Wedding My Ex’s Uncle
Chapter 39
Chapter 39 The Scheme
“Kaia, isn’t that your ex? Looks just like that dude you dated!”
She offered a strained smile. “Jude, when did I ever say he was my boyfriend? And it’s not him! Different guy!”
“Oh, yeah, you’re right. Not exactly the same.”
Jude squinted. “Hmm. Yeah, you’re probably right. My bad-old man memory kicking in.
For a second there, he’d really thought Kaia’s ex was in their work chat.
Kaia managed a weak smile, her gaze dropping to the chat list. The starry night avatar flickered and changed, updated to a fluffy white rabbit.
She slammed her phone face down on the desk, terrified to even glance at the group.
Please, no more questions.
But fate had other ideas.
Jude texted: [Mr. Rhodes, our team’s all set. Looking forward to working with you all!]
Julian texted: [Thanks, Mr. Halston. The new member is Mr. Graves. A pleasure to be working with everyone!]
“Mr. Graves?” Warren gasped.
“Jude, that bunny avatar… That’s Mr. Graves? Wow. He seems so icy in person, but his avatar’s actually kinda cute.”
Jude didn’t dwell on it, though he did find Lucien’s presence in
the chat a bit odd.
“Yeah, well, maybe he’s secretly a softie. Or maybe it’s ironic. Either way, keep it professional in that chat. Most folks have their info up. If it’s sensitive, pick up the phone.”
Lucien joining the chat definitely made Jude uneasy.
The M&A wasn’t just a big deal-it was the deal. For the next few months, this case was going to be their entire world.
