An Unbreakable Addiction novel Chapter 82

Mia hesitated, her face warming slightly. “I, uh…accidentally bit my lip just now,” she said, though it was really Hunter’s lip she had bitten.

“Here, take this,” Summer said, handing her a tissue.

Mia took it, dabbing at her mouth, feeling a twinge of annoyance as she recalled Hunter’s bold move outside the restroom.

Who did he think she was, someone he could just kiss on a whim, regardless of the consequences or who might see?

If it had been Jenna, he would never have behaved like that.

“Oh, by the way, Mia,” Summer broke in, her tone cheerful, “Zac recommended me for this huge project, but it’s more than I can handle alone. If you’re free, would you lend me a hand?”

Mia set down the tissue and nodded. “Sure, I should have more free time now.”

With Jenna now at HH Law Firm, Mia figured she would lose a good chunk of her case load.

“Wait, is HH Law Firm shutting down or something? You actually have time to say you’ll be less busy?” Summer asked, surprised. She knew how swamped Mia was at the firm. Divorces seemed to come in endlessly.

“No, Hunter bought HH Law Firm, and now Jenna’s suddenly my new boss.” Mia chuckled lightly. “Honestly, taking it easy might be good. After years of dealing with divorce cases, I’m worn out.”

She had seen countless couples turn ugly during divorces. If she ever did divorce Hunter, she wanted to keep it civil. Tearing each other apart would just be too ugly.

Back then, whenever home life got rough, she would escape to Zac’s place and join in whatever he was learning. Naturally competitive, she picked things up fast, so he had eventually hired tutors just for her. It’s how she ended up with so many skills.

Zac smiled warmly. “You’ve got a real gift. You pick things up so quickly, unlike Carter, who could never get it right, no matter how much the tutors tried. I don’t even know how many times they had to set him straight.”

His mind filled with memories of Mia. Back then, she was young, and her family didn’t treat her well, so she often came to his home.

He had felt bad for her and invited her to join his lessons, hoping to distract her and lighten her spirits. But she picked things up faster than he ever expected.

Whatever they learned, she mastered it and the tutors could not stop praising her.
