Andrew exhales and places his index fingers together.

“Wow. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a selfless act of love. You really care about her, don’t you?”

“I do.”

He leans backward. “Did the smear article hit Consco badly?”

“Yes. It’s probably the worst hit in Consco’s history?”

“What news outlet published that?”

“It was The Tea.”

His nose wrinkles.

“That can’t be right. The Tea belongs to Eva. She’d never do that against her own friend.”

I take out my phone and search for the article. It pops up in seconds. I hand it over to him, and his jaw drops.

“I heard the rumors, but I didn’t see the original article. I had no idea. There must have been a reasonable explanation. Did she say she had no idea when they ran the story?”

I shake my head, pressing my lips together. “It was all her. She said she was mad at me for getting someone else pregnant.”

He lets out an uncomfortable chuckle, unbuttoning the top of his t-shirt.

“Is that a joke?”

“It’s not. We’re no longer friends. I ended my friendship with her.”

He gulps the last of his drink. I haven’t even touched mine. I pick it up and take a generous gulp.

“On behalf of the Davidsons, I’m truly sorry about this. I had no idea it was all her. I’ll make sure she’s held accountable for her careless and utterly silly actions.”

He stays silent, staring at nothing in particular.

“Your business is suffering so much because she was mad? I raised her better than that.”

His ears go red. It’s the first time I’ve seen Davidson get angry. He’s always so calm and soft-spoken. It’s not surprising he manages to stay calm even when he’s mad.

“This needs to be addressed as soon as possible. To make it up to you, I’ll consider opening the girl’s shop again.”

A smile forms on my face.

“Really?”

“Yes, but that’s not all. You won’t have to pay for it. I’ll make sure Eva does.”

I can’t believe it. I clasp my hands.

“That’s so kind of you. Thank you so much.”

“I’m not done.”

What does he mean by that?

“I’ll sign the partnership.”

My eyes go wide. I resist the urge to scream, but my hand fist pumps before I realize what’s happening.
