Chapter 69

My old man looked like crap, and he was puffing away on his cigarettes like a chimney, which was so not his style. He didn’t say a word, just stared at my

mom.

My mom was wiping away tears, her voice full of venom. “He’s messing around with that floozy of a secretary”

Floozy secretary? I picked up a photo and gave it a good look. Yeah, I knew her alright. I remembered bumping into her once when I was out dining with Stella, and my dad was there too.

I remember thinking back then, wasn’t my dad’s secretary a dude? When did he switch to a chick?

But I trusted my dad. I knew he wasn’t a player, so I didn’t tell my mom.

“Mom, chill. You know how dad is. He’s been a good guy for almost 30 years now. Sure, there might have been women who tried to seduce him, but he never let loose. This could all just be a big misunderstanding.” I sat beside my mom, patting her back to comfort her.

“Right, I’ve been framed. My dad finally broke his silence, sounding pretty worked up. “I was wasted, there’s no way anything could’ve happened between us!”

My dad was in a tight spot. He’s always been careful, never messing up. He wouldn’t screw things up when he was about to retire and threw everything he’d worked for down the drain.

Mom started sobbing on my shoulder. My heart was heavy and I was frowning, didn’t lighten up at all.
