Unexpected Encounter with my Boss (Vincent and Tiffany) novel Chapter 95

"Tiff, are you off work yet?"

"I just finished. What's going on?"

"I cooked dinner, but Eric has a work event tonight. Do you want to come over?" Teresa's voice sounded strained, a hint of distress hidden beneath her words.

Having known Teresa her entire life, Tiffany immediately recognized the underlying tension.

She glanced at the fruit in her hand. "Of course, I'll be right there."

Teresa lived in a comfortable, middle-class neighborhood with decent amenities. The appeal of this house had been a significant factor in Teresa's decision to marry Eric.

Tiffany parked nearby and spotted Teresa waiting at the entrance of the neighborhood.

"Teri!" she called out, picking up her pace.

Teresa smiled and walked toward her, "Hello, Tiff."

"I brought some fruit, all your favorites." Tiffany lifted the bag she was carrying; it had originally been intended for Anna, but she had changed her plans and bought a few extra things for Teresa.

"It's no big deal."

The sisters linked arms and chatted as they strolled home. Upon entering, Tiffany was met with a strong herbal scent. "Teri, who's taking herbal medicine?"
