Nine months too late: After divorce by Baby Charlene

c Chapter 83

When Sylvie learned that Kage had lost the vote, she was furious and felt really bad for Kage. Somehow, she felt bad because she used to be in a relationship with Westley. Evelyn was right. Westley had lost his mind and wanted by all means to ruin Kage. But she wasn't going to let him.

"I've told you, it's fine. You have nothing to worry about," Kage said for what felt like the hundredth time as he poured himself another glass of wine at the counter, while Sylvie seethed in the living room behind him. "You keep saying that. But he's the one leading the project, not you. What can we possibly do to stop him?" There were wrinkled lines on her forehead.

"We?" Kage chuckled, turning to look as he sipped from his glass. "I don't think there'll be any 'we', Sylvie. This is my Group. It's my responsibility to fix it."

"I know. But it it doesn't mean you can't accept help."

"Well. what can you possibly do? Slap him? Yell at him and ask him to resign?" He laughed. "This isn't a battle for girls, honey."

"Seriously?" She rolled her eyes. "You think that it is all I can do? It's obvious you don't know me." Well, I think I do"

do.

Setting down his glass, he strode over to sit beside her on the couch, putting a hand over her shoulder. "But really, you should stop worrying. I'll handle this."

Sylvie's shoulders relaxed a bit, but she still seemed bothered as she looked at him. "If you say so."

Taking a deep breath, she put her head on his shoulder, loving how it felt. She hoped they could remain this way with nothing coming between them. For once in her life, she wished she could truly be happy. Kage's phone buzzed to life, ringing on the table. It was close enough for both of them to take a peek.

Sylvie's stomach churned when she discovered it was Lana.

It was evening already. Why was she calling - Sylvie thought.

They glanced at each other before Kage sat up and reached for the phone.

Sylvie forced herself not to have any negative thoughts as she watched him answer the call.

But it wasn't Lana who spoke from the other end. “Hi, Kage. It's Mia.”

Mia was Lana's younger sister. Kage's brows furrowed, wondering why Mia would be calling with Lana's phone.

"Uh... Hi, Mia. Is everything okay?" He reclined in the couch.
