Margaret’s Surprise
Margaret gasped as the truth hit her, clutching her pearls like a scene out of an old movie. Her gaze bounced between the documents on my phone and my calm expression.
‘Mark, darling, are you for real?’ she asked, voice laced with surprise. The room felt charged with the weight of an unsettled storm, a vivid contrast to her usual poised demeanor.
I nodded, signaling that there was no deception here.
