Lenny parted his lips, silently chiding himself. Had he just said the wrong thing? He hoped it wouldn't lead to some messy misunderstanding…
…
That afternoon, Khloe asked Lenny to deliver some documents to Michelle.
Just as he stepped out of the garage, he caught sight of a familiar figure exiting the hotel lobby. His heart skipped a beat—it was Angela.
What was she doing here? Could she be looking for Michelle?
Lenny's gaze instinctively sharpened, searching for clues when he spotted Michelle.
"Why are you staring at me like that? Is there something on my face?"
Michelle's eyes flicked up from the documents, catching his gaze. Though she had been annoyed with him before, after what he said in the car… she decided to let it slide, for Nick and Khloe's sake.
"Nothing," Lenny quickly looked away, rubbing the bridge of his nose.
Michelle raised her head. "Alright, I got the documents. You can go now."
"Michelle…"
"What?"
Lenny hesitated, then finally spoke. "Did you just see someone?"
"Someone?" Michelle paused.
"When I arrived, I saw Angela leaving the hotel. She…"
Michelle's eyes glimmered faintly. "Oh, right. She came looking for me."
Lenny tensed. "You met with her?"
"No," Michelle said decisively.
