“Portia Rios, people always say President Leonard spoils you, but today I’ve seen it with my own eyes. Rushing over like this, afraid I’d run off with your wife?”
I quickly glanced around the studio. There wasn’t a single man in sight.
Wiping the sweat from my forehead, I forced a smile. “Portia, yesterday you promised you wouldn’t sneak out again. Seeing you here so early, I couldn’t help but worry.”
“Didn’t the yoga doctor tell you to stop practicing? Why are you here so early then?”
My wife’s eyes flickered with something I couldn’t read. “I can’t practice right now, that’s why I came to extend the sessions. Since you’re here, you handle it, I’ll wait in the car.”
I swallowed hard and nodded, watching her figure disappear down the hall.
Suddenly, an impulse hit me. I grabbed the lady boss’s wrist. “Quick, show me the yoga studio’s surveillance, just this morning’s!”
The lady boss awkwardly pulled her hand free. “Sorry, Lucius, the surveillance just happened to break this morning.”
That familiar voice slithered into my ears again, sharp as ice. “Daddy, why won’t you believe me! If you keep this up, I’m really going to be angry! I’ll just kill myself then!”
