Then he’s kissing me.
The Group Chats
THE GIRLS — MONDAY, 9:42 AM
Layla:
CODE RED. Bennett just called me from a supply closet. AN ACTUAL SUPPLY CLOSET.
Jenna is wearing a RING. Left hand. THE finger. He saw it at the morning briefing and forgot what quarter it is.
Serena:
I know.
Layla:
WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU KNOW
Serena:
I was at Mercer with Caleb early this morning (power couple breakfast in the boardroom while we both caught up on some work). She walked in wearing the gold band and her sunglasses like it was a perp walk. When the hell did she get married? And why don’t any of us know this?
Audrey:
Has anyone seen Dominic? Because it has to be him, right? They came back from Tokyo acting strange, and there’s no universe where Jenna married someone else.
Serena:
For clarity: we have a ring, a suspicious trip, and a man who has been publicly obsessed with her for three years. I’m comfortable calling Dominic the leading hypothesis.
Audrey:
Hypothesis? He’s in love with her. Logan says he hasn’t been on a date in YEARS. He swore it on his Iron Man chess set. His exact words were, “Dominic’s romantic attention has been functionally monogamous since Jenna entered the dataset.”
Serena:
That is the least sexy sentence anyone has ever used to describe obsession.
Nora:
I’m in a budget meeting so I can’t say much, except that Dominic came to visit David on Saturday about some paperwork. It was all very serious. He was not wearing a ring. But David KNOWS SOMETHING and Dominic left very quickly after Jenna said she was out of town.
Layla:
Do you think it was a prenup he spoke to David about? Is this why neither of them came to the movie Saturday? They eloped?
Serena:
Do you really think Dominic would plan a secret wedding, though? Jenna said she was visiting family on the weekend which means she was in Queens. If Dominic was visiting David and Nora that same day, he wasn’t with her.
Layla:
Dominic has a jet. He can be anywhere in the country within hours if he wants.
Audrey:
I’m going to question Logan. He’s Dominic’s best friend. If anyone knows where he was this weekend, it’ll be him. Hold please.
