#Chapter 25 – Chole Argues

At least she whispers it. I glance around, but none of my employees seem to have heard her. I shush

Karl smirks. “Chloe.”

Karl nods. “Sure boss.”

I watch him walk away, then turn to Chloe. “Come with me,” I hiss.

She follows me to my office. I turn to face her, not bothering to close the door. I don’t have enough time

to get into this right now, anyway.

“What are you doing here?” I ask. “Are you here for dinner?”

She crosses her arms. “Don’t change the subject. Why is he here? Since when are you guys even

talking?”

I cringe. It dawns on me that I haven’t seen her recently, and she has no idea that Karl’s been hanging

around. I guess Leah never spilled the beans either. Based on the look on her face, I have a lot of

explaining to do.

a little. “He’s just helping out for the time being. He was there when all my employees quit, and he just

wants to make things a little easier for me.”

She doesn’t look very convinced. “He just wants to help,” she repeats, sounding somewhat disgusted.

“Yeah, that sounds like him.”

“I don’t know what you mean.” I can tell by her tone, though, that she doesn’t mean anything good. I

always thought Leah disliked him more, but I guess I was wrong. She took the news that he’s back a lot

better than Chloe currently is.

The sad thing is, Chloe and Karl always got along when we were married. I’ve known Chloe for a long

time, and she’s one of the few friends who stuck with me when I stopped being a Luna. She was never
