Swapping a Broken Heart for a New Start novel Chapter 193

Dennis Williams didn’t give the earlier drama a second thought.

“Don’t worry about it,” he said, his tone easy. “As long as you walk tall and do what’s right, there’s nothing to fear from a little gossip.”

“Of course, sir. I’ll be right back,” the server replied, polite and efficient.
