Cheat With My Boyfriend Best Friend

Eight Million

Everyone’s attention moved on to the next press- ing matter.

Leslie’s statement did more damage than she’d expected. What she assumed was a ‘harmless statement’ ended up mak- ing most of the players put a finger down.

“Who even is she?!” Jack’s question put everyone’s eyes on me. “An actor? A supermodel?”

With a frown, Jack started listing obscure celebrities:

“Jennifer Swiss?”

“No.”

“Susan Butler?”

“No.”
