The next day at noon, Keith took Amara out for lunch. As they sat in the restaurant and Amara perused the menu, he asked, "What were you and Finnian doing at a bar so late last night?"
Amara looked at him in surprise. How did he know she had been out with Finnian?
Perhaps sensing her confusion, Keith explained, "Some of my friends were at the same bar last night. They saw you and Finnian go in together and enter a private room, so they took a picture and sent it to me."
Keith's tone was casual, but it hid a hint of displeasure.
He and Amara were only in a sham marriage, so he wasn't her real boyfriend and had no right to question her, but seeing the photo had filled him with jealousy.
So that was it...
Amara thought for a moment before saying, "It's a bit complicated. We were there to catch some cheaters."
"..."
"What?"
Amara leaned forward and lowered her voice. "I'm telling you, you won't believe what's happened these last few days. Fiona is cheating, and her affair is with Finnian's father..."
She gave him the rundown on Fiona and Andrew, leaving Keith utterly astonished.
He never would have guessed that Fiona would cheat, let alone that she and Andrew had a history.
Then he remembered something and said, a little annoyed, "Since we both saw them in the car that night, why didn't you tell me then? I asked if you knew them, and you said you didn't."
"It was dark, and I wasn't completely sure," Amara said, rolling her eyes.
