I forgot that Jared was also a fan of Marvel. He seemed to think that I was here for him.
There was no way I would apologize to Isabelle when I was the victim.
“I don’t think you understand what’s going on. I’m here to celebrate my son’s birthday.”
Jared frowned. “Stop playing around. Do you really have to go so far as to claim you have a son just to get back at me? If you apologize, I can give you the son you want so badly.
“If it weren’t for your stubborn ways, we might’ve already had a son together! You’re already twenty-eight years old. Stop acting so immature.
“Apologize to Isabelle now.”
Jared sounded so sure that I was still obsessed with him.
I did not want to waste time on him, so I turned to the receptionist again. “Sorry. I didn’t bring my phone, but this is really important. Please try to call your CEO. He’ll know who I am.”
Then, I told her my husband’s personal number. Alas, he did not pick up.
The receptionist had no more patience left. “Ma’am, no one is picking up, and there’s no way you could know our CEO.
“He’s already married, and he has a kid. Both his son & wife are here at the office today.
“Do you know how many girls like you, who think they can be the pretty new thing hanging from his arm, I have to reject every day?
“How shameless do you have to be to set your eyes on a married man? Please leave before you cause us even more problems.”
