Chapter 10

"Divorced? How is that possible? Hello? Mrs. Forbes? Hello!"

The accountant held the phone. He was dumbfounded.

Just a moment ago he saw Zayn's high-profile declaration of love in the news. And now she said they were divorced?

Were the wealthy always that capricious?

But without her footing the bill, how was he supposed to do with the bills?

At the hotel reception, Mason handed over his identification to check in while Josephine stood to the side, reviewing the bills sent by the accountant.

The payment was made to a resort hotel, and the booking was for the couple's suite.

She recalled mentioning that hotel to Zayn and he promised to take her there during a holiday when he had the time.

He never kept that promise.

But now, he suddenly had time, just not for her.

She couldn't understand.

Nadine could flaunt her relationship and stomp on her dignity all she wanted.

But why did Zayn allow it?

Was he blinded by love or had their three years meant nothing to him at all?

As she was silently glad she had left in time and avoided being the fool to reimburse the mistress' expenses, a man with blonde hair suddenly approached the counter.

The man stood tall at 6'2" and had his shirt collar hung open casually, revealing taut chest muscles. With one side of his shirt tucked into the pants, his long legs seemed to extend endlessly from the waist, like a sculpture brought to life. Was he a model?

Even Josephine, who was used to seeing handsome and beautiful faces, couldn't help but glance at him.

But that single glance was enough for the man to notice. He turned his head, locked eyes with her, and curled his lips into a mischievous smile before blowing her a kiss.

Flippant that was Josephine's first impression of him, she quickly looked away, unwilling to engage.
