- 10.
A month might not be enough to make a
nobody famous.
But if that person refused all training and
used my name to get ahead, it was more than
enough.
With Mark’s approval, Chloe bypassed all the
senior artists in the company and landed a
spot on a talent show.
I spent my vacation watching Chloe play the
innocent ingenue on the show during the day,
and then pulling out all the stops in bed with
Mark at night.
It looked exhausting.
With a top–notch marketing team, and the

Chloe’s lives.
Before heading out, he even made a special
video call to me.
“Honey, it’s our eighth anniversary today, I
have a big surprise for you, make sure you
come back.”
He wore a tailored suit, every gesture oozing
confidence.
Too bad the slight beer belly and dark circles
under his eyes reminded me he wasn’t the
twenty–something–year–old he once was.
I smiled. “What a coincidence, I also have a
gift for you.”
