I never revealed to my husband’s mistress that I was the renowned plastic surgeon she’d booked a consultation with. In my mask and scrubs, she didn’t recognize me. She showed me a photo of myself on her phone and said, “I want to look better than this hag my boyfriend is married to. Make me younger so he finally dumps her.” I smiled behind my mask and nodded.
