Lying to save face

The waiter came, and I asked him to get a seat for Kira.

"We have a guest here, get a seat for her." I place my hand on Sly's, "don't worry. We can't just send a beggar away. It will make us look bad."

"How dare—" She shut her mouth when Sly levelled a look at her. "Well, thank you for this."

The waiter got a chair for her, and we adjusted for her to get a space to keep her seat.

Sly doesn't look happy with her presence, that was why I tried to make him happy. I placed my hand on his and smiled brightly.

Kira's eyes narrowed in on our hands, and she clenched her fists.

Bitch, this is just the beginning.

When I'm through with her, she will learn never to disturb my husband.

I must make sure I cut her claws.

"I've been trying to contact you for the past few days, but your secretary said you were—"

"I was busy." Sly cut her off before she can complete her words.
