“Yeah,” Rebecca said with an indifferent air. “I hope you actually mean it. We’ll see each other in a month.”
She didn’t pause for a second, striding purposefully toward Ian and Jessica who were waiting just ahead.
Jeffrey watched as she laughed and joked with them, climbing into their car without the slightest glance back. He just stood there, rooted to the spot, long after their car had rolled out of sight, a dull ache settling in his chest.
“Boss,” Gregory began, hesitating.
Jeffrey kept his face blank. “Just say it.”
Gregory pressed his lips together, then finally blurted, “If you really can’t get over Ms. Jensen, why not just talk it out with her? Mr. Garcia did go a bit far that day, but honestly, he wasn’t completely off the mark.”
Jeffrey answered, “No need.”
‘I’ll keep every promise I’ve ever made! Jeffrey thought to himself.
‘I’m going to prove to Marcus and the others that a promise from me means pushing to the very end–no matter what it takes,‘ he resolved silently.
“Are you really ready to let Ms. Jensen go for good?” Gregory said quietly. “By your agreement, once the divorce is settled, you’re never supposed to let her see you again—ever.”
Jeffrey remained silent, then simply walked away.
The next month flew by.
Jeffrey focused intently on his recovery, pouring every ounce of energy into the endless company affairs, big or small, never giving himself a chance to dwell on Rebecca or the looming divorce.
Rebecca was just as busy as Jeffrey, throwing herself into company business day and night.
She hustled hard, learning all the ropes of management, and doing her homework on the Quinns and all the other big–name families in Honnala.
Apart from spending a little time with Samuel every day, every minute was given over to cramming info and keeping up with everything—even meals were spent glued to her phone, catching up on details.
One day, Ian came by to see her.
He watched as she finished her meal in just five minutes and headed upstairs, a flicker of worry crossing his face. “Amelia, has Becky been like this lately?”
Amelia nodded. “Yeah.”
“Aren’t you going to say something to her?” Ian asked, noticing she’d gotten noticeably thinner in just half a
