Chapter 410
"Keira, are you with Jace right now? Could you ask him to take my call?" Tanya's voice cut through the silence in
the room.
You could practically hear everyone gasp, their eyes bouncing between me, the phone, and Jace.
| didn't care what they were thinking, and | definitely wasn't looking at Jace. Keeping my cool, | replied, "Did you
call the wrong number? Why are you askingto chase down your boyfriend?" The room was so quiet, it felt
like thad frozen.
"He's not answering my calls," Tanya's voice was all shaky and pathetic.
| smirked. "Oh, and you think he'll answer just because | tell him to?"
Before she could respond, Jace stormed over, snatched the phone out of my hand, and ended the call.
I glanced up at his furious face, my amusement barely hidden. "Wow, Mr. Johnston, doing that's just gonna make
her think I'm the one keeping you from talking to her."
Without a word, he grabbed my wrist and started draggingtoward the door.
"Jace," Steve stood up, his voice full of concern.
"Move!" Jace snapped, shoving Steve aside.
Steve, worried Jace might lose it, tried to follow, but someone held him back. "Dude, don't get in the middle of

Jace draggedout of the room, but | yanked my arm free. "Why don't you handle your own problems instead
of pullinginto it? | don't need to be cleaning up your mess."
His face twisted in anger. "Aren't you dating someone? So why are you still all buddy-buddy with other guys?"
| blinked, caught off guard. | thought he was mad aboutputting Tanya's call on speaker, but he was grilling
Then it hit me-he wasn't mad about Tanya at all. He was jealous. Of Steve. Seriously?
Still stuck on that old idea that something went down between Steve and me
So that's what had him all worked up tonight.
| didn't bother figuring out if it was jealousy or just possessiveness. | shot him a sarcastic smile. "Mr. Johnston, do
you really think you get to question who hang out with?" "Were you and Steve a thing while we were still
together?"
Wow. His question just showed how petty and messed up his thoughts really were.
| stared at him, disgusted. "Do you think everyone's as shameless as you?"
His face paled, but he didn't blow up like | expected. Instead, he looked down. "I know | messed up. If

Walt-what?
I blinked, confused.
Just then, the elevator doors opened. | stepped inside, but Jace's voice stopped me. "I'll take you home."
"No thanks," | said flatly, stepping in without looking back.
He didn't argue, just followedin.

paused. "Sidekick."
Just like how people used to think | was his sidekick.
Jace clenched his jaw, but didn't say anything.
| thought about how Tanya had
