“What are you talking about? It’s not all your fault if a marriage doesn’t work out. Don’t me yourself,” Nathan said gently, thinking I was still upset
about the divorce
“Yeah, you’re right. I didn’t do anything wrong.” Treplied, suddenly feeling lighter, Sleepiness crept in, so I mumbled, “I’m gonna sleep now.”
“Go ahead and sleep,” Nathan whispered.
Morning sunlight streamed through the beige floor to ceiling windows. It was a little too bright as it hit the bed. I woke up groggy, but after all that exhaustion, I really did sleep well, and I didn’t dream at all.
Nathan was already gone. I went to the bathroom, washed up, changed into a long, airy dress, and wandered out of the room, taking my time.
My whole outlook had changed. I wasn’t worried anymore about whether a man was still by my side or if he was still in the room with me.
There was no sign of Nathan in the living room, either. I guessed he’d gone downstairs to grab breakfast.
A few minutester, he walked in with breakfast in hand just as I expected.
“You’re awake. I was nning to make you breakfast, but your fridge was totally empty, so I went out with your keys to buy some,” Nathan said, slipping
off his shoes as he came in.
I stretched outzily on the couch and said with a smile, “Look at you, such good husband material.”
Nathan gave me that soft, doting look. “All it takes is breakfast to win you over? Guess I don’t have to try too hard to make you happy.”
I raised an eyebrow, smiling. “You’re like a hidden gem, always surprising me with something new. That’s all it takes to make me happy, and honestly.
being happy is pretty simple.”
Nathan’s face lit up at my praise, and he gave my forehead a yful tap. “Come on. Get up and have some breakfast. I’ve got an important meetingter, <b>so </b>I’ll have to head out. What about you? Got any ns for today?”
“I’ll probably go check on things at the hotel,” I replied, I couldn’t afford to ck off anymore, and I had to take work seriously.
Nathan nodded. “Perfect. I’m heading that way anyway. I’ll drop you off.”
to make sure Nathan could get to his meeting on time, I didn’t waste anymore time lounging around. I quickly changed, grabbed breakfast, and hopped into his car to head to the hotel
<b>When </b>I got out of the car, Nathan said, “I’ve got a lunch meeting hereter. Do you have any ns? Want to join us?”
<b>My </b>heart skipped a beat. I wondered if he was going to introduce me to his business partners.
“No, maybe <b>next </b>time I replied Even though he seemed so sincere, I wasn’t ready for people to know about me seeing someone new so soon yet.
Nathan looked a bit disappointed but respected ghy choice “Alright, nest time then. I’ll still be here for lunch, so let me know if you need anything”
“Alright, I’ll knock 20% off for you,” I said with #pin “And I’ll even throw in two bottles of good wine for free.”
Hearing my words, Nathan burst outughing Deal, Ms Murphy You better not go back on your word
“I won’t,” I said, getting out of the car and shutting the door befund me. Then I headed straight into the hotel lobby
As I walked in, my assistant rushed over, looking stressed “Ms. Murphy, Mr. Hob just booked our biggest conference room for a meetingter. We’re scrambling to get everything ready”
“Alright, make sure to test all the equipment in the room. We can’t afford to make any mistakes,” I said, giving her a quick reminder.
Just then, a line of business cars pulled up outside the hotel, one of which was an Alfa Romeo, Jared’s personal ride.
The door opened, and Jared stepped out with a few top executives. They chatted as they made their way inside.
A few of the executives spotted me in the lobby and came over to greet me. “Mrs. Hob…
But Jared didn’t even look my way. He kept his head down and headed straight for the elevator, looking pretty sour
I guessed he was jealous, probably thinking about how I had spent a happy time with another manst night.
