Penelope imagined many scenarios about how she would feel upon seeing Lance Oliver again. Still, it surprised her that she didn't feel any resentment or anger toward the man who betrayed her in the past. Seeing him with his wife, Rachel, Penelope felt uneasy in the same place. Despite her unease, she forced a smile as the couple approached her.
"What a surprise, Miss Dimitriou. I heard other guests say that you are here. I didn't expect to see you at this event," Rachel greeted her. Her voice was smooth, but Penelope could sense the hint of mockery in her tone.
Meanwhile, Lance looked as if he swallowed a fly. After so many years of not seeing each other, he couldn't meet Penelope's gaze. Penelope wondered what he was thinking. Did he still hate after what she'd done to his sister, Amanda?
