"I'm looking to buy an apartment for my wife."

I said in a low voice, just loud enough for the two of us to hear. Her eyes lit up with admiration.

"Wow! Your wife must be so lucky! Does she have a particular type of layout in mind? We've got a variety of new designs to choose from."

"Nothing specific."

I replied as I slowly made my way over to Wendy, pretending to be interested in the models on display. Step by step, I moved closer until I was standing right beside her.

Then, I raised my voice. "I'm just looking for something that'll make it easy for my cheating wife and her student to have some fun."

I heard the sound of a chair scraping the floor behind me. Turning around, I saw Wendy, her face streaked with tears, staring at me in shock.

"Landon...what are you doing here?" she stammered.

"Isn't this my dear wife, Ms. Soap, the youngest professor at Sunrise University? What's the matter? Why are you crying?"

I asked, feigning surprise as I reached out, pretending to wipe away her tears.
