It’s Too Late To Get A Divorce

“Are you okay?” Kim hurried over, gently patting her back. 

Catching her breath after coughing, Alita recognized the man by her side. She quickly stepped back, keeping her distance. “Weren’t you heading downstairs with, Annabel? Why are you back up?” 

“I left my phone in the office and came back to grab it,” Kim replied calmly, even if it was a lie. 

Alita chuckled inwardly. “What a lame excuse.”
