Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom

Michelle's sudden appearance startled me. Why was she here so early in the morning?

After calling me, she nodded and bowed toward Atlas's car obsequiously.

I closed the car door, looked at her, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Oh... It's nothing important. I was just thinking, and I might have gone too far. Nana instigated it all, and I said the wrong things. You're the bigger person here, Chloe, so don't..." She trailed off, trying to apologize.

I glanced at her coldly, not wanting to engage, and said indifferently, "If you're sincere about your apology, then go back. I have things to do."

After saying that, I walked toward the building.

She followed me closely. "Won't you invite me into your office to chat, Chloe? I haven't been to your company yet."

"I'm busy today. Sorry, I have no time to show you around." I refused decisively. Since she had come to apologize so early in the morning, she must have ulterior motives. I didn't have time to deal with her. "Oh, come on, why are you being like this? I don't need you to take me anywhere. I just want to see what your company looks like. We're classmates. That makes us practically family." She clung to me like a parasite, unwilling to let go.

As we reached the entrance, we ran into Carol. Before I could say anything, my phone rang again. I checked, and it was Adrian.
