Chapter 140

• Gemma stayed quiet while they continued to mingle among the party. Talking to different companies. Companies who were interested in joining up with them while other were competitors. Keeping the conversations brief and quick while Derek hadn’t said much of anything to Gemma either. Earlier’s little surprise had both of them holding their tongues. She didn’t know how to address it. And neither did he. One simple secret making a situation more intense.
• Eventually, they had both had enough of this party and started to leave heading into the elevator, once the doors were closed Gemma’s nervousness skyrocketed and the silence that she normally enjoyed was agitating her.
• “I’m sorry,” she quickly said turning to Derek. But he said nothing. Didn’t even look at her. Just straight ahead at the elevator doors. His hands are in his pocket. “Aren’t you going to say something? Ask something?”
