When Julia Adams heard Nia say she was married, she had already glanced at Nia's hands. They were still bare, without a single ring.
Come to think of it, who gets married without a wedding ring? Unless...the man is dirt poor.
And, regardless of whether Nia Mitchell was lying or the man was truly dirt poor, either possibility delighted Julia Adams.
At the mention of a wedding ring, Nia Mitchell was indeed taken aback. She really hadn't thought about this problem before. She looked down at her own hands. The CEO hadn't mentioned buying one, and she had never considered it.Now that someone else had brought it up, the feeling was truly, damnably, unpleasant.
"Does the absence of a wedding ring mean I'm not married?" Nia Mitchell questioned Julia Adams. Only a snob would think that way, right?
"Of course! Otherwise, how would you prove you're married?" Julia Adams tilted her head back to look at her, her face full of scorn.
