It was the five-star lounge I had mentioned to Skyler so many times before, begging him to take me so we could make memories together. I had seen rave reviews about it, and everyone online was crazy about the place. But, as always, Skyler had come up with an excuse. Too busy. Too much on his plate.
I exhaled, pushed the memory aside, and walked inside the building. The hostess gave me directions to the private room. As I reached for the door, I froze, overhearing Simon’s voice from inside. “Raya thinks so highly of herself. I can't believe we had to call her countless times before she agreed to come.”
My eyes narrowed. My heart pounded in my chest as I pressed my ear closer to the door.
"I don't know why Skyler humbles himself for someone like her," Simon continued, lacing his words with spite. "She's unappreciative."
Tia’s soft laugh followed. “She’s just a middle-class girl. Of course, she gives off an attitude. People like her are insecure. But I know she’ll come crawling back to Skyler. She’s nothing without him.”
