The Spare Wife

Howard looked into her eyes. “If you want an explanation, I can give you an explanation. But if you aren’t saying anything, how do you expect me to answer you?”

Abigail wanted to slap him. “I’ve turned a blind eye to your taking little bribes all this time. but I can’t believe you’d still do this when you’re in a place like this! How impatient can you be?” No wonder Luna wouldn’t stop arguing with him when they dated. He’s been working in Fairy Meadow for a year, but he’s not even one-hundredth of a manager Luna is. He’d toss our reputation aside just for pennies!

“He said he wanted to treat me to a meal. How was I supposed to know the drink was spiked?”

Howard was a little disgruntled. He looked at Abigail. “Yeah, I do. You have no idea how important those ‘little bribes’ are to me. You’re born to the Quinns, and Sean loves you.

When L.Moon was attacked, I didn’t rely on anyone. I had to give up tons of my benefits. The company lost seven figures when we were at our lowest. He didn’t bring that up.

Howard blushed, and he refused to talk anymore.
