Christopher found the whole thing amusing . " You two , my wife and my best friend , why do you bicker like this the moment you're together ? " Rosalind shrugged . " No idea . Maybe he's jealous . " Christopher pulled her close , his arm possessively around her waist . " Don't tease . He has his heart set on someone ? Rosalind added , " A married woman . " Christopher sighed wistfully . " True . But the divorce is almost final . After all these years waiting , I hope it works out for him . " Rosalind had little interest in Eugene's romantic story . It sounded like a modern tale of a homewrecker . She turned back to Christopher . " Was that a call from the office ? Something urgent came up ? " Christopher's expression turned apologetic . " Yes . An emergency only I can handle . Might be pulling an all - nighter . Rosa , don't wait up . " " An all - nighter ? More like answering his mistress's summons , " Rosalind thought coldly . She nodded . " Go ahead . I'm tired anyway . " As she turned towards the bedroom , Christopher caught her arm , pulling her back . He tilted her chin , aiming for a kiss . Rosalind jerked her head away . His lips brushed her jawline . Christopher frowned slightly . " What ? Too shy for a proper goodbye kiss with your husband ? " Rosalind pushed firmly against his chest , freeing herself . " You said it was urgent . Go . " Christopher chuckled low in his throat . " Because Eugene's watching ? Don't worry about him . Known him for over twenty years . He's family . " " Just go ! " Rosalind urged . His phone rang again . " Latoya is getting impatient , no doubt , " she thought . He smiled , ruffling her hair . " Alright , I'm off . Be good . Rain's forecast tonight . Close the windows before bed . I'll be back first thing . " With that , Christopher was gone . Only Rosalind and Eugene remained in the house . She looked up at him . " Your buddy's gone . Aren't you leaving ? " Eugene crossed his arms , a thoughtful glint in his eyes . " He just left ? Doesn't worry about leaving a man and a woman alone together ? Things could happen . " 19:52 11.6 % Chapter 13 . Rosalind rolled her eyes . " You have your married crush you've pined over for years . Surely you're not that desperate ? " Eugene's lips curved . " Can't say for sure . " " Any other business tonight , Mr. Benitez ? " " No. Why ? " " Since you're free , perhaps we could finalize the terms for the power of attorney and the settlement agreement ?" Eugene nodded . " Exactly what I was thinking . " Rosalind wasn't a lawyer . She'd downloaded templates for both documents online . She pulled them up and showed them to Eugene . " What do you think ? " Eugene shook his head . " Formatting's all wrong . " " Care to demonstrate your professional expertise then ? " Eugene took over her laptop . Within minutes , a properly formatted power of attorney document filled the screen . " Print this . Get him to sign it . Two copies . Keep one , mail the other to me . " Rosalind switched to business mode . " Understood . I'll get his signature ASAP . " " Now , the settlement agreement , " Eugene continued . " No children , so custody's irrelevant . The key is the division of marital assets . " Rosalind stated clearly , " I've researched this . Marital assets are typically split fifty - fifty . But given his infidelity makes him the at - fault party , I propose a sixty - forty split . Sixty for me . " < Chapter 14 .
