Lost Me Gained Regret

A mistress confronting her successor—I felt like I was in a daytime drama,
and all I could do was laugh at the sheer ridiculousness of it all.
Just as my laughter faded, a muffled snicker echoed from behind me. I spun
around, my heart skipping a beat, only to meet the gaze of a man with a
naughty smile and a leather jacket, leaning casually against the wall. “Mrs.
Ferguson’s taste in drama is... unique,” he remarked, with a hint of mischief in

Just then, my phone rang.

“Where are you?” Bryant’s indifferent voice came through.
I smirked, “Ground floor, by the restroom. Just watched your ‘mistress’ and
‘the other woman’ showdown.”
“What mistress? I’m coming to you!” Bryant’s tone grew colder, and soon
