There was absolutely nothing in my kitchen except half a bottle of water, expired yoghurt, and a lemon that looked like it had been through emotional trauma.

Elena stood in front of my open fridge, both hands on her hips, staring into it as if she were personally offended.

“Nina,” she said slowly, “do you eat?”

I walked past her toward the coffee machine. “That’s a very dramatic question.”

“You have condiments and regret in here.”

“I’ve been busy.”

“You have mustard packets from restaurants.”

  • My Husband Brought Another Woman, I Chose His Best Friend    Chapter 81

    There was absolutely nothing in my kitchen except half a bottle of water, expired yoghurt, and a lemon that looked like it had been through emotional trauma.Elena stood in front of my open fridge, both hands on her hips, staring into it as if she were personally offended.“Nina,” she said slowly, “do you eat?”I walked past her toward the coffee machine. “That’s a very dramatic question.”“You have condiments and regret in here.”“I’ve been busy.”“You have mustard packets from restaurants.”“They were free.”She turned to look at me with genuine concern. “You live like a divorced raccoon.”I snorted despite myself and grabbed a mug from the cabinet. “Wow. That felt personal.”“It was meant to.”She shut the fridge and leaned against the counter while I poured coffee into my cup.“So what’s the plan for lunch?” she asked.“I was thinking maybe delivery.”“No.”I looked up. “No?”“No,” she repeated firmly. “You’re taking me to the diner.”I nearly choked on my coffee.“The diner?”“Ye

    I pushed the door open with my shoulder and stepped back into my office, already bracing myself for silence or normalcy or something vaguely close to order.Instead, I stopped mid-step.“Oh my heavens. You’re still here?!”My voice came out sharper than intended, half disbelief, half exhaustion I didn’t bother hiding. Amy flinched slightly. Ralph looked like he wished he could physically merge with his chair.Liam didn’t move.He was standing exactly where I left him, like he had decided the room belonged to him now. His posture was controlled, but there was nothing relaxed about the way he turned fully toward me the second I spoke. His eyes didn’t even flicker away from mine long enough to acknowledge I’d just walked in with sarcasm as my only weapon.Amy slowly closed the folder in front of her. Ralph stopped pretending to scroll on his laptop.Liam spoke first.“Kevin’s presence in this office after hours is inappropriate.”I blinked once, then let out a short breath through my nos

    The silence after Liam’s question felt sharp enough to cut through skin.“Who the hell are you?”Kevin stood still near the conference table, one hand loosely holding his drink while the other rested casually in his pocket. Compared to Liam’s rigid posture, he looked almost relaxed.Almost.I could already see the tension gathering behind his eyes.Amy slowly lowered a fry back into the carton like sudden movements might get her killed.Ralph looked between the two men with the expression of someone watching a car accident unfold in slow motion.Kevin recovered first.He stepped forward slightly and extended his hand toward Liam. “Kevin. Friend of Nina’s. I live nearby.”Liam looked at the offered hand.Then, they deliberately ignored it.The air in the room shifted immediately.Kevin lowered his hand slowly, amusement flickering briefly across his face before disappearing completely.Liam’s gaze moved to me instead. “Why is a stranger wandering around a private office floor after hou

    The office felt completely different after midnight.The bright corporate energy was gone, replaced by dim overhead lights, half-empty coffee cups, and the constant tapping of keyboards echoing through the open floor. Outside the windows, the city had gone dark and glossy from the rain earlier, headlights sliding across wet streets below like streaks of gold.I sat at the conference table inside my office with my laptop open in front of me, rubbing my temple while Amy paced beside the whiteboard.“No,” Ralph said for what had to be the tenth time. “Listen to me carefully. We market the product as emotionally intelligent.”Amy stared at him. “It’s accounting software.”“And?”“And nobody wants emotional accounting, Ralph.”“That sounds like something emotionally unavailable people would say.”I groaned softly and dropped my pen onto the table. “If either of you says the word emotional again, I’m resigning.”Amy snorted while Ralph looked offended. “You people never support genius in re

    The office was quiet at that early hour.Not silent. Just softer.The hum of the air conditioning drifted through the room while the city outside my windows slowly woke up in shades of grey and gold. My heels were abandoned beneath my desk, my legs tucked loosely under my chair while emails sat half-answered across my screen.I wasn’t really working.“Okay, but you judged me for using the wrong lane,” Kevin said through my earbuds, his voice warm with amusement. “You gasped like I almost killed somebody.”“You turned without signalling.”“There was no one there.”“That’s not the point.”Kevin laughed softly. “You sound exactly like somebody’s disappointed wife.”I smiled despite myself, typing random nonsense into an unfinished email to look productive in case someone walked by.“That’s dramatic.”“No, what’s dramatic is the way you grabbed the dashboard.”“You were driving like a criminal.”“I was driving normally.”“You accelerated during a yellow light.”“It was still yellow.”“It

  • My Husband Brought Another Woman, I Chose His Best Friend    Chapter 76

    I opened the door already exhausted.Elena stood in the hallway with loose curls falling over one shoulder and a soft beige coat wrapped around her as if she had stepped out of some expensive European perfume commercial. She smiled immediately when she saw me, warm and effortless in a way I had never figured out how to be naturally.“Hi,” she said gently.Before I could answer, Amanda practically launched herself off the couch behind me.“Oh my God,” she gasped. “You’re the sister.”Elena blinked once before smiling wider. “I’m guessing you’re Amanda.”“The one and only,” Amanda corrected dramatically, already walking toward us with her hand stretched out. “I almost know everything about you.”“That’s concerning,” Elena laughed softly as they shook hands.“I know,” I muttered, stepping aside so Elena could enter. “Come in before she starts interviewing you at the door.”Amanda ignored me completely. “You’re prettier than Nina described.”“I literally never described her.”“Exactly,” A
