At the restaurant Jessica had already finished three cups of coffee
Awaiterapproachedher.”Ms.Larson,wouldyoulike anothercupofcoffee?”

The waiter suggested Maybe you should call Mr Hawk and see if he s coming
A cold laugh came from across the table Halsey who had been waiting with Jessica for an hour also hadn t seen Stanley
Didn t you say Stanley invited you here Then why hasn the come You ve been waiting for an hour already
Jessica s face turned ashen At first she was sure Stanley would come and she was ready to watch Halsey get proven wrong
But now Stanley hadn t appeared and the dynamic between Jessica and Halsey was shifting
Halsey had been waiting to see Jessica humiliated and to prove her wrong
Itwasinfuriating.
Jessica s mood soured She glared at the waiter What do you mean You think Mr Hawk isn t coming
The waiter wiped cold sweat from his forehead N No that s not what I meant
