Easton's expression turned gloomy at Natalie's words. "Natalie, is getting a divorce all you've been thinking about?"

Natalie's voice was lively with a barely contained excitement. "You're the one who's been pushing for a divorce, right? It's Monday, and the courthouse is open. If you're ready to file, I'm ready to get up and go." He sounded annoyed. "Where's my silver tie? The one you put away."

Natalie glanced at her phone, confirming it was Easton calling. "You've got to be kidding me. You're calling your ex-wife about a tie? Ask Jennifer; she's always in your space. Unless it's about the divorce, don't call me again."

Thinking it was Easton, she snapped upon answering, "What is it now?" A hearty chuckle resonated through the phone, and Natalie knew it was Maurice.

"Natalie, are you okay? Did I disturb your sleep?" His calming baritone immediately eased her irritation.

Hearing Maurice's voice, Natalie sat up, her smile reappearing. "Mr. Chambers, no worries at all. How can I assist you?"

"Last night you mentioned you're multilingual. Do you know Ardonian? I need a translator tomorrow; my partners are from Ardonia." His soothing tone sent a thrill through her, and she was keen to help.
