Chapter 4
Corbin and Serena got hired at a Fortune 500 company.
Of course, they couldn’t wait to brag.
They had a graduation party that weekend, and Corbin took Serena with him.
I played dumb and asked, “Hey Corbin, I heard you can bring your partner to this thing.”
“I’m your girlfriend, right? I can go?”
Corbin looked at me like I was garbage and laughed.
“Do you know what everyone else’s girlfriends look like?”
“Gorgeous, young, flawless. Not some… aging cougar.”
“You show up and people will die laughing.”
Corbin loved mocking my age.
Last time, that AI system of his really got under my skin.
I let it get to me.

‘m only seven years older than him.
This time around? His petty digs don’t even scratch the surface.
We’ve been together for years and you still won’t go public?”

got him the job too.
But no one knew we were together.
o yeah, if I told anyone the truth, it’d sound like I was just paying to keep him around.

Corbin, this your girl? She’s hot!”
Wait, I thought Corbin was dating Serena? When did you trade up, bro?”
sueone else chuckled, “Yo Corbin, this your sugar mama?”
People on campus used to call him “Mr. Corbin like he was some hotshot rich kid.
All that money he spent?
Mine.
And I was the idiot footing the bill.
I smirked.
