Cheating with my boyfriend's best friend

Chapter 74

“Oh…” David seemed crestfallen. “I must’ve taken a wrong turn again…”

I peeked at his phone and smiled. “I can take you there.”

“That’d be great. Thank you.”

are good too, but just don’t order the pizza.” I giggled.

“Thank you again for helping me. Could I buy you something to eat?” Before I could politely decline, he

added, “It’d be a perfect opportunity to go over the problems you’ve had in the lab lately. Julian

mentioned an issue with your formula…?”

“I’ll have the same as the lady.” David smiled at the waiter. “But instead of the ice cream, I’ll just have a

My smile froze on my face.
