s type-she admired strength, power, and boldness in a man.

Who would have thought she’d be interested in a lowly assistant?

No wonder even an elite specimen like Edward couldn’t capture Michelle’s attention tonight.

It suddenly made sense.

But even though Michelle had been hurt by Nick, did she really have to compete for an assistant?

Estelle’s surprise turned to irritation as she pieced together Michelle’s intentions.
