Chapter 183

Elena smiled. She was surprised by her husband’s sudden sweetness,

“You should tell your boss,” he continued. “Make him fire or kick out whoever is saying anything mean about you,”

Elena nearly laughed. “That would only make things worse,” Elena responded. “They’d start saying I have my boss wrapped around my finger or that I’m a witch who cast some wicked spell on him.”

“That’s stupid,” her husband instantly replied.

“It is,” Elena agreed. “Anyways, I’m not looking for solutions right now. I know you can’t help with any of this.”

It took a long moment for Elena’s mystery husband to reply.

Elena felt ready to get back to the party- the reminder that she had people supporting and believing in her had helped renew her energy.

As Elena returned to the banquet table, she was surprised to spot Massimo returning as well. He smiled at her and she returned the grin with plenty of warmth.

“Shall we?” he asked, offering Elena his arm.
