Between Ruin And Resolve: My Ex-Husband’s Regret

Chapter 48

Chapter 48:

Taking a deep, calming breath to quell the rising storm of indignation, Kyla masked her frustration with a practiced, serene smile and sat next to Noah with graceful nonchalance. Her voice was light, almost airy, as she chimed in, “Mr. Dominguez, perhaps there’s been a slight misunderstanding. In truth, Noah was the one behind this proposal. Sadie was merely assisting in its delivery. The main thing, of course, is your satisfaction with the work.”

Her words, wrapped in a veil of politeness, were designed not just to set the record straight but to subtly diminish Sadie’s role to that of a simple intermediary.

Roy, a seasoned judge of character from years of encountering diverse personalities, swiftly grasped the hidden intentions in Kyla’s cautious words. With a discerning glance, his features subtly shifted to a frown, reflecting his displeasure.

He was no stranger to whispers of Kyla’s past with Noah, and her recent reappearance had already sparked rumors among their circles. Despite Noah’s lingering affection for his former lover, Roy was resolute in disregarding her.

Roy cleared his throat pointedly, his gaze piercing as it swept across Noah and Kyla, finally anchoring on Noah with a significant weight. “Mr. Wall, I would appreciate a moment to discuss our potential collaboration in private at your earliest convenience. Given that you have company today, perhaps we should postpone our conversation.” His words hung heavy in the air, amplifying the tension.

Kyla’s expression hardened, a mix of regret and embarrassment crossing her features as she realized her misstep had soured the mood. Just as she was gearing up to defuse the tension, Roy abruptly stood and exited the room.
