is having an affair,” she added in a low voice. Julie shook her head and took a long sip of her ginger ale. “ Or maybe you are both too busy to pay any attention to your marriage,” Julie said. Dana raised an eyebrow over the other. “ Last time he was here I wore the black lace and mesh Victoria’s Secret lingerie with those extra sexy Manolo shoes…I can hardly stand in them let alone walk,” she said. Julie knew exactly which pair of shoes she was referring to. She had wanted them ever since the day she first saw them. She looked at Dana and gave her a sad smile. The lace and mesh lingerie was the one thing she was sure no man would be able to resist especially the thigh suspenders that gave a man that hot stripper mindset. “ And how did he react when he saw you?” Julie asked. Dana frowned and shook her head. “ He didn’t even look at me and honestly, I feel silly going above and beyond the call of duty when it comes to maintaining this body,” she said. “I mean, I have something every single day, yoga twice a week, kickboxing on the weekends and Pilates every other day. That is a bit too much for a man who doesn’t even brush his shoulder against me. Even by mistake.” Julie could feel another cramp coming on. She looked at Dana trying hard not to show the pain in her face. “ What am I supposed to do?” Dana asked as she looked at Julie whose pain was now subsiding. Julie straightened herself up and took a long sip of her cold ginger ale. She looked up and sighed. She had no idea what she was supposed to say to Dana. This could very well be a case of gross miscommunication. “ How about talking to him?” Julie asked. Dana shook her head. “ What good will that do? The longest he has talked to me in the last few months was the day he asked me if I knew where his cellphone charger was,” she said. “ Apart from that, have you noticed anything strange in his behavior lately?” she asked. “ Kind of. Lately, he has been a little too careful with where he has been leaving his phone…sometimes he even takes his phone to the bathroom. That, to me is a bit weird,” Dana said. Julie nodded. It was weird. “But I have been trying to be the bigger person for a long time now. It is kind of taking a toll on me and I hate it,” she said. Julie put her fork down and looked at her boss. She hated to be the bearer of bad news but in this case, it seemed like there was no way to sugar coat what she was about to say. “ Listen. You know that most people say that you should always trust your gut feeling and honestly, it sounds like you are in denial of what is really happening here.” “ Which is?” Dana asked. Julie looked at her and shook her head. “ Which is? You are really asking that?” she asked. Dana nodded. “You are not exactly being open with what is happening here.” “ I think that there is something going on here. Maybe there is so much more than just the secret phone calls going on but as a person who is trying to be impartial here, I think that he owes you an explanation,” Julie said. She looked at Dana and reached for her hand. “I think there is so much more to the story but I really think that you should try and pry the information out of him.” Dana looked at Julie and frowned, in the same way she usually did when she had something to say. Julie raised an eyebrow. “What is it now?” Julie asked. “ I think it has been too damn long that I might have cheated a little,” Dana said. Julie’s eyes grew wide. “ A little? Cheating is like being pregnant. You either are or you’re not. So which one is it? Did you cheat or didn’t you?” she asked. Dana took a small bite of her beef, carefully avoiding eye contact. “Well?” Julie pressed. “ Remember when I told you that my cousin was going to be in town for a few days?” Julie nodded. “Well, we went out clubbing the other night and I might have had an orgasm when I danced with a random guy
