CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTEEN

“Cole!” Adele called when she spotted Cole walking into their office at the conglomerate. When Cole heard her call, he instantly halted on his tracks and turned to face her. A few weeks ago, he would have walked over to her and given her a casual hug and even pecked her cheeks, but after finding out that she was the wife of Jamal King Dominick, his boss, he could even dare to get too close to her.

“Mrs. King.” He called with a smile and Adele frowned in disappointment as she approached him.

“I thought we already had this talk, Cole. Please, don’t address me as Mrs King, it makes me feel very old.” Adele lamented and Cole chuckled, shaking his head.

“You don’t get it, do you? If your husband hears me calling you by your first name, he’s going to have me fired. I love my job.”

“You honestly think Jamal is that petty, don’t you?” Adele asked with a serious look.

"I did not hear you just address my big boss by his first name. I swear I did not hear that.”
