---- Chapter 9 I never thought Spencer would bring me to city hall. My fingers tightened around the seatbelt as my heart pounded. "Spencer, why are we here?" "Making it official," he answered. Before I could process that, he was guiding me inside. I might've been the only person to get divorced in the morning and remarried by the afternoon. The whole thing felt surreal as we filled out the paperwork. When they handed me the marriage license, I could hardly believe I was married again, and to Spencer, my boss, of all people. I quietly pinched my thigh. The jolt of pain told me this wasn't a dream. Spencer caught me. Amused, he batted my hand aside. "Elise, I caught what Reuben said earlier. Look, I'm not messing around with you. Like I told you, this ---- didn't happen overnight. So let's start over. Hi, Mrs. Joplin. I'm Spencer Joplin!" Things between Spencer and me stayed pretty much the same. We still commuted to work together, but now we were also having meals together. There still wasn't any intimacy between us. All we did was share a bed at night. He told me he'd wait until I felt ready and said I just needed to let him know when the time came. I'd asked him whether making Reuben general manager was the right move, but he just gave mea cryptic smile and told me to wait and see. A few days later, the police arrested Reuben. According to the company, he'd been caught passing confidential info to a competitor, so they had pressed charges. With all the evidence stacked against him, the case wrapped up fast. Since no real damage was done, he got off easy-three months behind bars and fired on ---- the spot. However, that conviction burned his career to the ground. No way he'd ever land a related job in this city again. He probably never saw it coming. The promotion he'd wanted so badly had ended up wrecking him. Later, Spencer told me that there was no competitor. He'd set the whole thing up. He carefully asked me if I thought he was deceitful. I didn't see him that way, especially not next to Reuben. If anything, I admired him. Taking out a threat without even lifting a finger? That was next- level, something I'd probably never pull off myself. Three months later, I uploaded my wedding photos to Instagram. My phone instantly flooded with notifications, and the screen went black from the overload. I sighed. Really?
