CHAPTER THIRTY FOUR: MY BOSS IS AN ASS

THE NEXT DAY

“Yes, it’s important we go over the essential documents together,” I said into the phone, balancing it between my ear and shoulder while scrolling through the files I’d already organized on my computer. “I’ve also put together the tailored strategy and goals we look forward to working on with you. Plus, there’s a series proposal where we’re considering you for the lead role.”

“Talk about efficiency.” I could hear Sage sink into a couch on the other end, his voice relaxed. “Although I’ll be a little tied up with things. What do you say we meet at a café after your work hours?”

I pressed my lips into a thin line. Work hours were sacred. I lived for that moment I could dash home, take a sweet king-sized shower, eat a proper dinner, and crash into bed like it was a long-lost lover.

But then again, I’d signed up for this. Taking on a talent manager role alongside my regular Production Assistant duties was more work than I’d barg

  • My Ex Cheated, So I Got Hotter!   Ch 036: Her Attacker Vs Her Savior

    CHAPTER THIRTY SIX: HER ATTACKER VS HER SAVIORCAMILLE:———“You’re actually going over to his place for that appointment?” I asked into the phone, steering the wheel sharply as I curved down the road toward Zoey’s apartment.“Yes.” Her sigh floated through the line, mixed with the rush of wind and the faint hum of traffic. She was in a car. “He insisted.”My stomach dropped like a stone. I puckered my lips in a pout she couldn’t even see, then shot a glance at the two giant bags of popcorn sitting loyally in my passenger seat. “And what about our Netflix-and-chill movie night?”Zoey and I had been plotting this all week—one rare evening when my hospital shift wouldn’t get in the way. The plan was simple: movies, popcorn, gossip, and me passing out early enough to wake up for my morning shift. I’d even stopped by a street cart, all giddy, to snag the popcorn. And now? This little betrayal. Okay, not betrayal—work comes first, I know. But still.“I’m sorry, Camille. We can reschedule…

  • My Ex Cheated, So I Got Hotter!   Ch 035: An Appointment with Sage

    CHAPTER THIRTY FIVE: AN APPOINTMENT WITH SAGEZOEY———As I held Chuck’s suspicious stare, I felt this strong urge to tell him everything. How I’d screwed his best friend more than once, and in ways that would burn holes in his imagination. I craved that look on his face when the truth landed.Ah! I would frame the look on his stupid, interfering face and hang it on my freaking wall. But Christian must have read my mind because he cut in first. “What Miss Anderson was trying to say,” he said, tone calm and controlled. “is that we hooked up a couple of times. In her words, I believe she meant we hung out a few times.” His expression was unreadable as he looked Chuck dead in the eye.He turned to me. “Right, Miss Anderson?”I froze for a beat, weighing my options. The reckless side of me still wanted to burn it all down, but the logical side knew better. If I let the truth slip, it would be headline news by morning. Chuck and Daisy would run to the press, everyone would know I was s

  • My Ex Cheated, So I Got Hotter!   Ch 033: New Friend

    CHAPTER THIRTY THREE: NEW FRIENDZOEY———I just stood there, rooted to the spot like a dumb church rat, watching Scarlett carefully wipe the sticky mess off Camille’s face. Once she was done, she pressed her lips into that soft, apologetic smile again.“I apologize once again,” she said. The way her voice floated out—gentle, careful, like a flower swaying in the wind—made my stomach knot with something ugly. Jealousy, maybe. I couldn’t, for the life of me, figure out how Christian had ended things with a woman like this. This perfect, perfect, sweet woman. “I’ve not been around for a while,” she continued. “So the kids seemed to have picked up some bad behaviors.”“That’s fine.” Camille finally spoke, her voice tight as a wire. The way her neck stiffened, I could tell she was wrestling with the urge to grab those girls by their braids and knock some manners into them. Camille wasn’t as forgiving as I was l. Once, when some neighborhood kids pelted her car with pebbles, she’d chase

    CHAPTER THIRTY TWO: TWO LITTLE DEMONSZOEY———After work the next day, Camille swung by to pick me up from the production house and we drove straight to Walmart for a grocery run. Since she had the day off from the hospital, she figured we might as well restock both her place and mine.We pushed our baskets down the aisles, tossing in the usual essentials, while I gave her the full update on Sage, Daisy, and Chuck from yesterday.“You should’ve seen Daisy’s face when he insisted he wanted me instead of her,” I said, grinning as I tiptoed to grab some cleaning spray off the top shelf. “She looked like she was on the verge of tears. For a split second, I almost felt bad for her.”Camille crouched to grab sponges, straightened up, and dropped them in her basket. “God, I regret missing that. I would’ve laughed so hard. The desperate witch got what she deserved.”We both cracked up, still giggling as we strolled into the kids’ section for juice boxes.“I’m still trying to figure out why t

    CHAPTER THIRTY ONE: WHEN THE DEVIL CALLS THE SHOTSCHRISTIAN———“What the hell are you doing here?” My voice was calm, but I made sure it carried the edge of someone who wasn’t expecting her. I stepped into my bedroom, shut the door, and stripped off my suit jacket.“That’s a stupid question, Chris.” Her laugh was soft. The bed creaked as she rose, and a heartbeat later her arms slid around me from behind. Her breasts pressed deliberately into my back. “Don’t tell me you’re not happy to see me.”I kept my face blank, my movements steady, but my jaw tightened. I loosened my tie, fingers unfastening my shirt buttons one by one.“The only reason you still have access to my house is the kids, Scarlett. You see them during the day, you leave before dark. Or they visit you at your place.” My tone sharpened. “And about the production house—set a meeting at the studio or send me an email. You don’t need to show up here, especially at this hour.”“Hmm.” She hummed like I hadn’t said a word.
