The Reluctant Cinderella (2006)
“She set down her cup without drinking from it. “Oh, my Lord. It’s not true, is it?”
Megan pressed her lips together and slowly shook her head. “Never,” she vowed. “When Greg lived in the neighborhood, I never said more than two words to him, or he to me. We only got together a few weeks ago—after his divorce from Carly became final—when he hired me and my company to do some work for Banning’s, Inc.”
Marti pushed her cup away. “Oh, Megan. I’m ashamed, I truly am. I should have asked you….”
“Yes.... You should have. And let me guess who told you that lie—Irene Dare. Rhonda Johnson. And probably a couple of other women who know Irene and Rhonda.”
Marti cast a penitent glance heavenward. “Megan, forgive me. I should have known better than to listen to them. And I have no excuse for believing them. Except that, seeing you and Greg today, I jumped to the conclusion that since you’re together now, you were probably getting together then.”
“It was the wrong conclusion.”MoreLess
