In Love, Never Say Never

Argh! I guess I can’t out-talk him, huh?

“Thanks for the ride home!” I decided to keep my mouth shut and boarded the car as instructed.

He nodded and responded with a poker face.

When we were about to reach the villa, I couldn’t suppress the urge to ask him about the thing that had been bothering me. “Joseph, where’s your girlfriend?”

“I don’t have one, Mrs. Fuller!”

I nodded and remarked, “Well, I thought so. Otherwise, your girlfriend will have a hard time dealing with you.”

He took a peek at me for a few seconds before turning around to focus on the road. “Actually, I’m married.”

I was completely speechless and decided to wrap up our conversation because I was pretty sure I would get increasingly infuriated if I were to go on.

Once we were back in the villa, I got out of the car as soon as possible and strode my way into the living room.

I changed into a pair of indoor sandals in the foyer and noticed the light in the living room was switched on. There was a man in the living room, enjoying his cup of tea as he indulged himself in reading a book.

“A**hole!” I blurted out the things I had in my mind almost instantly.

He frowned and stared at me silently, but I ignored him and bounced my way up the stairs without any hesitation.
