Love After Divorce by BELLA

Chapter 268:

When Stella entered the lounge, RK was resting on the sofa. He appeared to have fallen asleep from exhaustion, with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. It seemed like he had been in pain before she arrived. Not wanting to disturb him, she poured a cup of hot water and set it aside, ready for him to take his medicine when he woke up.

She fetched a quilt and tucked him in, watching him for a moment. He seemed unlikely to wake soon, perhaps too tired. Deciding against waiting, she set the medicine and glass of water on the table. Just as she was about to leave, RK stirred and woke up.

“Oh, you didn’t bring the medicine, so I…” She hesitated, realizing there was no point in hiding her concern for him. “Hurry up and take your medicine. I’ll take my leave.”

“Wait a minute, I’ve had my men get lunch. Stay and eat with me,” RK cleared his throat, extending an invitation to her.

“Oh,” Stella replied, a bit uncertain but obediently sitting down.

Soon, the assistant returned with lunch. Upon entering the president’s lounge, the assistant was confused to find a woman sitting there with RK. He had never seen anyone else in the lounge with the president before, especially not a woman. Who was this unfamiliar woman?

Stella caught the assistant’s confused expression but said nothing. She silently followed RK to the table.

After delivering the lunch, the assistant left the office, still puzzled by what he had seen. As he left, he ran into Alex, RK’s trusted aide, returning from his meal.

“Hey, Alex, who’s that girl in the president’s lounge? I’ve never seen her before.”
