When Love Becomes a Cage (Melanie) novel Chapter 142

Back home, Clyde was on my case, thinking I was planning to leave without saying goodbye.

Truth be told, it was clear to everyone that Lisa had her sights set on him.

She just hadn't found the right moment yet, and my leaving was her golden opportunity.

Clyde, still fuming, drove me to the airport.

“You better not chat up Vinson, don’t you dare hang out with him alone, don’t you—”

“Chill! I’m going for work, not some fancy holiday. If it makes you feel better, I’ll flirt with Lisa.”

I rolled my eyes at him, but that just made him laugh.

“The best you can do is flirt with me. Looks like I have to play the pretty boy card for my wife’s sake. How tough my life is!”

He grabbed my hand and playfully bit my finger.

With a ton of work waiting for him, he dropped me off and hurried back to the office.

I thought Lisa would take her time to make a move, but as soon as my plane landed, there she was, already cozying up in Clyde’s office.

The moment she arrived, Clyde fired up a video chat with me.

Lisa was dressed to kill today, in a silk dress that looked like it might slip off at any moment.

Clyde pretended to work at his computer while Lisa played the doting visitor, now bringing him coffee, now offering fruits.

After a bit of small talk, Clyde got straight to the point.

“Lisa, don’t you think this is inappropriate?”

He finally snapped when Lisa tried to feed him a slice of peach.
