Beyond the Divorce

Chapter 3 Anxiety

“Two days ago? Where?” I asked, feeling a little anxious.

Ivanna noticed my reaction and retorted, “What’s with that look?”

“Where did you see him?” I couldn’t care less about bantering with her and continued pressing for answers.

However, Ivanna’s phone started ringing. She glanced at the screen and hushed me before leaning into her chair and answering the call. After a few sentences, she straightened up, glanced at me, and said, “What?! I’ll be right there!”

Immediately after, she closed her laptop and stuffed it into her bag. “I have to go. Let’s meet up again another time!”

“Wait… You…” I had more questions, but she ignored me and left.

She said she saw Matthew two days ago, but he was supposed to be on his business trip in Canta then. Where did she see him? Was she at Canta for a trip as well?

I shrunk back into the seat silently. I was helpless, but a strange sense of fear filled my heart. The TikTok video kept playing in my mind, but I wasn’t sure if it was Matthew.
