Divorce Me Before Death Takes Me, CEO

Chapter 131

Audrey’s POV

“Audrey, come to my office for a moment.”

The next morning, I’d barely stepped through the studio’s doors when George Mei’s voice called out to me. With a sigh, I made my way to his office, where the balding middle–aged man sat behind his desk with an unusually bright smile. He pushed a document across the desk toward me.

“You did great work yesterday,” he said. “Mr. Parker from Parker Group wants our studio to provide jewelry for his future fiancée and sister at major events, and he specifically requested you to handle. it. His eyes studied my face. “You knew about this, right?”

I nodded. After Blake’s phone call yesterday at the photoshoot, I’d expected this conversation – just not this early in the morning. The ink on my divorce papers was barely dry, and here was Blake, already inserting himself back into my life.

George’s expression turned serious. “I know your relationship with Mr. Parker and his fiancée is… complicated… but this is a huge opportunity we can’t miss.” He gestured toward the document. “Your designs need this kind of attention to succeed. Don’t you agree?”

“I understand,” I replied simply.

Seeing I wasn’t objecting, George brightened. He pushed the contract closer. “This supplements your employment agreement. From now on, you’ll be both designer and jewelry assistant for Miss Rose and Miss Parker.” He cleared his throat. “Triple workload… You’ll need to take care of them

perfectly.”

I frowned slightly as I glanced at the contract. Then I decisively picked up the pen and signed the document. After all, this was about getting my designs to market, not about my feelings.

I pushed the contract back across the desk.

“Has the client provided feedback on my design proposal?” I asked.

George looked startled by my calmness. “Yes, yes, they have!”
