Chapter 35

Lewis said casually, “I work at Hartman Group, but it’s mostly just running errands. I’m nowhere near Mr. Hartman’s level”

“So, you’re in logistics?” Lola asked.

“Yeah, something like that,” Lewis said with a nod.

“Geeze, even the logistics guys at Hartman Group are so tall and handsome. What a competitive field,” Lola muttered under her breath. “Do you know more like you? You know, tall, good–looking, and well–built? Maybe we could all get together for a drink sometime.”

Doris was afraid that Lola’s “flirt mode” would make things awkward for Lewis, so she quickly interrupted, “Aren’t you supposed to drop off the clothes? Hurry up, don’t keep him waiting.”

“Right, I’ll excuse myself,” Lewis said. He glanced at Doris and added, “Take care of yourself, and be sure to head home early after shopping. I’ll see you later.”

“Got it,” Doris replied. With that, she tugged Lola towards the women’s store they’d just come from.

Lola sighed dramatically while staring at her, “Hey, are we still best friends? I just wanted your husband to introduce me to a good–looking guy. It’s not like I’m after your man, okay?

“Why you gotta be so stingy? It’s been forever since I had a boyfriend. You got married, and I really want a new relationship.”

“Don’t act like you’re drunk,” Doris shot back, cutting straight to the point. “You just broke up with your ex a month ago, okay?

“When you dumped him, he almost cried his eyes out. He even begged you to stay and said he’d change to be the way you like. But you told him straight–up that you were over it and he couldn’t change. That’s basically the textbook definition of a playgirl.

“You never took those guys seriously. If Lewis introduced you to one of his colleagues and you got bored, what would you do? Kick him to the curb? Imagine how awkward it will be when Lewis sees his colleague.

“Come on, Lola, you can play your games with whoever, but don’t drag Lewis into it.”

“Tsk, didn’t know you were that protective after just getting married,” Lola teased, but she let it slide. “But seriously, Doris, your husband is seriously hot. I bet he makes you enjoy a lot, huh?”

Doris’s face went bright red, as if someone had just put her in a pot of hot water. “We’re still not that close. And you told me to test him and figure out if he has any character issues, remember?”

“Did I say that?” Lola turned to look at Doris, her eyebrows raising in confusion.
