Sensing who it was, Christine Quinn paused her steps as she was leaving. After hesitating for a few seconds, she took out her phone from her bag.
Staring blankly at the screen where the name "Oversky" was flashing, Christine sniffled, gathered her emotions, and pressed the answer button. "Hello..."
"Honey, have you gone to sleep?"
"Not yet, I'm reading a book."
"Sorry, I've had so much to do today that I only had time to call you now."
Christine swallowed the bitterness in her throat, smiled faintly, "It's alright... I know you're 'busy'." Busy dating other women, busy lying to her.
"The project should be secured by the day after tomorrow at the latest..."
"Really?" Christine's smile was pained, "That's truly something to be happy about..."
"Baby, aren't you going to ask when I'll be back?"
"Didn't you say you'd be back in three to five days?"
"Don't you want me to come back sooner?"
No.
If you come back now, I might still be able to smell another woman's perfume on you.
