Behind the Words || Bette/Nic
@bettecarina
There was one spot of the ballroom that had the best, strongest wifi signal, and Nic kept gravitating to it as he checked in with work. However, it was where a lot of others congregated to gossip and he couldn’t help but overhear a lot of it. Which wasn’t necessarily a bad thing either, as it could produce information. And maybe it was because he too wasn’t Noble, and perhaps no one would think to realize that he knew Lady Somerset well, but when he heard someone whispering about her and her date, Bette, the Dominant had been about to suggest there were far better things to discuss. But that was when he noticed he wasn’t the only other person to have heard this, and his eyes caught Bette in his peripheral, face ashen, as she turned and hurried away. Rather than chastise the group, Nic went after Bette. “Are you okay?”
