After the Divorce: Crushed on My Lawyer Ex-wife

#128 “We can’t Afford Any Slip-ups.

As soon as Megan left Alexander’s office he sighed. Conversations with Megan always put a strain on him, and he doesn’t know how long he can push her away without her having a problem with it.

Alexander texted Kyle that he was waiting for him in his office to talk. Not long after, the journalist entered his office with a big smile.

“Hey, boss man, what’s up?” Kyle greeted, plopping down in a chair across from Alexander’s desk.

Alexander leaned back in his chair, fingers steepled. “Cut the small talk, Kyle. What’s the deal with the investigation? Do you learn something?

Kyle scratched his head, a sheepish smile playing on his lips. “Yeah, about that. I’ve started poking around the core business, but digging up the real dirt is gonna be a bit of a slow burn.”

Alexander leaned forward, his expression serious. “Time is of the essence, Kyle. We need to wrap this up quickly. What’s the holdup?”

Kyle shrugged, “You know how these things go. It’s like peeling an onion. Layers, man. But don’t worry, I got this. Alexander sighed, rubbing his temples. “Just get to the bottom of it. We need key information, and we need it fast.”

The two men delved into the details of the investigation, strategizing and dissecting the intricacies of the case. As they talked, Kyle couldn’t resist injecting a bit of levity into the conversation.

“Speaking of risks, man, you’re out here playing detective for Sophia while she’s probably living it up in Vegas with my cousin. Priorities, my friend,” Kyle chuckled.

Alexander’s face darkened at the mention of Sophia. The casual remark hit a nerve, aggravating an already somber mood. “What is she doing in Vegas? And why is she with your cousin?” he asked.

“My girlfriend Evelyn and Sophia went to Vegas to ‘let loose’, and my charming cousin is playing guide. If I were you, I’d be worried. Sandro is a squeamish flatterer.”
