Chapter 132

Kate didn’t dare to argue with me at work, and looked grumpy all afternoon.

After work, I drove off and right as I was leaving the office, I spotted a familiar red BMW. Bonnie just got out of the car. She was all dolled up, wearing a polka dot beret, looking young and trendy. Her attire matched well with the red BMW
