Page 34 of Hers to Marry
Kat wanted to die. Her heart constricted painfully in her chest, and her eyes flooded with tears. “Parker, please. This…this isn’t what it looks like.”
Parker laughed harshly. “You’re seriously using that line, Kat? Out of all the people, I never would’ve expected this from you. The sweetest girl I know is a conniving backstabber.”
“Don’t blame her,” Drew said firmly. He put a hand to his chest. “It was all me. She didn’t want any of it.”
“Oh?” Parker crossed her arms over her chest, a look of feigned disbelief. “Is that why she looked half-swooned. I could swear I heard her sigh your name.”
Kat put a hand over her eyes. She didn’t remember that at all. Parker had a flare for the dramatic, but she wasn’t wrong about Kat not backing away. If Parker hadn’t come through the door when she did, Kat would still be in Drew’s arms—that Kat was sure of.
“Parker, that’s enough,” Drew said. He took her arm. “Let’s go somewhere and talk.”
She yanked her arm free. “I think we’ve done enough talking,” she hissed.
Her sharp gaze refocused on Kat. “We will no longer be needing your services. You’re fired. No cake, no wedding planning, nofriendship. I don’t ever want to see your face again. If I do, I’m going to let everyone know how you go aroundstealingother women’s fiancés. And to think I felt sorry for you and your ex!” She laughed viciously. “He had the right idea leaving you.”
“Parker!” Drew escorted Parker out.
Kat stood in the middle of her kitchen, shaking.
How did this happen?
