Wife?

When the annoyance became too much for Kathleen to hold, she picked up her phone and dialled Pete's number.

She was just going to tell him how angry she was and let him know she had no intention of getting herself involved in a relationship with a man who didn't care about her. She dialled the number and waited while it rang. 

Clara, still fuming with anger and just about to leave the room, turned to glare at his ringing phone. She ignored the call and continued for the door, but just as she got to the door, she paused when an evil idea occurred to her.

What if it was Kathleen who was calling? She was likely going to quit her job once they returned from this trip anyway, so why not cause a bit of misunderstanding between them? Clara thought with a mischievous smile as she retraced her steps to his bedside to check the caller's identity. 

Her lips twitched with an evil smile as she picked up the phone when she saw it was truly Kathleen calling.
