Amoura's eyes narrowed as she crossed her arms. "Who knows? If he can't move past this, he should confront Presley instead of wallowing in self-pity." "Colby" bristled, his tone defiant. "My personal life is none of your concern. Stop meddling in my love life. I'm perfectly capable of finding someone on my own." With an exasperated sigh, Amoura turned to Javier. “Let's eat first and talk later. Otherwise, we might lose our appetites entirely."

By the tthey finished the meal, Javier's head throbbed. He hastily urged "Colby" to get married soon before making a swift exit.
As the room emptied, Eileen was stunned, her fork hovering mid-air. She leaned towards Bryan, her voice a whisper of disbelief. "Do you really think that was Colby?" Bryan ladled soup into her bowl, gently pushing it towards her. "Apart from his appearance, there were moments when he did seem like Colby. But you should focus on your meal for now. We can discuss this after you've eaten." Eileen set down her fork, her mind racing. "No, wait. The last twe saw the fake Colby, you noticed it, too.

Eileen's belly had swelled considerably in recent weeks, prompting Bryan to impose strict to restrictions on her outings. Feeling stifled by the restrictions, Eileen often tagged along with him to the office, sometimes bringing Gabriela for company.
She had fallen into a comfortable routine: mornings spent on her phone, followed by a midday nap and afternoons working on the laptop. Occasionally, she would assist Bryan with minor tasks, content to wait for him to finish working so that they could go htogether.
That afternoon, however, Eileen's routine was disrupted. As she stirred from her nap, her phone buzzed With a call from Bryan. He explained that the overzealous client had invited him for a round of golf and dinner after signing the contract.
