Revenge is best served cold novel Chapter 10

In the past few years as a stay-at-home wife, I continued studying and designing jewelry in private. It hadn't been to pass the time as I genuinely loved it.

In my past life, I gave up my career because Jeremiah preferred a family-oriented wife. Now that I thought about it, it was laughable and pathetic.

Thankfully, I'd been given a chance to start over in life. It wasn't too late.

While I was lost in thought, I started drifting off to sleep.

The sky was bright when I woke up. I checked my phone and noticed I had slept all day till noon. As if right on cue, my stomach growled and reminded me it was time for lunch. I got up for a quick wash and headed out to a restaurant. Cooking at home felt like too much of a hassle. 

Just as I stepped out the door, I bumped into Eric, who was casually dressed in a black hoodie. He raised a hand to greet me and asked, "Heading out?"

I yawned lazily. "Yeah, grabbing some food. Don't you have work today?"

"It's the weekend. Even the CEO needs a break."

He raised an eyebrow and added, "Actually, perfect timing. I'm heading out for lunch, and since you mentioned treating me to a meal yesterday, how about today?"

I agreed without hesitation, "Sure. Let's do it today." I was planning to treat him to a meal anyway, and he'd been a great help yesterday.

Since I was going to treat Eric to a meal, it couldn't be just a random restaurant. I made a reservation at a well-known restaurant in the heart of the city.
