I heard irritation enter Seth’s voice.
“Heather, we’ve been over this. She’s going to be my wife. We’re going to make decisions based on what’s best for the family.”
After a pause, Heather continued.
“And she’ll start Monday morning?”
“Seven-thirty. Same as we discussed.”
Monday morning.
My staff meeting began at eight.
Dr. Bennett planned to introduce new billing software for the following month, then discuss my promotion afterward.
Seth knew about both appointments.
I’d told him over dinner, and he’d replied, “Sounds exciting, babe.”
Now he’d assigned my Monday to someone else.
My pulse pounded in my throat.
I considered leaving to find Paige and gathering myself before confronting him.
Then Heather spoke.
“I wish you’d let me thank her properly before today.”
“Don’t make a big deal out of it. She’s already nervous about the wedding.”
