When My Ex's Worst Enemy Became My Sanctuary novel Chapter 118

Dorothea hadn’t planned on having a one-on-one meal with a coworker today. She thought she was just here for the interview.

Garth was usually obsessed with food, and today was no exception. The table in front of him was covered with little cakes and all sorts of meats, but he didn’t touch any of it. His eyes were fixed on Mamie, sitting across from him, like he was afraid she’d disappear if he blinked.

Mamie couldn’t help but ask, “Do I really look that much like your mom?”

Garth seemed a little more composed now. “Yeah. You look so much like her.”

Mamie could tell this probably wasn’t the best subject to dig into. Maybe Garth’s mom wasn’t around anymore. She decided to leave it alone.

Dorothea didn’t know the backstory either. She just tried to keep the conversation going while keeping an eye on Garth.

“So, you’ve been living abroad all this time. What made you want to come back? Isn’t there more opportunity overseas?”

Honestly, Dorothea knew she couldn’t compete with the kind of salary Mamie could get at an investment bank.

Mamie smiled, like she’d answered this a hundred times. “My family’s moved back here. Plus, I’m getting married soon. My boyfriend wanted to come back and work here, so I came with him.”

“Congratulations. Are you two getting married soon?”

Mamie didn’t hesitate. “Probably at the end of next month. Is The Gresham okay with that?”

Dorothea shook her head. “Not a problem at all. You don’t strike me as someone who’d settle for being a full-time housewife, anyway.”

Mamie grinned. “Definitely not. I’m sure being a housewife works for some people, but it’s not really my thing.”
