Daniel Harris looked up and gave Mabel Quinn a fleeting glance, "I heard you didn't go to work yesterday. What, were you so lovey-dovey with your Mr. Kinston that you didn't even want to go to work?"
Mabel was dumbfounded, completely unprepared for the sudden mention of "Mr. Kinston" from his mouth; for a moment, she just stared blankly at Daniel Harris.
Her silence, to him, was an admission.
For some unexplainable reason, his mood seemed to grow even more irritable, and even the strokes of the brush in his hand were unconsciously becoming heavier.
"Is Kyle Kinston the boyfriend you're talking about?" Daniel Harris's voice shattered the current silence.
Mabel finally snapped back to reality momentarily and replied, "How did you know?" She hadn't intentionally hidden her relationship with Kyle Kinston, but she didn't want everyone to know either; there was no need to become a spectacle.
"Do you think it's that hard for people to find out?" he countered.
She froze.
