Divorce to Destiny: Reclaiming My CEO Husband by Anney GW

My CEO 259

259 Hall Pass (Winona)

The morning light is way too bright, stabbing at my eyes as I pull up outside the penthouse complex. Where are my sunglasses?

Fumbling in the center console, I pull them out and slide them on.

My eyes practically breathe a sigh of relief.

I cannot navigate the underground parking lot this morning. My head's still in some weird wine and tequila fog, and my stomach's doing somersaults like I'm on a carnival ride. I rub my temples. Why did I think getting shitfaced would be okay? I give a giggle and a hiccup. But it was fun. Okay, I can do this. I try to shake off the remnants of last night, but one subject is etched into my brain. A hall pass. I can't even focus on driving and parking, let alone life decisions.

As soon as I step out of the elevator doors, Jayden's there with Abby. The noise pierces my skull like a laser. I smile. Trying to act sober I take a couple of steps into the lounge area.

I should have stayed on Lisa's sofa and called Jayden,

"Mommy, why are you wearing your sunglasses inside?" Abby asks.

"No reason, Sweetie." I slide them off and try to look normal.

Anne, who's doing some magical multitasking nearby, shoots me a look. "I'm taking them today. I have other errands to run." She pauses, giving me a sly smile. "How's Lisa feeling?" I blink. "Wait, how do you know I was with Lisa?"

Anne laughs, shaking her head. "Who else would you be with?" She hands Sarah her lunchbox and nudges Bobby towards the elevator. "Anyway, let's go kids, kisses all around." The kids all hug and kiss Jayden and I.

"Mommy! Your breath stinks!"

"Thanks for the heads up, Abby." I groan. Kids always have to hang you out to dry.
