How My Ex Became My Next

Chapter 40

Gilda received a message. It was from Braydon.

Braydon: [Gilly, did you miss me? Your dearest brother missed you so much! I’ll see you in Frencia later.]

Gilda felt goosebumps rise on her skin as she quickly typed on her phone.

Gilda: [No.]

After the message was sent, Gilda turned to her assistant and said, “You can sign for it for me, and then distribute the flowers to female colleagues in the company.”

“OK.” The assistant left the office.

After that, Gilda continued to read the document when Cheney Lewis, the director of the Expansion Department, knocked on the door and came in.

“Good morning, Ms. Lynch,” said Cheney.

Cheney walked to Gilda’s desk and handed over the folder. His eyes flashed with a hidden shrewdness as he said, “This is this month’s income statement. Please have a look.”

Gilda didn’t take it. She just looked at Cheney indifferently and asked, “What’s the matter, Mr. Lewis?”

Then Gilda glanced at the document in Cheney’s hand and said, “You could just leave it to my assistant. Why bother?”

Cheney’s smile grew warmer, though there was a hint of discomfort as he feigned nervousness. “Ms. Lynch, here’s the thing. I acted foolishly at the last meeting and inadvertently offended you.”
