So when the company organized another party, I expected nothing unusual.
Mike only told me he needed to arrive early.
“I have something to
discuss with Kate.”
Kate worked in his department.
Young, beautiful, always polished.
I had never thought much about her.
Not until the moment I walked into the restaurant.
The first thing I heard was Mike laughing.
I looked toward the bar.
And froze.
His hand was on Kate’s back.
Kate was practically pressed against him.
I kept trying to convince myself that I was misunderstanding what I was seeing.
Then Mike leaned over and whispered something into her ear.
Kate laughed and moved even closer.
I walked straight toward them.
“
Mike, what is this?”
The room slowly began to go quiet.
Mike turned around.
For one second, he looked confused.
Then he smiled.
“Well, Sarah, how much longer did you think we could hide it?”
