Ex-husband’s Regret by Lean

I was completely dumbfounded.

I looked at the email over and over again as if I was trying to confirm something.

I wasn't seeing things.

Jessica suddenly became the director of the Design Department, my superior.

"Do you know her, Charlotte?"

Jane could tell that something wasn't right. She reached out and waved her in front of my eyes as she tried to guess what was going on.

I put down my phone. "Yes, she's Ryan's stepsister that I told you about before."

After graduation, my roommates went their separate ways. But Jane and I had been good friends throughout university. We promised each other to stay in Jelaston and not go anywhere else.

"Fuck! So she got this position because she's Ryan's stepsister?" cursed Jane.

I was rendered speechless.

'She's probably more than just his stepsister,' I said inwardly.

"Is Ryan out of his mind?" Jane continued to complain. "Why does she get to be the director? I've never heard of her in the design industry before, but Ryan just gave her the position of director. What about you? What are you to him..."

"Alright, alright." I interrupted and said softly, "It's not important at all. He'll give it to me when he wants to."

'There would be someone else giving me this position even if he didn't want to,' I added inwardly.

We were in the canteen, so it wasn't necessary to say some things out loud.

It was to prevent others from using my words to make a fuss.

Jane knew me well enough to know what I was thinking about.

After leaving the canteen, she looked around to make sure that there was no one around us and then asked sneakily, "Have you got other plans?"

I cocked my brows. "Have a guess."

"Please tell me, Charlotte."
