“I interviewed Ms. Hall last week when you were in Baltimore, and I believe she will be a great asset to our team!”

I don't doubt she will be, but now I’m a bit nervous that once she gets the ropes of the job I’ll be out. I don't have a job lined up if Christian decides to let me go once, I move. I can see Andrew shift his attention towards me when Christian mentions Baltimore. So, I guess Christian didn't tell him after all, based on his reaction.

“Baltimore? Are you moving?” As much as I wanted to ignore his question, I didn't want to look like a snob in front of Jasmine.

“Yes, next Friday I'm leaving!”

I make sure I have a big smile on my face to show how excited I am to be starting fresh in a new state on my own. My heart aches when I think about leaving him behind and all our history together. Even though we are divorced, it’s hard to just get rid of all the feelings attached to those memories.

“Good for you!”

That's all he is going to say. He is acting like he isn't even interested at all. When I look up to see his face, I can see why he doesn't seem all that interested. The look in his eyes is a look I know all too well. Lust and hunger. The kicker is that he isn't looking at me with those eyes. Instead, they are directed right at Jasmine. That kicks me right in the damn gut! I know we are divorced but it just proves that I wasted a whole extra year of marriage and counseling for this man. He didn’t change then, and he obviously still hasn’t.

???

I decided to surprise Andrew at the office tonight since our therapist had told us to try to be spontaneous again. He has been working late a lot lately on his recent project. This is something we use to do all the time, spontaneous sex, but our sex life hasn't been that exciting lately. I decided to spice things up a bit to try to get our flare back. I had gotten over the cheating and we had decided to try for another baby. We don't really talk about losing the baby at all anymore. It worries me a little, but I really think we are making progress with marriage counseling.

I enter through the glass front doors of the office building and head straight to the elevators. It's seven and the front desk attendant has gone home for the day. It's Friday so today was supposed to be an early day, and everyone got out at four. The front door to the office building is always left locked and you need a key card to get in. Andrew got a spare for me since I would visit him all the time for lunch. You need the key card to use the elevator as well. This build is one of the taller buildings in Syracuse with fifteen floors and Andrew's office is on the very top floor. I scan the key card and press fifteen, the elevator doors close and start to move up. I adjust my jacket just enough so my cleavage from the lingerie is showing under my pea coat.

The elevator stops and I look up to see the light illuminating over fifteen. The doors open and I take a step out. The room is filled with a bunch of cubicles with the main offices towards the back of the wall where there are windows lining the walls. Most of the lights are off in the main part of the room but there is still the moon light to light up the space from the floor to ceiling windows to the left wall. I make my way past the empty cubicles to Andrew's office. His light is the only light still on, but his door is closed and the blinds in his little windows are closed.

When I get closer that's when I hear it. A moan, not Andrew's moan but a woman. My heart sinks into my body and I instantly feel sick to my stomach. I turn to the closest cubicle and quickly grab the trash can under the desk in case I do actually throw up. My brain is thinking a million things at once, but I can't be sure what's actually going on unless I open that door. I know exactly what I'm going to see, but I need to know who he has in there. I finally take a few deep breaths and take the steps back to his office door. When I reach out and put my hand on his doorknob, I hear her.

"Are you going to cum inside me like you do your wife?" I hesitate to turn the knob to wait for his response to her.

"Don't talk about my wife! I don't want to think about her." He moans and I can tell that he just thrusted into her.

Now I'm raging with anger and turning that knob faster than I ever imagined. I take a step inside, and they both are startled by my presence. He suddenly pulls out of her and they both scramble to find their clothes that are thrown about on his office floor. The image of her bent over his desk with his hand around her neck bending her backwards to arch her back will be seared into my mind forever. The sounds of them both panting heavily when he took that last push into her before they noticed me in the doorway.

I can tell that I look angry just by feeling the heat rising in my cheeks and I have no doubt that my face is red. Andrew is putting on his pants and puts his hands up.

"It's not what it looks like, I promise Allison." I look at Jane who is zipping up her pencil dress and then back at Andrew who quickly put his white under shirt on. I tilt my head a little to the side and let out a little huff and smile a little.

"That's weird because to me it looks like you were just fucking your secretary." Jane's cheeks turn red, and she looks at Andrew.

"I should go, I'm so sorry." I don't know why she is apologizing to him; she should be apologizing to me for fucking my husband.

As she is walking toward me standing in the doorway she looks down at the floor. Seems fitting, too cowardly to look the women in the eyes that is married to the man you were just screwing. When her shoulder is next to mine, I turn and grab her arm.

"Wait, I just have one question?" Andrew is looking straight at me when I ask.

"How long? How long have you been screwing my husband?"

Jane turns and looks at Andrew who is still looking at me with a guilty look on his face. I grow angrier and break my stare from Andrew to Jane.

"Don't look at him, I'm the one who asked the question. How fucking long?!"

"Allison, please, this isn't going to help." Andrew takes a step forward and I put my hand out to gesture to him to stop.

"Don't you dare come near me."

I look back at Jane who now has eyes filled with tears as she says, "three months."Why the fuck is she crying?I'm the one who just found out her husband has been sleeping with someone else the past three months. This whole time in counseling he was just bull shitting while going and fucking some other women while I tried to piece us back together. I let go of her arm and she ran to the elevator.

It's just me and Andrew left in his office now. My eyebrows raise with shock and my mouth is open.

"Three months, three fucking months Andrew?" Andrew takes another step toward me as he blows out a much-anticipated sigh of defeat.

"I said don't come near me. I do not want you to touch me."
