Sweet Divorce
Chapter 81 Chase Her Back
“Come see me at my office.”
Jacob’s voice rang again on the phone, Rita frowned.
Bewildered, Rita asked, “Why?”
“It’s about the authorization and copyright of your design work.” Jacob took a look at Rolex as he explained. “See you in three minutes.”
“I…”
Jacob hung up before she finished.
Holding her phone, Rita shook her head.
Like attracts like. Jacob became domineering by association with Liam.
She put her phone aside and resumed her packing. It’s not until when she finished packing that she set out to Jacob’s office.
Right now in Jacob’ office, Liam sat on the couch cross-legged, his fingers tapping on the armrest. He took a glance outside the office.
One minute.
Two minutes.
Three minutes. And the hallway was still empty.
Liam’s face darkened for an instant.
He stared at Jacob, “Where is she?”
His voice, solemn, gave Jacob chills and had him sweat over his back. “Be patient, Liam, haste makes waste.’
Liam responded him curtly with an “Oh”. He shifted his position on the couch. “Just so you know, there’s only one hour left before you can punch out.”
Jacob’s mouth twitched at his “friendly” reminder.
Why are you always dragging me into your love drama with Rita?
I want no part of this?
Damn you, Liam.
Jacob cursed, but only inside himself.
Jacob kept his eyes at the door apprehensively, praying: Rita, come on, my life is in your hands now.
The clock kept ticking.
Another ten minutes passed, and Rita still hadn’t showed up.
Jacob’s palms sweat at a glance at Liam.
He reached his phone out stealthily, trying to call Rita. The door was pushed open as he tried to dial.
“Sorry, I’m late.”
Rita’s arrival relieved Jacob. “It’s ok, you came, and that’s enough.”
“Let’s get straight into it now that you’re here.” Sitting on the couch, Liam handed a contract to Rita. “This is the labor contract I asked my layer to draft. Take a look, and sign it if you find it acceptable.”
“Labor contract?” wasn’t it just about buying the copyright?
