Lola
Now?
Me
I will text you my address.
Better yet. Give me yours. I will send a car.
Chapter Twenty-Nine
LOLA
I'mworried my nerves just might chew a hole through my stomach, I'm that worked up. "What were you thinking, Lola?"
There are eight messages from Ruby, who is demanding to know how and why I'm sick when I was more than fine at work today—so much so that I agreed to go to her favorite dive bar with her.
"If I got through all the things I needed to do at work." It was meant to be my get-out-of-jail-free card.
I would just stay and hopefully catch Enzo when he came in and then...and then decide if I was going for drinks or...
Or what?
Sex?
Did I actually think I would be having sex with Enzo right now in his office?
Well...in my head, yes. But being in my head, the other option of drowning my sorrows seemed good, too.
Still, I should respond.
Me
I'm sorry.
Ruby
You should be.
Me
Just...by the time I finished the rest of the work Enzo left me, I wasn't feeling the best.
Ruby
Ha! It's Enzo now!
I grit my teeth.
Me
That's his name.
Ruby
And he's hot. If you tell me you're having a tryst, I will forgive you more.
