Chapter 0185
Hazel looked taken aback. “Of course not.”
What was he thinking, accusing her? He sighed. God, he was just tired,
“Listen… It’s just –”
“You just think I’m responsible for Fillman’s Freight wanting to pull their accounts.” The hurt grew in her
voice.
“You did talk to them. It’s natural that I would think –”
“You should leave.” Hazel turned fully away from Logan “Stay too long and everyone will suspicious.”
Why di
grow
did she say that last half so sarcastically? Didn’t she understand that he was trying to protect the both of them?
“We’re not done talking about this,” Logan said.
Hazel glanced back at him, over her shoulder.
Logan continued, “After I’m done with work-
Hazel turned away again. “Just go, Logan. I’ll see you tomorrow at the office.”
“You are upset,” Logan said.
“I’m fine,” Hazel said. Softer, she added, “Work comes first.”
She didn’t seem like she truly believed that, but every moment Logan wasted here threatened his work at the office. The Fillman’s Freight account was important: Surely Hazel would come to understand that, once the initial hurt and disappointment wore off.
I’ll see you tomorrow then.”
Logan started toward her, for maybe a kiss goodbye, or at least a hug. But as he approached, her whole body tensed. He didn’t have to be a linguist to understand her body language here: touching would not bet appreciated right now.
Instead, Logan turned himself toward the door and saw himself out.
Now alone in my new apartment, I covered her face and let the overwhelming disappointment of our ruined evening wash over me.
1 knew, deep down, that this wasn’t Logan’s fault. His busy schedule was just part of the job. I would always come second.
But that still hurt. This was to be our first date since discovering we were married and choosing to stay together. He’d brought champagne. We were supposed to be celebrating!
Cameron’s phone call felt too perfectly timed, and for to involve the Fillman’s Freight account also raised my suspicions. Our contact seemed nothing short of eager when I spoke to him this afternoon.
Did something change? How?

Maybe Logan would tell me tomorrow.
None of it really mattered right now, anyway. Our celebration was ruined, and now I was alone in my brand new house, with no one to help me celebrate, or drink this bottle of expensive champagne.
At least that part could be rectified. Instead of a date, what I needed now was a girl’s night.
I walked to where my phone was charging on the counter and sent off a quick text.
Got ditched for work. Needing my girls right now.
Their responses quickly chimed in one after the next.
Be right there!
