There He Is Again My Ex Husband by Emily Jenkins

David left for his hometown the next morning and he called Maisie before he left.

"Steven told me you've known he's established a company in Riverside City. He had an appointment with me at lunch break today for some consultations. But I've asked for a leave now. Can you please help him for me?"

David told Maisie on the phone.

"OK. I'll meet him," said Maisie.

David had to be out of town for family issues and Maisie just couldn't refuse to help Steven, though she had tried hard to keep her distance from him.

David groaned after they finished talking business, "Are you in a team with Ezra now, or does teamwork makes it work? How could you tell him to stop me?"

David was annoyed when he talked about it. He knew Ezra called him for nothing good last night. But he didn't expect that Ezra just called to stop him and Maisie must have told him to do so.

David was pissed that Maisie turned to Ezra for help, which made him think they were of one mind.

Maisie pretended she didn't hear his words and said, "I was worried about you."

"I don't worry that you take a plane in the middle of the night. But you have a long way to go after you land. I am just too worried."

Their hometown was remote and isolated. David had to hail a taxi after he landed. It was fine in the daytime. But it would be too dangerous to hail a taxi and wind the mountain road in the middle of the night. Maisie just couldn't watch David take the risk and did nothing.

"I've asked for one day off only. I'll head back in the afternoon," said David.

He was pretty sure that nothing was wrong with Susan. He just wanted to go back home to take a look at them and make himself clear. Then, he would leave.
