Lodge , can you at least tell me where were going nowhat youve made me change into this outfit ? Ariana murmured .
This isnt something you wear to an ordinary vent .

Hearing this , Ariana frowned .
Why not take Evelyn instead ? You want me to take Evelyn ? Brian asked , his tone laced with irritation .

Granger is a better match for you , Ariana retorted .
Ariana , are you trying to push me away ?! What do you mean , Mr.

He had never noticed just how breathtaking she could look when she put in the effort .
Mr.
Lodge , this dress suits Ms.
Torrey perfectly , someone from the team chimed in .

Hearing the voices around him , Brian snapped back to reality .
