Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 238

I was sipping on my juice when her final words made me choke hard.

After catching my breath, I finished my meal and poked her cheek, "Can't you shoot for something a bit classier?"

"Eight figures, though. You might handle it, but I sure can't." Christine's head spun with dollar signs, "Actually, bending a little for money isn't such a bad idea. And that Margaret, she's just his dad's lady. Nothing ever happened between them."

"Better drop that thought right now." As I grabbed my jacket to head out with her, I couldn't help but add, "And that Teresa, still dreaming of getting Bryant to marry Margaret."

"What?" Christine slipped into her heels, blown away by my words, "Has she lost her mind after being in a coma for so long? And wasn't she falling out with Margaret just the other day? Now they're back on the same team?"

"Who knows." I picked up my bag and opened the door.

With her imagination running wild, Christine speculated, "What if they're into some crazy stuff?"

I asked, "Like what?"

"Maybe a threesome?" Her shocking theories continued as she analyzed, "They're already sharing a man. What else could reconcile them so quickly?"

"A threesome?" My eyes widened in disbelief at Christine. "No way."

"Mrs. Ferguson does have a taste for the unconventional."

Just as we stepped out, the door at the end of the hallway swung open, and Gregory looked over with a smirk that wasn't quite a smile.

I closed my eyes. I couldn't understand why Gregory caught me every time I said or did something sketchy.

I looked at him, helpless, "Do you get a kick out of eavesdropping?"

"I'm in my own house." Gregory appeared as if he had just woken up, his hair slightly tousled, adding to his laid-back charm. "This is legitimate eavesdropping."

I couldn't out-talk him, so I let it go. "Fine, we've got stuff to do. We're off."

He stopped me, "Where to?"
