They’re Talking Smack About Us

Kira licked her dry lips. ‘I, uh, I…’ Gosh, what was she supposed to say? Should she tell Isabel? But that was sure to lead to an ugly scene. Isabel didn’t look like the type of woman who would tolerate infidelity in a spouse. Would the couple get into a fight? Or worse, a divorce? Kira threw another black look at Austyn. Why must he drag her into this? If he hadn’t drawn her attention to the woman last night, she would have thought no more of it. He knew they were coming to see Isabel. He must have done it on purpose! By this point, Luca had also sensed something was off. The captain scrutinised Kira’s face. ‘What’s going on? Kira?’ Kira wanted to flee from the room. Austyn finally spoke up. ‘Why are you standing there? Come over here.’ Kira grabbed the lifeline he threw her. She trotted over and plonked herself down on the sofa. Austyn twirled a whisky glass in hand. ‘Luca, stop staring at my wife. You have your own.’ ‘I wasn’t staring. I just want to know why she’s acting so weird.’
