Victoria had noticed the way Gray had been acting around Milly so she took a few minutes to spy on them, she didn't care either way but she wanted to know just the same.
She wasn't surprised when she saw them kissing, she wasn't in love with Gray anymore and she was ok with him finding sex elsewhere but she didn't want him to know that.
Last year he had been seeing a slutty little blond and she knew it would be someone else every year as it had been for years.

One female after the other and they all thought that it would last forever and where shocked when he broke it off, he always picked married women so if she ever threaten to tell his wife he could do the same. Not that he ever would.

Victoria was surprised at how fast Gray worked at hooking up his affairs and this had to be recorded timing. She knew this affair wouldn't last long because Milly was from out of town and she didn't need to concern herself about another short lived affair, the only thing different about this affair was the fact that Victoria knew her and knowing her name just felt wrong.

Like it would ever matter if someone told her
she would just laugh at them and call them a liar, she would convince Gray that she thought the ladies were just jealous or after his money.
she'd die before she tell Gray that she knew the truth.

Victoria realize she was just like one of those bimbos that dated men for their money not that Gray had much money. when they married he had a little more money then most collage guys but after  several affair she only stayed because of his money, she just didn't want him to know that so she convinced him that she loved and in a way she did.
With two children in college and another with a baby on the way she would do anything to keep that a secret.
She had the biggest secret of all, she'd never told her husband that one of their beloved children may or may not be his, she had been wanting to do a DNA test for years but had never got around to it and now that they were grown it was impossible for her to do that without someone being suspicious. The affair lasted just under four months, she felt ashamed when she realize she was pregnant and didn't know which one was the father, she'd been faithful for many years after that.
She was young and he was a cute collage student that was in town for the summer, they had met at their summer job and would be leaving town when summer was over so when she found out she was pregnant she decided to never tell him that the baby might be his, to be honest the baby could belong to her husband Gray.

She moved into the kitchen making herself a plate of spaghetti and was sitting at her usual spot at the dining room table with a large glass of wine in hand when Gray came back in.

She pretended she knew nothing of his affair. They talked about the bills, they talked about things she wanted to buy the kids. She didn't want him to know she saw anything.

So how was your day she asked knowing perfectly well what he'd been up to.

Not much I got some work done but with Milly making so much noise in the kitchen I didn't get much done. he replied

Oh then I'm guessing your not going to have time to do your usual Christmas shopping this next week if you're behind in work, she said just trying to fill the time.

Well Milly is younger then Greta is so you can always ask Milly to go with you, I'm sure she will know what the girls would like more then you will and it will make shopping faster, she's new in town so I'm sure she'll have good ideas for the girls gifts and it won't take you so long decide on their presents. Victoria said she took a drink of her wine. I have never liked Greta and I'm not sure why you hired a new secretary and still kept Greta.

I had never thought of that.Gray said ignoring the comment about Greta as he ate a forkful of spaghetti.

You should ask, we are paying her so it don't matter what she does as long as she gets paid. Victoria said giving him the best Christmas gift ever.
