The Ex and Her Riches novel (Gwendolyn and Maverick)

It was time to get off work again.

Whitney hesitated whether to head to the underground parking lot.

When I left this morning, Charles refused to join me. I don’t think he’ll pick me up after work, right? But if I don’t go to the underground parking lot and he really did come to drive me home, he’ll be mad when he doesn’t see me. We only argued once yesterday, but the atmosphere between us is really suffocating. There are still eleven months until the end of the contract, and we’ll likely meet each other every day. I can’t keep avoiding him.

After some deliberation, Whitney decided to text him, asking him if he was coming, and then apologize to him.

Charles and I are only a married couple by contract, so I was wrong to overstep my boundary and ask about his past. More than that, I shouldn’t have brought up the matters between him and Gwendolyn.

She tapped on the WhatsApp icon on her phone and immediately saw Charles’ name at the top of the screen.

Just as she was ready to type her message, Lana suddenly came over from the side.

Whitney quickly turned off her phone so Lana wouldn’t see anything.

“Tch, what’s there to hide? Were you texting Isaac? Is it because you want him to pick you up after work? What car does he drive?”

Whitney was a little offended. “I don’t know what car Isaac drives, and I don’t have a relationship with him. But I doubt you’ll believe me, so I won’t repeat myself again in the future.”

Lana rolled her eyes and sashayed back to her desk.

Gripping her phone, Whitney became hesitant to text Charles again even though she had made up her mind earlier.

At that moment, her superior suddenly approached her. “Come to my office, Whitney. I have a task for you tomorrow.”

“Sure.” She put away her phone and followed her superior into the office.
