My Husband Brought Another Woman, I Chose His Best Friend Chapter 166
Apparently, we were going to need a longer meeting.Patricia looked between us for another second, as though waiting for one of us to explain the obvious thing she had somehow walked into without the benefit of the backstory.I looked down at the form.The blank beside Start Date of Relationship seemed unnecessarily large."I don't think this is going to be as simple as putting down a date," I said.Patricia leaned back in her chair."That's usually what dates are for."Liam made a quiet sound beside me that might have been a laugh.I looked at him."Don't.""I didn't say anything.""You were about to."He looked almost innocent.Patricia watched the exchange with the particular expression of someone who had spent enough time around executives to know when a meeting had stopped being entirely about business."All right," she said. "Let's take a step back."She pulled the form toward herself."We don't need the entire history. HR isn't asking for an essay.""That's good," Liam said.Pa

I knew Liam was going to do something about it before he said he was going to do something about it.That was the problem with knowing someone long enough. Eventually, you stopped listening only to what they said and started noticing everything they didn't.The way he'd gone quiet after I told him what I'd overheard. The precision with which he'd set his glass down. The phone already in his hand before I'd finished explaining that I didn't know who the employees were.By morning, I was fairly certain he'd either found them or had someone find them for him.I caught him in the kitchen before he left for work."You're not firing anyone."He looked up from his coffee."I didn't say I was.""You didn't have to."Something almost amused moved across his face. "Good morning to you too.""Liam."He sighed, setting the cup down."I wasn't going to fire them.""What were you going to do?""I was going to find out what happened.""They said something stupid in a break room.""They accused you o

Patricia had the Larkspur situation quietly contained within two days, a few calls, some careful paperwork, the kind of clean, unglamorous fix that never made headlines precisely because it was handled before it could, the sort of quiet efficiency that came standard with a legal team billing more per hour than most people made in a week. It should have made things easier at the office. Instead, the stress of it seemed to have worn down some careful internal wall Liam and I had both been maintaining without ever discussing it out loud.I noticed it first in the hallway outside the executive conference room, his hand at the small of my back a beat longer than strictly necessary as he steered me toward the elevator, nothing dramatic, just present in a way it usually wasn't with other people around.I noticed it again in a meeting two days later, when he made a dry comment about a vendor's proposal, something only I would have understood as a callback to a joke from months ago, and caught

"There's something in it neither of you knows about yet."Daniel's voice hung in the room, tinny through the phone's speaker, and for a long moment neither of us moved to fill the silence after it, the warmth of ten minutes ago already a different climate entirely."What are you talking about, Daniel?" Liam finally said, his voice level, careful, the particular controlled calm I recognised now as the one he used when he hadn't yet decided how much to reveal he already suspected."The divorce filing," Daniel said. "There's a clause about the Larkspur property, the vacation place my parents technically still hold title on. It was supposed to get sorted in the settlement. It never fully was. It's just been sitting there, unfinished paperwork, for years.""Why does that matter now?" I asked."Because your company's doing a routine audit," Daniel said, and I could hear him address that directly to Liam. "Someone flagged an old joint account tied to the property that never got closed out pr

Zoe's question followed me around for days, small and persistent, showing up in odd moments, standing in line for coffee, halfway through a meeting, the particular way a child's blunt honesty tends to outlast an adult's practiced deflection.I hadn't answered it directly that Saturday. I'd laughed it off, said something about not rushing things, and Amanda had let me off the hook with an easy smile that told me she'd known exactly what she was doing when she let her daughter ask it for her.But I noticed things differently after that, small shifts I might have overlooked before, the relationship quietly settling into something neither of us was bracing for the end of anymore. It wasn't a single moment. It was a dozen small ones, stacked close enough together that I only noticed the pattern once I stopped to look for it.I found the first real evidence of it on a Tuesday, opening the bottom drawer of the bathroom vanity to grab a hair tie and finding it entirely cleared out, empty, wai

Amanda showed up Saturday afternoon with her daughter, Zoe, in tow, a bag of snacks, and the specific overprepared energy of someone who'd rehearsed a conversation in her car before coming up."The doorman already knows Zoe by name," Amanda said, setting her bag down in the entryway, glancing around the apartment the way she always did, half-admiring, half-amused by the sheer scale of it. "He gave her a chocolate from behind the desk. I think your boyfriend's building is spoiling my child.""He does that for all the kids in the building," I said. "Apparently it's a whole thing. Liam complained about the chocolate budget line item once, completely seriously, in front of Patricia.""Only a billionaire complains about a chocolate budget," Amanda said, settling onto the couch while Zoe wandered toward the window, already absorbed in the view of the park below, small hands pressed to the glass."He complains about the strangest things, honestly," I said, pouring her coffee from the machine

The knock came without warning, followed immediately by Amy pushing the door open like she owned the place. Ralph trailed behind her, coffee in hand, already looking like he had something to say.“Tell me you’re not buried in spreadsheets again,” Amy said, walking in without waiting for an answer.

By the time I got home, the quiet felt louder than the party.The hallway was dim, the kind of soft lighting that usually made everything feel calm, but tonight it just made the silence heavier. I shifted my bag on my shoulder, digging through it for my keys as I reached my door, my fingers brushin

I didn’t go back into the party.I couldn’t.The music still pulsed faintly through the walls as I pushed open the stairwell door, the heavy metal slamming shut behind me with a dull echo that felt louder than it should have. The sudden quiet wrapped around me, thick and suffocating, broken only by

“Come in,” his voice came from inside, steady, like he had expected me.Of course, he had.I pushed the door open and stepped in without hesitation, closing it behind me with a soft click. He was at his desk, sleeves rolled just enough to show his wrists, his posture relaxed but focused, like he
