After the Divorce: Crushed on My Lawyer Ex-wife

#15 “Where are We Regarding A Proposal?”

Once Alexander had made the directive about terminating all collaboration with Crimms, his mood appeared to lighten. However, Steven couldn’t shake off the unease that lingered within him.

“However, that is not the original reason I wanted to meet,” Alexander responded. “I have a new client I need you to meet with.”

Emily’s eyes darted towards the door, a playful smile spreading across her face. “They’re here!” she exclaimed, excitement evident in her voice.

As the couple approached the table, Alexander eagerly extended his hand and vigorously shook the man’s hand, his enthusiasm apparent. On the other hand, the woman let out a cheerful laugh and pulled Alexander into a warm embrace.

“Steven Mhyler, this is Daniel and Barbara Williams, Emily’s parents,” Alexander introduced a sense of dignity in his voice. The air filled with a flurry of greetings, hellos, and friendly handshakes, while everyone settled down at the table.

“What can I get you all to drink?” the waiter asked, breaking the pleasant buzz of excitement filling the air.

Once the wine arrived and Alexander offered a charming toast, the atmosphere shifted from casual chatter to the business at hand. Alexander wasted no time and dived straight into the heart of the meeting.

“Steven, as you know, we have withdrawn all our funds from Crimms International Bank and Savings,” Alexander stated. Steven nodded nervously, the memory of his conversation with Sophia just before Alexander’s arrival still fresh in his mind.

“Well, the next step is to move that money into Barbara’s bank,” Alexander continued, his gaze unwavering.
