Nine months too late: After divorce by Baby Charlene

Chapter 16

Sylvie scoffed at the formalities. Seriously!

"Well, from the look of things, you've concluded it wasn't business related, she muttered as she dropped her phone

"Am I wrong?"

She rolled her eyes. Do you need something?

He let out a short mirthless laugh. "You're here on a contract, Ms. Price. You shouldn't seem pestered each time I walk into your office."

She hurt him. He didn't know it yet, but she did. And he was going to harm her if he gets to know. And with Lancelot in the picture, having knowledge and evidence of that day, she feared it might not be long.

"So, whenever you walk in here, I'm just expected to stay mute, is that it?" She decided to keep her wit anyway

Sylvie clinched her hands. He'll never stop being a jerk, will he

"Anyway, I need a file on plan C. Have it prepared and brought to my office as soon as possible. I have a board meeting to attend in an hour time. I hope the file will be ready by the time I'm back," he ordered and left, while Sylvie displayed eye- rolling. Sylvie applauded herself for being able to withhold her cravings for several hours. It was past eleven, and she couldn't stop checking the time.
