After Divorce Billionaire Ex Found Me Pregnant

And the game had continued, neither backing down. And in a matter of days, it had become a menace to society as each move their company caused, resulted in the sky rise of the market. But either of them cared.

"You don't look worried," Lloyd stated, walking around Gabriel's desk and seating on the

edge. "You're not worried?"

"I'm not," Gabriel confirmed, pushing the papers in front of him away. He stood up, taking a glance at his watch, and then the window. The sky outside was dark and rain was pelting against the windows, not hard enough to cause a storm, but hard enough to keep someone like Gabriel, who had an important meeting to attend, stuck inside the building.

"Of course you're not. The two of you don't seem worried in the least bit because it's either of who'

suffering the consequences of your actions." Pushing him off the table, Lloyd faced his friend. "Tell me, what's this all about, again?"

Gabriel's gaze fell to the floor before it slowly rose to stick in the falling rain again. "Nothing that you need to concern yourself with. This is between I and that woman." He dismissed.

Lloyd, having heard this same answer for the past few days, sighed in resignation.

"Uh, Mr. Bryce," Bill returned into the office, phone held close to his ear. "I think we have a problem."

"The Senator wants to have a meeting with that Bastard and I?" Leonica questioned her assistant who had just gotten off the phone half an hour ago with, Chloe, the assistant of Norway's Senator.

"That is what Ms. Chloe said, Ms. Romero." He affirmed. "They say you should come alone since you and Mr. Bryce are the two major heads of the business chambers and that it's only reasonable for the two of you to discuss this issue and reach a solution." Leonica scoffed loudly, but still asked. "Can I refuse?"

Kennedy shot her a look that clearly spelt; are you even listening to yourself. This is the Senator requesting your audience

for fuck's sake!

Sighing, she leaned back into her chair. "When's the meeting set for?"

Kennedy glanced at his watch. "8pm."

Tomorrow?

It was the assistant's turn to smile wickedly as he shakes his head. "No, today." Leonica's eyes. widened slightly. "That leaves you with approximately five hours to get ready, Ms. Leonica Romero."

Meandering through the hallway of Celca-Lodge dressed in a black jumpsuit, outer suit of matching color and red heels, that she had only put together a few hours ago, Leonica cursed her assistant from underneath her breath.

She was almost certain that he had delayed as much time before informing her of the arranged

time.

One way or another, she'd have to punish him for that stunt he pulled.

Replacing the menacing smile that had crept to her lips with a more serene one, Leonica approached the woman standing in front of the designated room they conference between she, Gabriel and the Senator was meant to be held in. "Good evening, Ms. Romero," The assistant, Chloe, bowed as soon as she recognized the approaching figure.
