The Cuckolded Wife
Setting my cup down, I said, "I'm sure Ms. Sherwood must've revealed some of my intentions to you. Although nothing is spelled out yet, you're a smart man, Mr. Lawson. I'm sure you know what I want."

Then, with a mocking chuckle, he continued, "I guess rumors will always be rumors—empty words without any evidence."
I placed the information I brought with me on the table, but Hugo eyed me suspiciously and didn't move. I was in no rush, however.
In the end, Hugo took the document. The more he read it, the brighter the gleam in his eyes became.
