1Jane“Please tellat her house and gossiping just like ays have The only difference is that now, my best friend is married to Gray Jamison, CEO and forular house because it’s a e kitchen has every convenience: waffle maker, bread maker, pastait doesn’t have is a personal chef I look around with solad to have my humble half-size dishwasher

Harlow shakes her head and her dark wavy curls bounce around her shoulders as she laughs “It’s true Gray can’t get enough But it’s the same for me, so it works,” she winks

“Oh od, I hate you,” I tease “You have an insanely handsome, filthy rich husband and two beautiful kids But don’t you feel like you can’t breathe sometimes as a wife and mom?”

She laughs sweetly

“Oh god, no It’s aweso, I feel like I have it all But Jane, is that how you feel? You just gaveone of those kinky couples with a sad Fifty Shades box of toys, can you iine?”

My face burns and I laugh “I, um no, I meant by the commitment of it all I mean, we’re only twenty-five, but you have a family already Isn’t it a lot? Our lives are so different now, Harlow I’ to eous palace”

She giggles and I laugh too, except that being broke isn’t exactly fun and games Plus, kids and a husband sound like Heaven, to be honest It would be so satisfying because I have a motherly side that craves fulfill

“I do what I want, Jane, and what I want is to play withwith Gray It’s the best life I can possibly irow dreamy and content

“Well, I’ but happy for you”

She giggles “No, you’re not”

“Okay, okay, you got me I’m not only happy for you because I burn with the jealousy of a thousand suns But seriously, I et to grow up in this gigantic house –”

“With a few acres for a backyard—”

“Yes, that, too,” I scowl at her while she keeps giggling at , by the way?” I ask innocently, hoping she doesn’t notice the abrupt change in subject

Harlow thinks for a moment

“Good Brent’s been busy again Ko hours for the last , he’s with one of his scrawny bimbos, and I can’t stand theet hihter and grandkids would be an attraction!”

The thought of Brent Marshall dating other women makes me flush with jealousy, but Iabout Brent I see him in his sexy suits, his chestnut hair swept off his forehead, and a smile on his lips that makes me …

Harlow snaps her fingers “Earth to Jane!”

I jolt back to real life, e about her dad

“Sorry,” I apologize, cheeks red “I’ve been keeping late hours at work It makes me easy to distract”

Jane looks puzzled

“The insurance agency makes you stay late? Shouldn’t a receptionist have more time to herself than that?”
