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

Chapter 65

Seeing the call was from the director, Estrella answered directly through the car’s speakerphone, “Hey.”

“Estrella, you rocked that courtroom today. The whole legal beehive’s buzzing about the case. Got a few companies just rang up asking about you; looks like they want you on their legal team.”

“Alright, I’ll head to the office now and we can chat more then.”

“Estrella, you haven’t grabbed a bite yet, have you? What do you fancy? I’ll order something. Steak and pepper potpie, right? I’ll get it ordered so it’s hot and ready when you arrive.”

“Thanks, Logan.”

Even after hanging up, the smile lingered on Estrella’s face, her spirits clearly lifted. Winning a case always gave her a sense of accomplishment, a feeling that life was truly meaningful. This joy was something she couldn’t find under the comfortable shade of her family’s business.

A short drive later, she arrived at the law firm, devoured the potpie the director had ordered for her, and plunged back into her work with full gusto.

At half-past eight, Grayson called to say they were knocking back a few at the bar and invited her over. Only then did Estrella realize the office was empty and work hours were long over.

Having just wrapped up her tasks, she stretched, shut down her computer, packed her files, and clocked out.

Bryce chimed in hurriedly, “Didn’t we settle my debt already? What’s this about?”

Bryce’s pitiful look earned him a tap of ash from Jason’s cigarette. “Let’s talk about the debt you racked up hiding out at Estrella’s.”

Thomas had begged Estrella over the phone to save his skin. And Estrella had agreed to go through the divorce, even if it was real. Thomas believed that if he showed up on Estrella’s doorstep himself, he was sure to
