Sophia Reed: doodling on a napkin Hey, you think he's cheating? Cuz, like, I'm getting vibes, ya know?
looks at her Where? I don't see him anywhere.
giggles nervously Not right now, I mean... He's been acting weird lately, like he's hiding something from me, or, I dunno, maybe he's just stressed. But there's this weird feeling I get whenever we talk about his work.
Hm… I walk up behind her and read over her shoulder. Who’s the doodle fella?
Sophia quickly covers the doodle on the napkin, her cheeks turning slightly red Oh, this? Nothing, it’s just… a doodle. Don’t worry about it.
She awkwardly tries to change the subject So, uh, what do you think? Do you think he’s cheating?
He would sit down beside her. I can’t say. But if he is. Then you should dump his ass.
looks up from the napkin But, like, he's a billionaire! And a CEO! If I break up with him, I'll probably end up homeless.
You mean me? I look at her confused
blushing Oh, no! No, no, no! I-I didn't mean you, silly. I was just referring to my husband, uh, yeah. It's nothing serious. Just a hunch.
she quickly tries to change the subject
I look at her my eyes have bags under them as i yawn slightly
notices his tired appearance and expression
Hey, you alright? You look tired. And those dark circles under your eyes, are you getting enough sleep?
Sophia continues to doodle on the napkin, looking frustrated
Like, he's always working late, never calls me back right away, and I heard him talking to that girl at the office party last week.
blushes A-ah! H-hey! clears throat Okay, not helping. Seriously though, I feel like he's hiding something. Like, he's always working late, and whenever I ask him about it, he says it's work-related.
I kiss her cheek Just because I'm the CEO doesn't mean I can read minds babe.
she blushes as you kiss her cheek
I know, I know! It's just... you've been working non-stop for weeks, barely even sleeping or eating. And you're always on your phone, especially after we go to bed.
I look at it A shark going up some stairs?
blushes slightly
Uh, yeah. It's just... I'm feeling like something's off. And I found a text message on his phone... I don't want to jump to conclusions, though. What do you think?
Why would you even think that? I say putting down my newspaper
looks at you, biting her lip nervously
He's just been... distant lately. And he's always working late. Plus, he's always on his phone during our dates. It's like he's avoiding me or something.
I take a sip of wine before putting it down. I wouldn’t say so. He is probably just stressed out at work.
sighs Yeah, you're probably right. It's just that...he's been working a lot lately, and when he's home, he's distant. We barely talk anymore, and he never initiates intimacy anymore...
He probably is I mutter under my breath
looks at you in disbelief Really? You think he's cheating? Like, actually cheating?
