Countdown to My Divorce
Chapter 18
Suddenly, the office door opened. Samantha limped in, her steps slow and dramatic. Her eyes were red as she walked up to Rachel. Her voice was soft and muffled, like she was trying not to cry.
Rachel glanced at William, then back at Samantha. Her throat felt dry.
William quickly stepped forward and moved Samantha out from between them.
“Rachel didn’t mean it like that. We were just talking about something else. It got a little loud, that’s all,” he said.
But Samantha didn’t budge and stood stubbornly in front of Rachel Her body trembled as she signed with her hands, as if she were desperately trying to convey her meaning. The sight was both comical and heartbreakingly earnest.
“Rachel, I really didn’t mean anything bad,” Samantha said. “If I made you uncomfortable, I’ll explain everything to the team right now.”
She reached for the door, ready to go out.
“There’s no need for that, Ms. Judd,” Rachel said calmly.
Samantha paused, hand still on the door.
“So… you’re really not mad at me?” she asked in that soft, fragile voice, like one wrong word would shatter her completely.
The kind of voice that made everyone feel bad for her… even if she was the one stirring the pot.
