Why the hell a to him? What difference does it make if he kno famous I a, but the only n," he says with a shrug

"I wish azines He subscribed to azines than any woazine editor he could find"

"All my ex cared about was e mistakes in our lives," Matt confides

Wait, ex? Is he talking about Melanie or another ex? According to what Melanie told Kennedy, they’re still hs deeply and takes a sip of his Jack and Coke "Separated Honestly, we probably should have never even gotten e and all of my friends tried to warn me about her She didn’t show her true colors to h"

And now the investigator inabout her Purely for business purposes, of course It has nothing to do with the fact that he’s easy on the eyes

"What kind of true colors are we talking here? Crazy possessive feet hih "No, definitely not a man I’m pretty sure she onlyto try and take my father’s company and there’s no way I can let that happen"

I take a sip of my wine so I’ood I’s "And to add more toon me All I need is proof so I can end this bullshit charade of hers and make sure the company stays in the family"

MyThis could be how he gets chicks--by laying it on thick and playing the "woe istells me that’s not the case His voice immediately takes on a tone of sadness when he talks about his father’s co the truth

"You think your wife is cheating on you?" I whisper

This is too weird Even foryou this I barely know you and I feel like a jackass for unloading all of this on you right now You’re a really easy person to talk to"

He feels like a jackass? I feel like a jackass I should just tell hiht now that his wife hired , but I can’t I can’t do anything until I know for sure

"We haven’t been happy for a really long time Fuck We were probably never really happy A friend of uess I was just hoping to finally have a solid reason for not wanting to be married to her," he admits

Jesus, the two of us could be aout Andy had a ga problem had been just the catalyst I needed to kick his ass to the curb

"What are you going to do if you find out it’s true and she’s really cheating on you?" I ask

"If I have proof that she’s been unfaithful, I can threaten to out her to her family as a cheater She’ll leave the company alone so they never know her perfect character is tarnished"

Goddammit all to hell! I believe hiood

"I’ I could do"

Tell him the truth! Tell him his wife hired you and you feel awful and want to help hie mistake, I watch as Matt’s eyes widen as he stares across the bar

"Oh, shit She’s here," Matt says under his breath, ducking his head to hide behind h the doorway on the arot to be twice her age

"She’s heading this way Matt, she’s totally going to see you Shit! Hide under the bar!"

Matt tries turning sideways to quickly dive under the bar, but his elbow sla wine down the front of h rabs a pile of napkins and starts blotting at ht in lances over his shoulder distractedly to see where Melanie is He turns back and notices the shocked expression oncasually onit

I tear ainst my chest and see that Melanie and her beefcake are a few feet away at this point and heading right toward us If she looks away froht at Matt There’s not even any tiht into her Suddenly, the tables have turned and I’m on Matt’s side I want him to catch her in the act I want him to be vindicated so he can !"

Before all of the words finish leaving my mouth, I feel Matt’s arms wrap around my waist and I’s His mouth is onI wrap my arms around his neck and pull him closer
