Cheat With My Boyfriend Best Friend

Finally, I realized how celebrity magazine reporters felt when they dug up juicy gossip. As soon as those words left his lips, I felt energized and attentive

“You mean like you’ve given up on a crush? Or had a bad break up?” My tone was cautious, but in all actuality, I felt more empowered than ever. I was the reporter holding a mic in his face.

Hell, I felt like I could’ve slapped him if I wanted to, no holds barred.

“Eh… a bit of a forbidden love.” Aaron smiled a little disappointedly.

It was the first time I saw him like that. He looked regretful-defeated, for once. In that one expression, he opened a window to his bitterness, pain, and self-deprecation.

This was big! It was something I could stay up with Cinder talking about! Aaron was in love! This lined up with him rejecting Cinder on their date. I couldn’t believe it! What kind of woman could win the heart of a man like Aaron?!

If a gorgeous woman with a stellar personality like Cinder wasn’t worth Aaron’s time, his secret sweetheart must’ve been real royalty. Even then, a princess probably wouldn’t be able to reel him in.

Maybe she was an alien.

But hell, being an investor like Aaron, his forbidden love could be Bitcoin. Or maybe Bitcoin was the bad breakup. The ex who’d wronged him.

I still had questions.

“So then-”

“Okay! Three minutes left. The interview’s over. Time to go.” Aaron dodged my interrogation and walked around the car to open the door for me.

I watched him stretch out his hand, waiting politely for mine. I placed my fingers gently on his palm, and under his silent leadership, I took his arm.

The venue was a modern-style building with smooth, minimalist architecture that gave a humble yet confident air. At the entrance, an endless stream of celebrities flooded inside while waving their invitations. I held Aaron’s arm a little tighter, suddenly nervous.
