I quickly lunge for my phone before he can move.
His eyes study me like a hawk as I open the screen. It’s a message from Pippa.
My chest falls with absolute relief. I give Eden a glare and turn the screen toward him. As if I've got nothing to hide from him.
"See? It's Pippa."
He blurts out a disbelieving laugh and falls back onto the bed, pulling the heavy duvet over his head.
I open Pippa’s message as I walk toward the bathroom. I can feel Eden’s eyes on my back, but I don't give a f**k about his monstrous gaze.
PIPPA:
***So I met up with Mark and we spoke to the boss.
She still insists on having you in her office tomorrow.
Maybe... just maybe she might still give you the raise, but we aren't sure. Just be early tomorrow, okay?***
My heart settles with a deep sense of relief.
