The Wrong Woman

Chapter 14

Nathan left the room and walked down the corridor before he reached his study. He turned on the lights and called Sally.

He had come all the way here so that he wouldn’t disturb Suzanne, who was already fast asleep.

When the call connected, Sally’s saccharine voice sounded at once. “Nate, why aren’t you here yet? I’m scared!”

Nathan’s face turned dark. He frowned as he replied sternly, “Sally, you can’t talk badly about other people behind their backs like this. Everyone’s past should always be respected.”

Sally burst into tears at once. “Nate, you’ve slept with her, haven’t you? I heard that she has STDs. Do you think you might have contracted it from her?”

Had Sally been someone else, Nathan would have lost his temper by now. But she was Sally Hoffis, the woman he’d had a crush on for more than a decade.

Nathan just remained calm and explained patiently once more. “Sally, whether I sleep with her or not has nothing to do with love.
