Chapter 380


    Chapter 380


    Mason cracked a smile, “Easier said than done, man. These things take time. But hey, if you know


    someone who’s good for me, feel free to y matchmaker. I’m not asking for the moon here. As long


    as she’s easy on the eyes, and has a personality kinda like Celeste, we’re golden.”


    Liam stared deep into Mason’s eyes, not sure if he was just messing around or dead serious


    Meanwhile, Celeste was way more chill about the whole thing, kinda stoked, actually. She leaned in


    and whispered to Liam,”See? I’m hot property on the dating market.”


    With Nics in the picture, and now Mason, Celeste was on cloud nine and couldn’t help but beam


    with joy.


    Liam nced at her, “Yeah, being a looker with zero brain power sure makes you a hotmodity.”


    Celeste was like, “Jerk! Can’t you say anything nice?!”


    It turned out Mason was just joshing around. He put on a straight face and said in a gentle tone,”Let’s


    bounce and check out what Nics is up


    to.”


    As Trisha caught up, Dr. Ledford was having a chinwag with Nics.


    He’d slipped off his white coat and looked dapper in a suit, jawing with some mates, all smiles. Trisha


    was so starstruck she barely noticed anyone else. Dr. Ledford could do no wrong in her eyes.


    She primped a bit, then tip-toed over and called softly,” Dr. Ledford?”


    Jace Ledford froze for a moment and turned to look at her.


    His eyes scanned her from bottom to top, lingering on Trisha’s fair, slim legs, then up past her curves to


    her blushing face.


    He hesitated, then finally asked, “You are…?”


    Trisha’s heart sank a little when her crush didn’t recognize her. Trisha was a bit disappointed, but she


    still introduced herself, “I’m Trisha, the one who came to see you for a check-up. We even chatted on


    WhatsApp today.”


    “Oh, it’s you!”Jace seemed genuinely shocked. He got up and said warmly. “My bad, I didn’t recognize


    you. You look totally different.”


    As Trisha listened to his smooth, maic voice, her heart was doing somersaults.


    She spoke softly,”Well, we’re here for Mr. Francis’ birthday. Couldn’t show up looking like a scrub, so I


    cleaned up a bit.”


    Over yonder, Nics, who was boozing with friends, did a spit-take and gave Trisha a sideways


    nce.


    Not very tall, but well-proportioned, decent figure, toned arms and legs definitely not a pampered


    princess. More like a high schooler trying to wear grown-up clothes. Probably an athlete.

    He rummaged through his memory bank but couldn’t ce her face. Who the heck is she?


    He downed his drink and sauntered over to Jace, grinning like a Cheshire cat,”Whore you chatting


    with?”


    Jace answered, Ms. Colton here. You guys must know each other.”


    “Ms Colton?”


    Nics furrowed his brow.


    Trisha was wound tighter than a drum. Damn it, why did Nics have to show up now?! She hadn’t


    even made it halfway through her master n. She couldn’t let the cat out of the bag just yet!


    “Um…”


    Before Nics could finish, Trisha pounced and gave him a bear hug.”Nics! Long time no see!


    You’ve changed so much, I hardly recognize you!”


    Nics…


    He put his hands on Trisha’s shoulders, “Who the hell are”


    As soon as he pushed her back, Trisha went in for another bear hug,”Nics, do you think I’ve


    changed since we were kids?*
