Revenge is My Love Language novel Chapter 171

“Is your leg hurting?”

Harrison’s sharp brows drew together in concern, his attention snapping instantly to her.

“Yeah, it is.”

Without hesitation, Harrison signaled for Logan to settle the bill, then took her hand, ready to leave.

“Wait, sir—!”

The young woman from earlier wasn’t ready to give up. She boldly stepped right in front of them, blocking their way.

“Can I help you?” Harrison’s voice was icy and clipped, his presence so commanding it made everyone tense.

The girl’s face paled, but her infatuation only seemed to deepen. People were naturally drawn to power, and Harrison exuded a magnetic strength that was impossible to ignore.

She mustered her courage. “Sir, could I have your number? Please?”

Anastasia rolled her eyes so hard she nearly saw the back of her head.

She shot back, “Miss, don’t you think you should have a little self-respect?”

The girl’s expression turned wounded. “I just wanted to be friends. Do you have to be so rude?”

Anastasia scoffed. “Trying to cozy up to a married man and calling it friendship? I don’t owe you any manners.”

The other woman bristled. “Who says a married man can’t have female friends? Don’t you think you’re being a little controlling? He’s your husband, not your puppet.”

Anastasia’s lips curled into a mocking smile. “Oh, so you know he’s my husband? If I’m being controlling, what exactly are you doing butting in here and yapping away?”

That shut the other woman up for a moment.

“Seriously, how can someone be so shameless?” Anastasia muttered.

A few older women waiting in line nearby were watching, not bothering to hide their disdain. They started whispering to each other, throwing judgmental glances at the persistent girl.

“Honestly, who is she fooling with that ‘just friends’ nonsense? Right in front of his wife, too! The nerve of some people these days.”

The girl’s cheeks flushed crimson as she heard the murmurs around her.
