Her voice became shriller. “Whatever happened between the two of you in the past was not Leandro’s fault. You were the stupid one—-”

“I’m going to personally escort you out if you don’t shut up now.” Leandro was badly tempted to call for his security, but courtesy forbade him from doing so. Anna had been his ticket into Bobby’s world today, and unfortunately it meant he was responsible for the mess she was now creating.

“—-to think that someone like Leandro would really want to be with you forever!”

“That’s it,” Leandro gritted out. He unceremoniously started hauling Anna towards the door.

“Let me go!” Anna struggled to get back to Bobby, hatred and envy making her want to say the most painful things to the girl who had actually managed to reach a part of Leandro that she knew she could never reach.

When she realized she was just a few steps from the doors, Anna’s head snapped back towards Bobby. She screamed, “I hope you’re smarter now! If Leandro’s back in your life then he probably needs to use you, too.”

Leandro threw the door open and thrust Anna into the arms of the security officers guarding the exit. “Drive her back to her office.” He slammed the door shut on a still-screaming Anna. He turned around, his eyes immediately looking for Bobby.

Their gazes met.

And that was the exact moment the full import of Anna Largess’ words really sunk in.

Leandro could never love her, and if he had come back in her life, then it was only because he had found a use for her again.

With a choked cry, Bobby rushed towards the other pair of exit doors.

“Bobby, wait!”

Leandro’s voice behind her made Bobby run as fast as her legs could carry her.

“Bobby!”

She slammed her hand on the elevator’s button and gasped for relief when the doors slid open.Thank You, God.She rushed in, turned around, and shrieked as Leandro was able to follow her into the elevator just as the doors closed.

His hand slammed on theEmergency Stopbutton, and the elevator shuddered into a stop.

Shit. Now she was trapped with him in close quarters.

“Bobby—-”
