Chapter 0012
Wendy nodded obediently.
Whatever. Probably even fate was telling me that there was nothing I needed to take with me. Since I came here with nothing, I should leave with nothing.
I ignored Wendy’s hesitant expression and returned to my room. I called my friend, Yasmine Warren.
When she answered, I could hear the sound of a keyboard clicking away in the background. “So, did you manage to conquer your man?”
I covered my face in embarrassment. Agreeing to try the lingerie tactic was the worst decision I ever made in my life.” Don’t even ask about it. I need to ask you something. Can you help draft a divorce agreement?”
“Of course! Why wouldn’t I grab a deal that has fallen into my lap? Just send my contact information to the heartbroken woman who needs it,” Yasmine replied.
“Have you ever thought that by chance, I could be the heartbroken woman you’re talking about?”
“Oh!” Her voice sounded apologetic. “Did you come to that realization after failing to win your dream guy over?”

I had ample evidence of his emotional infidelity. Regardless of whether he and Claudia had crossed the line or tasted the

anymore.
Yasmine didn’t ask further and simply agreed. “In that case, have you thought about what I asked you before?”
I answered firmly, “You mean about the job? I’ll do it.”
Yasmine and I met at the same private elementary school. We
went to the same middle school, high school, and university.
