Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 498

“I was actually planning to go check out your competition at the arena with my cousin after I dropped you off today.”

“But then the devil himself called and ordered me to get my butt back to the detective agency right away!”

“So Will flew me back in his helicopter. Emmy, you should have seen him—he looked so freaking hot flying that thing!”

Abriella cupped her face, looking completely smitten.

“I couldn’t help myself. As soon as we landed, I flirted with him and said, ‘Hey, maybe we should give it a shot.’”

“And guess what? Steve came charging over out of nowhere like a mad dog, yanked me away from Will, and threatened to fire me on the spot if I even thought about dating him!”

“I swear, I hate being threatened more than anything!”

“So I told him, fine, fire me if you want! Who even cares? I just spun around and walked out of there!”

Emmy listened to this whirlwind story, honestly at a loss for words.

One of them was her best friend’s fated match in a past life. The other was her husband’s best friend in this one.

No matter what she said, it felt like she was going to pick the wrong side.

After a long pause, Emmy finally asked, carefully, “Do you… actually like Will?”

Just hearing his name made all the anger fade from Abriella’s face. She smiled, soft and sweet.

She nodded, hard.

“He’s actually such a good guy. Seriously. I just feel so relaxed around him—safe, even.”

“And the best part?” Abriella’s smile grew, her eyes all sparkly. “He’s so pure. I just have to tease him a little and he goes bright red, all the way up to his ears. It’s honestly adorable.”

Seeing her friend so happy made Emmy’s own feelings way more complicated.

Almost without thinking, she blurted out, “What about Steve? Did you ever… like him?”
