Chapter 8
“Ha! How would you know if I hadn't had the chance? If I ever got the opportunity to sleep with him, I'd have his baby and be the next Mrs. Luther.”
“Fine, fine. I'll call you Mrs. Luther, then. Happy?”
Meanwhile, the subject of their scandalous conversation had an angry grimace on the man's face.
My goodness, is this how women talk about me in public? Argh! Can they be any more disgusting?
Perhaps it was his piercing gaze, but it didn't take long before the two ladies instinctively turned toward him.
Unsurprisingly, one glance was all it took for them to be captivated by Artemis' darkly handsome face.
“Wow, Carol, that man's so handsome. Since when did we have such a good-looker move into the condominium?”
The young lady named Carol hastily tugged at her friend's sleeve and whispered, “Hey, Lily, don't you find him familiar?”
Upon hearing that, Lily stole a few coy glances at Artemis. “Now that you've mentioned it, I must say he does look familiar. It feels like I've seen him somewhere before...”
“I-I think he's Artemis Luther,” Carol mumbled after clearing her throat. “Didn't you just say you want to have his child and become Mrs. Luther?”
Lily froze in her tracks as her eyes widened. “A-Artemis... W-What's he doing here?”
“Have you forgotten about the single mother living in unit 501? She has a son who's about seven years old...”
Soon, the realization hit Lily.
Oh, my goodness. The truth is out!
