“Why are you looking at me like that, Ms. Pearce?”
Joshua’s words immediately drew everyone’s attention.
He went on, “Ms. Pearce wants to go too, is that it? Are you hoping I’ll put in a good word for you?”
Rachel’s smile was starting to slip.
Did Joshua really just blurt out the truth like that?
She couldn’t wrap her head around what was going through his mind.
He must be out of his mind!
Rachel seethed with frustration, but she couldn’t very well lose her temper in front of everyone.
It was clear now—she couldn’t count on Joshua or Haynes for help.
Her gaze shifted to Keen, the one who was always easiest to persuade. “Keen, how about I come with you too? I know a thing or two about shooting. Want to make it a contest?”
Keen had been practicing lately, and at Rachel’s suggestion, his eyes lit up.
“Sure!”
Stella just glanced at Rachel with a cool indifference, saying nothing.
With so many people going, one more didn’t make a difference. Besides, now she could see for herself how Haynes would act toward Rachel once he knew the truth.
A lively group set off for the largest sports center in Neo-Vespera.
Stella, Keen, and Joshua shared one car.
Foreman and Haynes rode together in a second.
Aurora and Simone took the third.
Rachel eyed the lineup, then walked over to Stella’s car.
“Keen, can I ride with you?”
