Hold My Tear, I’m Getting My Wife Back!

Caught off guard and slightly agitated, she was about to collect her thoughts when her phone pinged with a message. Phillip: "Come over here."

What, having a secret rendezvous right under Alfred's nose?

Tina glanced at the message and promptly flipped her phone screen down on the table.

Another notification sounded.

"Or should I come over to ask?"

Even though Phillip usually appeared so composed, his threats carried a surprisingly domineering tone.

"I'm going to the restroom," Tina said, grabbing her phone and standing up.

Turning the corner, the illuminated signs for the men's and women's restrooms were clearly visible, but there was no sign of Phillip. As she looked around, someone grabbed her wrist and pulled her into a nearby janitor's closet.

The door slammed shut behind them, the cramped space filled with shelves and various cleaning supplies, barely enough room for two people to turn around.

The harsh fluorescent light cast stark shadows on Phillip's face, his expression unreadable.

"Is he your bestie?" he demanded, his tone accusatory.

"Is there a problem with that?" Tina retorted.
