Back in Time: Unshackling From Love

Chapter 5

“Bring me a pen!” Jerome demanded.

“Mr. Miller, Mr. Diego is still waiting for you to sign the contract. Time is running out,” Mike reminded him in a hushed voice.

The Miller Group had been diligently negotiating a crucial collaboration for an extended period, and Mikayla nearly jeopardized it.

Jerome ignored Mikayla and hastily walked toward the exit with Mike.

“Jerome!” Mikayla chased after him.

“Get her away from me!”

Several bodyguards surrounded Mikayla once Jerome gave the order.

Aware of Jerome’s workaholic nature and the unlikelihood of him having time for a divorce today, she shouted, “See you at City Hall tomorrow at 9:00 am!”

Jerome got into the waiting car and promptly left.

Mikayla pondered whether he would show up but quickly ascertained that he would, as Jerome was eager to be rid of her.

Mikayla felt relieved at that thought.

Back at the villa, she logged into her long–neglected email account. There were several job invitations from investment banks.

Instead of instantly trashing them like she used to, she opened each one. Unfortunately, all the offers had expired.

She forfeited an opportunity from a prestigious investment bank, an institution coveted by numerous financial elites, just to cater to the selfish whims of Jerome.

Filled with regret, she vowed to plan her life more meticulously to avoid being blinded by romantic relationships.

After sending out a few job applications, Mikayla thought about the impending divorce with Jerome the next day and felt relieved.
