Buzz, buzz, buzz…

Rebecca’s phone started ringing.

When she saw it was Jessica calling, Rebecca pushed all her questions aside and made up an excuse. “Jessica’s calling. I’ll go take this.”

“Okay,” lan replied, his tone as relaxed as ever.

Rebecca grabbed her phone and hurried out.

The moment the door shut behind her, Ian, barely keeping his cool, whipped out his phone and started angrily spamming Jessica with messages.

[Are you out of your freaking mind?!]

[Did you seriously have to ruin my big moment right now?]

[Just because I forgot to tell you once, you pull this crap on me?!]

Ian was so furious that he was practically pounding the screen with his thumbs, wishing he could smash right through it, find Jessica, and give her a good beating.

Jessica didn’t even bother to check his messages. She was watching a movie, her phone beside her as she chatted with Rebecca. “How have you been lately?”

“It’s been pretty fulfilling,” Rebecca replied.

Rebecca was sitting in her master bedroom. “Yeah, I’m free. I can talk.”

Jessica teased, “Then why do you sound like you’re sneaking around with someone?”

Rebecca gave her a deadpan look. “Have you ever snuck around behind someone’s back?”

“Ms. Jensen, just so you know, normal people would be too guilty to even respond to that,” Jessica teased, easily seeing through her. “But you’re turning it back on me, which always means you’re hiding something.”

Rebecca was at a loss for words.

She awkwardly cleared her throat. “Is it really that obvious?”

Jessica munched on a piece of fruit. “Trust me, it’s written all over your face.”

Rebecca fell silent.
