My Husband Adored His Mistress, so I Asked Her Out

Synopsis

"Did you see her at the charity gala last month?" a woman's voice drifted out. "Lily Matthews. She looked absolutely stunning in that emerald dress." "The way Seth looked at her..." another voice added with a knowing laugh. "I mean, we all know about his thing for her, but he wasn't even trying to hide it." I froze, my hand hovering over the elevator button. "Poor Quinn," the first voice continued. "She's beautiful, but she's not Lily. Everyone knows Seth's been obsessed with her since college." "Remember when Lily came for that consulting meeting last week? Seth practically rearranged his entire schedule. And the way he walked her to her car..." "It's so obvious. I heard from Jennifer in accounting that Seth and Lily were seen at the Ritz last Tuesday. Same day Quinn was at that women's leadership conference." My chest tightened, but I remained perfectly still, hidden by the wall. "I feel bad for Quinn. She seems sweet, but she has to know, right? The whole office can see it." "Maybe she's in denial. I would be." Their laughter felt like needles against my skin. I waited until their footsteps faded before moving, my face carefully composed despite the storm building inside me.
