Love Amounts to Nothing

"Not as impressive as you, Ms. Chapman. I've never seen a more successful homewrecker than you," I said pleasantly.

Wendy's expression darkened. Just as she was about to retort, Luke came over.

When he saw me, amazement flashed in his eyes. Smiling, he said, "You've come at the perfect time. Join me on stage for a speech later. I want everyone to know I have such a stunningly beautiful wife."

I was wearing a strapless gown that showed off my killer figure. I was already beautiful to begin with, and with some makeup, I knew I looked captivating.

Hearing this, Wendy bit her lip and said resentfully, "I thought you said you wanted me on stage with you, Luke. Why are you going with her now?"

Luke's expression darkened in displeasure. "This is an important occasion. I don't need you here now; go home."

Wendy knew that this wasn't the right place to make a scene too, so she could only stomp her foot in frustration and walk away.

Luke took my hand and led me onto the stage while he whispered instructions to me. "I'm hoping to secure a few major clients tonight. All you have to do is stand beside me and look pretty. Don't mess things up for me."

The MC handed him the microphone and announced, "Now, let us welcome the CEO of our company, Luke Madden, and his wife to the stage for a speech. A round of applause, everyone!"

Luke started off his speech with a few inspiring words while I stood beside him silently, maintaining an air of indifference.

When he was done, the emcee stepped in again. "Alright, now, let's take a look at the company's history, presented to us by Mr. Madden himself!"

All eyes turned to the large screen on stage. Luke smiled and cleared his throat, preparing to speak.

But when he turned to look at the screen, he froze.

The screen didn't play the presentation he was supposed to give. Instead, it showed a video of him and Wendy in bed.
