puppy if it had been in the way of getting what she wanted. You know she went through three lawyers to try and reverse the prenup?”
    â€œPersistent.” And used to getting what she wanted.
    â€œSpoiled was more like it. She didn’t understand the word no .”
    â€œOr not yours . The wife of that producer Victoria had the affair with, what was her name? Kathryn?”
    â€œCassandra,” he corrected.
    â€œI can’t believe she forgave him.”
    â€œMy understanding is she hasn’t. She’s the money behind his movie deals… and their affair isn’t the only thing she and I have in common. We have the same lawyer.”
    â€œAh, so she’s got his wandering balls.”
    Duncan laughed. “So to speak. I think once the movie has had its release, so will he. Her silence is building hype around the film. Plus, she’s a classy woman. Airing her dirty laundry doesn’t look to be her thing.”
    â€œIt’s a shame your wife wasn’t of the same opinion.”
    â€œNo, she used the publicity to try and further her career.”
    Duncan really deserved a good cuff in the head for getting involved with her in the first place. “Why on earth did you marry her?” She slapped a hand over her mouth. Had she really asked that out loud?
    â€œIt’s okay. I asked myself that.”
    â€œEver answer yourself?”
    He sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. He looked like he was debating something. Maybe admitting he was a dumbass and allowed all that plastic beauty to cloud his supposed big brain? Then again, he was a guy. But why marry her?
    â€œThis is hard for me,” he finally said.
    â€œWhat? That you couldn’t see past her boobs? You’d have to carry binoculars for that.” Now she was just being petty again…and mean… and yes, a little jealous. But his wife had suckered punched him. Lizzy had seen the aftershocks, so she needed to be nicer. She pushed her chair back and stood.
    â€œAgain, sorry. I’m sure she had qualities I never saw and you did.” She went over to one of the sofas in the office and sat, wanting space between them before she admitted the next thing she was going to say. “She hurt you. And I didn’t like seeing you upset.” From the very first she’d liked Duncan. He was brilliant and impressed the hell out of her. To be humiliated that way must have been embarrassing. “I feel a little protective, where you’re concerned.” Their friendship hadn’t really kicked off until after Victoria’s duplicity was revealed, but Duncan was a good guy, and good guys didn’t deserve crappy wives.
    â€œWhy? Because she kicked the puppy?” he said defensively.
    It took a few seconds for her to understand. “No,” she told him. He saw himself as a wimp? “You’re the Einstein of business. Being tricked by her must have been… ego crushing.”
    â€œWhat’s worse? Being seen as a pansy or being too stupid to see past her manipulations?”
    â€œShe was a beautiful woman.” She motioned to his laptop. “And really good with getting people to love her.”
    â€œYes. But that’s not why I married her,” he said, as if bracing himself for her reaction to his true confession.
    Was she a superstar in bed? She did not want to hear that. The idea of them doing it made her sick to her stomach.
    â€œI’m hungry. I haven’t eaten anything since last night. How about we go into the kitchen and I’ll make us something? Come on.” He motioned for her to follow as he left his office.
    It was obvious he was avoiding her question, which made her all the more curious. “Do you want me to cook?” she asked, allowing him to lead the way. The kitchen was a chef’s dream, especially since he’d given her carte blanche in redesigning it. He’d spent a fortune.
    â€œNah, it’s the least I can do
