He clenched his fists without even realizing it.
Lemuel put a hand on his shoulder, then looked at Brandon with a dry, knowing smile. "Oh, really? If you know her that well, did you see it coming when she jumped off that roof?"
Brandon's calm facade cracked. A flash of panic and shame crossed his face.
Lemuel watched him walk away, unsteady on his feet, and scoffed. "Big movie star, huh? Save the act for someone who buys it."
Then he turned to Fernando, exasperated. "What, you wanna throw a punch because you can't win with words? You know why you're losing? If I were Abigail, I wouldn't pick you either, not even over him."
This time, Fernando didn't argue back.
His long lashes cast dark shadows under his eyes.
