My Bossy CEO Husband

‘‘What? How is that possible?” Wendy shook her head violently.

"What are you thinking about? How could it be possible! I've had no feelings for him for ages."

"Then why did you praise him to the hilt?"

Wendy rolled her eyes and said, "Because I had completely let it go, so in hindsight I can talk about it objectively."

Ryan was stunned momentarily then regained his calm.

He poured another glass of wine for her then asked softly, "Since he was such a wonderful man, why did you break up with him then?"

Wendy cupped her chin and said, "Well, it has something to do with what happened a long time ago.My memory is failing me.Hmm, initially we loved each other to death.When we started dating, I was just a freshman and he was a senior college student.He was just one year away from graduating.At that time, he was busy with his internship but he always made time to meet me at school.We were a regular couple who watched movies and went out for dinner together.After our dates, he would drop me back at school.At that time, I felt like I was the happiest and luckiest girl alive.Hmmm.In fact, I was so swept away by this infatuation that I wanted to grow up quickly so that I could marry him."

‘What?’ Ryan's mood was spoilt by these words.

"We spent one entire year blissfully in love.Then Eris got wind that I was in love and thereafter she would always hang out with us.She had never heard the old adage that two's company and three's a crowd.

Eris had always mistreated Reese and me in the past.Suddenly she became sweeter than honey.I was so naive at that time.Seriously, I thought she had changed for the better."

Ryan already had a vague idea as to how things developed thereafter before Wendy could explain further.

"After she joined us, Brian...By the way, my  ex- boyfriend's name is Brian Oliver.Eh...What a coincidence.Like you, his surname is also Oliver."

‘Yes, it's a real co-incidence! After all he is my nephew!’ Depressed, Ryan took a sip of wine with a sigh.

"Cheers!" Wendy clinked glasses with him and took another two gulps.

"Slow down..."

"Don't be so miserly.It won't make you poor." Ryan was stunned.

"Hmm, what did I just say? Oh, I remember.I was telling you about the change of Eris's attitude towards me.At that time, I was so blind and ignorant that I didn't notice that she had a crush on Brian.Since then, she accompanied us to the movies.Brian sat in the middle with the two of us on either side of him.Back then, I didn't suspect a thing."

"Oh dear! At first, Brian was annoyed by her intrusion and argued with me about it a few times.I was daft enough to even defend Eris.Gradually, we had less contact and went out less frequently.Earlier we used to call each other every night without fail, but then our calls reduced to a few times a week.Later our relationship deteriorated even further where we only spoke to each other once a week on the phone."

Obviously, Eris had stolen her boyfriend.
