I hesitated, telling myself to just take one last look.
"Marvin, we..."
And there she was, the other woman, always by his side.
My grip tightened on my bag as I made a hasty retreat toward the door, but he called out to me.
"Wait."
I stopped but didn't turn around.
"What's wrong? Afraid to see me?"
Slowly, I turned to face him, forcing a wry smile.
I didn't need a mirror to know how twisted and awkward my expression was.
Marvin's face was serious, his gaze cold and unyielding, locked onto me.
"Is there something you need?" I asked, trying to keep my voice steady.
"We should set a time to finalize the paperwork," he replied.
I froze, the reality of our situation hitting me like a ton of bricks. I had almost forgotten about it in the chaos of everything. But maybe this was for the best; at least I wouldn't have to see him too upset.
"When are you free?"
"Today."
I let out a bitter laugh, muttering, "That soon, huh?"
"Ms. Parker, you don't seem to be taking this very hard," he said, a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
Sharon chimed in, her voice icy. "What's the matter? Can't stand to see him move on?"
I noticed Marvin shoot her a cold glance, and she quickly silenced herself.
