Chapter 41: Morning Surprise
"Because she’s Duncan Veston’s wife! That’s why..." Greg replied casually.
"Oh for fuck’s sake, don’t tell me you are going to use her to get your revenge on Annie and Duncan? She’s a victim too!" Harry exclaimed, clearly frustrated.
"I don’t know... Maybe I will or maybe I will not," Greg muttered before finishing his drink.
"Don’t do it... I’m warning you! She’s a close friend of Ethan’s, they say they’re best friends."
"Are they really? You heard him—they were close in college but haven’t seen each other for years since she got married. Does that still make them best friends?" Greg slurred as he poured himself another drink.
"I’m going to age ten years early because of you. Ethan went out of his way just to make you agree to let her stay, even though we both know you would have let her stay without him asking. Don’t you feel bad for her? The poor woman’s life is a mess right now, and you’re just piling more stress on her!"
"Hey, I’m not piling anything on her. I’m trying to help."
Harry scratched his head in frustration, unsure of what Greg really wanted. "So, after pissing her off, now you’re saying you want to help her? Why?"
"Because I want to... I think we’ll get along... Hehe... Hic!" Greg slurred.
"Really? So making her angry is your way of getting along with her?" Harry asked, clearly irritated.
"It’s just tonight. I’m still upset she stormed off like that from the resort. She’s not even sorry about it and standing on form ground that she did the right thing of leaving me. I am so tired of it Harry... People don’t see my value, they always leave me... But tomorrow, she’ll start liking me..." Greg muttered before resting his head on the table.
