The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 35 Embrace

Emily and Abigail strutted out of Epicurean Delight, looking pretty pleased with themselves, and decided to hit the stores for a shopping spree.

Out of nowhere, Abigail asked, "Hey, Emily, have you ever used Mrs. Smith's privileges?"

Emily was confused for a sec, so Abigail clarified, "Are you serious? Michael's loaded. If you don't spend his money, Sophia will. Why let her have all the fun? Ask him for some money, and let's go shopping again on his dime." Abigail gave her a knowing look.

Emily thought it made sense but hesitated. "Abigail, we're about to get divorced. Isn't it kinda low to ask him for money now?"

Abigail shrugged, "You're not divorced yet, right? As long as you're still Mrs. Smith, even for a minute, you can use those privileges." Emily thought about how Michael had been driving her nuts lately, making her lose sleep and her appetite. She was seriously ticked off. After a moment, she pulled out her phone and texted Michael.

Emily: [Give me money, I want to go shopping with Abigail.]

When Michael got the text, Sophia was right there with him. She saw him open his phone and suddenly laugh, a laugh she hadn't seen before. Trying to hide her irritation, she asked, "Michael, who is it? What's so funny?" She knew it was probably Emily, but Michael just said, "No one." Emily got the transfer notification and was floored. The amount was huge. She thought, 'Is this really Michael? He actually sent me money?' The amount made her heart race. Abigail peeked and was just as shocked. She said, "What's Michael's deal? He's being super generous. If he likes you, why's he messing around with Sophia? If he doesn't like you, why send so much money? What's his game?"
