Chapter 130: Juanita

Dan remained in a foul mood all through the drive to the office as he listened to the chatter between Bella and Zach, even though he pretended not to be paying attention. 

"I tried calling you yesterday, but your number wasn't reachable. I wanted us to hang out," Zach said and turned to spare Bella a glance. 

"You did?" Bella asked with a frown as she tried to remember if her phone had been off. Ah! She remembered putting it on airplane mode when she had thought Dan was going to call her line. 

"Yeah. What were you up to? Or were you out with your girlfriend?" Zach asked curiously. 

"Yeah. You know, since I started working, I haven't really had time to be with her, so I spent the time with her," Bella lied, making Dan snort. Good thing he knew something Zach didn't know, at least.
