“Yeah. Can we speak in private?” Bella's eyes remained calm. She did not raise her voice, but it was audible.
Justin agreed without hesitation. “Sure.” Amidst the onlookers’ gazes, the two big shots left the banquet hall.
Behind them were only murmurs of astonishment, echoing one af another.

Justin felt a twist in his heart, his eyes fuming with anger as he pressed Bella firmly against the tree trunk, his arm supporting him as he leaned in. He glared down at her with intense, dark eyes that were swirling with turbulent emotions.
Bella's throat felt dry, and her lips were tightly pressed together.
She could even feel the subtle tremors of Justin's muscles beneath his dark suit, but she dared not meet his gaze.
