Chapter 5

Chris followed Francis into the conference room. Max and Carmella were eagerly waiting at the end of the table. Evan and Garret were also already there, but Nicole was nowhere to be found. Heather arrived shortly after and stood next to Chris. Chris leaned over to Heather and whispered something in her ear. “We need to talk after this meeting.” Heather nodded in response.

Max cleared his throat. “Would someone be so kind and go track down Nicole? She’s five minutes late,” Max asked.

Chris and Heather volunteered to go. As they were walking down the hall, Heather asked Chris what he wanted to speak to her about.

“Francis interrogated me about the marriage,” Chris said.

“Did you tell him the truth?” Heather asked in response.
