NovelEnglishHonestly, I'd completely forgotten about Chloe attempting to runover with her car this morning after the
incident with Korbin, the call with Alexander's mother, and then accidentally stabbing my boss with a needle.
What has my life turned into if the fact that my ex-husband’s mistress trying to killhad been driven from my
mind because the rest of my day had been even crazier?
“You okay, Olivia?” Ava asked tentatively when | didn’t answer her question. “Do you want to grab dinner and
talk about what happened?”
| rubbed my temples. “I wish | could,” | replied. “I actually have to work late tonight. Rain check?”
| didn’t want to explain to my friend that | had to be Alexander's dating therapist. That was too embarrassing to
admit that role was actually a part of my job. What made it even worse was the only reason that Alexander
wantedto calong was because he was rebelling against his parents for setting him up even though he
was a grown

“Definitely,” Ava replied.
After we hung up, | sent a few more emails, then noticed that it was already six-thirty in the evening. My

social media profiles, she likes long walks on the beach, a few drinks, and sunsets. She seems...fascinating.” My
voice dropped with sarcasm. “I bet you two will have a happy marriage. You won't get bored of her at all.”
Alexander frowned, and pleasure shot down my spine when | realized | might be getting under his skin, too.
Good.
It was only fair.
But then a smile bloomed across his face, and his eyes danced mischievously.
Uh-oh.
“It’s funny that you're so interested in my date,” he taunted. “I wonder why that is.”
| resisted the urge to roll my eyes because | didn’t want him to know that | couldn’t think of a comeback.
I spun on my heel and gathered my things as | waited for him to be ready to go.

It tookhalf of a second longer than it should to realize that he had been faking it.
