Who Knew My Assigned Mechanic Husband Was a Big Shot? novel Chapter 81

The woman from apartment 2102 whispered to her husband, "Their outfits are so mismatched. It's like one walked out of a historical drama and the other is a modern guy."

The man smirked, keeping his voice low. "Exactly. That's why they're stuck eating dry toast and water, while we get prime steak and BBQ ribs."

The two of them burst into smug, condescending laughter.

Sloane glanced at Logan Lennox.

Logan clearly felt the sting of embarrassment. To save face, he deliberately wrapped his arm around Sloane's waist, pulling her close so they would look like a perfectly normal, modern couple.

But the woman simply nudged her husband, leaning down to whisper again. "They are trying so hard. Do they really think a little shoulder-squeeze makes anyone believe they're in love?"

Her husband scoffed. "Maybe he just can't get it up."

"But he looks so broad and athletic!"

"Haven't you ever heard of a big truck with a tiny engine?"

The woman giggled hysterically, burying her face in her husband's chest as she shook with laughter.

Logan finally reached his breaking point. He cleared his throat loudly. "If you're going to talk trash, at least have the decency to whisper. We can hear every word."

The man didn't look embarrassed in the slightest. Instead, he gave Logan a deeply patronizing look. "If you can hear us, then you need to step up your game, buddy. Look at how well the government treats us! Free housing, subsidized childcare, and a luxury breakfast spread every morning. Do you know how much money that saves us?

"You've got to show some gratitude. You're living under the same roof. Why haven't you sealed the deal? Yet here you are, acting like prudes and suffering through dry toast every day."

With that, the man pulled his wife closer.

She tilted her head up, demanding a kiss.

He aggressively smashed his lips against hers, making sickeningly loud smacking noises right in front of them.

Sloane watched in absolute horror.

Thankfully, the elevator chimed, sparing them from the agonizingly awkward spectacle.
