Convenient Lie

“You’re the one who is misunderstanding things. You see, Karina is my girlfriend now. She’s no longer involved with your husband. I can personally guarantee that,” Ace stated as his arm tightened around my shoulders.

What did he just say?!

Elizabeth’s eyes widened even further as she gasped and covered her open mouth with her hand. Her eyes travelled from Ace to me and then back to Ace again. It was clear that she was struggling to believe that we were dating.

Well, I didn’t blame here. We’re not really dating and I’m not really his girlfriend. I had no idea why Ace said that, but it did seem to work in throwing her completely off her game.

“If you don’t have any more questions, then I guess we’re done here. Karina and I have a dinner date together, so if you don’t mind, we’ll excuse ourselves now. Have a good evening,” Ace said as his arms dropped to circle my waist.

With a slight push, he began leading me away with him.

“Wait!” Elizabeth called out quite loudly from behind us.
