Love After Divorce by BELLA

Chapter 53:.

The more Stella tried to distance herself from this man, the more she kept running into him. At work, she had no choice but to tolerate him, but now, when she was about to leave, he still wouldn’t let her go! It was clear that he was doing it on purpose.

But those who worked closely with RK were naturally different. Alex stood in front of her, not moving. “Miss Richard, please don’t make things difficult for me. I’m only carrying out the president’s orders.”

Stella, increasingly frustrated, blurted out: “There are so many people in the secretariat! Why did you choose me? I just arrived in the country and I’ve only been in the office for a few days. I don’t even know most of the work – why should I go?”

At noon, this man canceled her lunch break and docked half of her pay. Now, as she was about to leave work, he still didn’t want to let her go!

Alex, still firm, replied, “Miss Richard, if the president asked you to go, then you have to go. Besides, the president said this will help you understand his habits in no time.”

Stella thought it was ridiculous. To learn his habits? In a short time? She had been with him for three years and knew his habits inside out. Why did she have to start learning them all over again?

Stella rolled her eyes.

Alex continued, “Miss Richard, it is not a waste of time to work overtime. Didn’t the president dock your salary earlier? He said that if you attended the meeting with him, you would get your salary back.”

Stella was not interested in anything else, but the mention of her salary caught her attention. She had been upset ever since her paycheck was docked for no reason at noon. Now that she had a chance to get it back, of course she wanted to!

However, Stella kept grumbling, “The lunch break deduction wasn’t my fault! Why did everyone else get a break and I didn’t?”

Besides, she knew that this man was pulling her leg. In the past, he couldn’t stand to see her happy, and now he wouldn’t even let her have lunch! And if that wasn’t enough, he also wanted to take time away from her after work!

This man was infuriating. Did the president have too much time on his hands? Was he sitting around all day thinking of ways to make his life miserable? Didn’t he have a child at home? Didn’t he have to go home early to take care of the child?

Alex placed a piece of paper on the table in front of her. “Miss Richard, this is the dress the president has asked you to wear when you accompany him tonight.”
