A Love Rekindled (Nancy and Bruce) novel Chapter 98

The streets were busy, and there was only one main road. So, inevitably, I had to go past Bruce and Cindy in order to get to Nikolai's studio.

I wasn't too far away from them. But since Bruce was patiently listening to Cindy, they hadn't realized my presence.

I had also just found out about what Cindy was bothered by.

Other than me being their third wheel, she was also bothered by our differences at work.

I didn't intend to eavesdrop, so I started to walk away.

But suddenly, I heard Bruce saying in a deep voice, "Last night, who was the one who came to my office looking all pitiful? And who was the one who postponed his morning meeting to accompany you?"

All of a sudden, my legs felt heavy, as if they had been chained down.

It turned out that Bruce had postponed his morning meeting so that he could be here.

Then, Cindy started to beat herself up, saying, "I know that this goes against your principles. But Nance and Caroline have been troubled and anxious over this. I really couldn't bear to see them like that.

"Moreover, I was the one who suggested changing the character's image. So, I wanted to play my part and share the load too. I'm sorry that I troubled you."

"No. It's no trouble," Bruce casually said.

After hearing his response, Cindy looked more relaxed. Then, she happily linked arms with Bruce and smiled. "I just wanted to perform well in front of everyone. I was wrong. I shouldn't have been envious of Nance."

I looked up slightly upon hearing my name.

Then, without realizing it, I found myself looking at Bruce's face.

He smiled and said in a warm tone, "There's no need to rush. Take your time. We have lots of time."

It was only at this moment that I knew Bruce could have such a patient side to him.

He was someone who thought that I was wasting my time by growing a bougainvillea plant. Yet, today, he put his workload aside to accompany the apple of his eye as she learned to be more mature.

At the end of the day, I just wasn't as fortunate.

But then again, I should be glad.

After all, there was nothing that couldn't be done as long as Bruce had set his mind to accomplishing it.

We would probably be able to see Camille soon enough.
