Chapter 192

Before Estrella could even utter a word, the clerk, obviously impatient, snapped, “Don’t you know about these stuff? Get your divorce finalized before you come back here.” With that, they briskly summoned the next person, “Next.”

Gripping the documents that had been dismissively returned to her, Estrella could feel her temperature rising.

Three years, and Jason still hadn’t sorted it out? He hadn’t mentioned a thing when she bumped into him yesterday. He didn’t say anything about the paperwork being incomplete.

Clutching the papers, Estrella stormed out of the city hall, fuming over Jason’s apparent lax approach to handling their divorce. So, she hopped into her car and drove straight to Nelson International.

Jason had just returned to the office from a meeting when he noticed a sleek white BMW parked outside the company entrance. Although he couldn’t see who was inside, his curiosity was instantly piqued..

Drew, trailing behind Jason, frowned at the sight of the BMW blocking the entrance. Then, his eyes widened in recognition, “Mr. Jason, looks like that’s Ms. Estrella’s ride.”

Estrella had only just returned to town, but after Jason had mentioned her that morning, Drew had made a point of digging up everything he could about her – where she lived, what she drove, and what she was up to all crystal clear.

Jason nodded, “You head up, Drew. Take the lead on the next meeting.”

“Sure thing, Mr. Jason,” Drew replied, before heading inside.
