30 Days till I Divorce My Husband (Estrella and Jason)

Chapter 42

No sooner had Erin stepped out of Jason’s office than Estrella breezed in, clutching a sheaf of documents in her hand. With a smile, she pulled out the chair opposite Jason’s desk. “Heard you had someone rough up Erin last night.”

Jason looked up. “Isn’t that what you wanted to see?”

Estrella’s smile widened. “You know me so well, huh?”

As she sat down, she tossed a playful barb his way. “You’d make a perfect husband if you only liked me a bit more.”

Before Jason could respond, Estrella handed over the documents, getting back to business. “The legal department says you need to sign off on these.”

He took the papers, but Jason’s thoughts lingered on her earlier quip about his lack of affection. He skimmed the document briefly before scribbling his signature at the bottom, next to the “Party A” section.

Estrella collected the signed papers. “So cooperative! I should reward you with a surprise tonight.”

Jason was unmoved. “I’ll pass.” The only surprises Estrella offered were the kind you’d rather avoid.

“Oh, come on, we’re an old married couple now. No need for formalities!” she said with al chuckle, standing up.

Just then, Jason’s phone buzzed. He appeared busy with work, so Estrella whispered a goodbye. Her face was beaming with satisfaction as she left his office.

In the corridor, right after Estrella’s departure, Serene rounded the corner. Spotting Estrella, she approached with a smile. “Hey, Estrella.”

With a nonchalant “hmm,” Estrella acknowledged her. Serene glanced at the documents. “You were getting Jason to sign off on these, right?”

After her remark, she grabbed Estrella’s arm, whispering urgently, “I never touched anything in your room the other night. I just sat by your dresser all evening, and Jason, he also…”

Before Serene could finish, Estrella cut her off. “Serene, live your own life and don’t ruin it for yourself.”

If Serene hadn’t brought it up, Estrella would have almost forgotten. She was not sure if Serene was genuinely explaining or not.

Serene looked troubled, speaking softly, “I know. I just didn’t want you to get the wrong

idea.”
