Sweet Divorce

“Rita, let’s go.”

Liam’s voice rang again and brought her to the elevator grabbing her waist while Rita was still stuck in disbelief.

The jaws of the staff were all over the floor at the sight of this.

Who is this guy? Was the boss possessed by ghosts? He’s never been so gentle before!

The staff gathered around soon as Rita and Liam were out of earshot.

“Holy shit. Is there something wrong with my ear? I just think Mr. Liam’s voice sounds so gentle today.”

“You’re the only one who thinks so. And it’s not just gentle, it’s spoiling.”

The staff all nodded in agreement. And in unison, they turned to study Rita, curiosity filled them.

“Who’s this woman? She just melts an ice-berg.”

Jacob entered while they were wondering. “The C.E.O just called her his wife. Who do you think she is?”

“She’s Mr. Liam’s wife?” someone blurted, and Jacob admitted silently with his hands fanned out.

“But people say that Mr. Liam doesn’t love his wife.” The receptionist asked curiously.

Yeah, the rumor was true once.

But it’s the past now.

And now…

Jacob peered at Liam on the back, his mouth twitching. Now, Liam’s crazy in love with Rita.

“Seeing is believing, girl.”

The receptionist paused, then realized what Jacob meant.

Nobody in the company knew Rita. However, everyone knew how close Jacob and Liam were.

Since Jacob said that Rita was Liam’s wife, no one would doubt that anymore. Some of the staff started to fret, worrying that Rita might have heard what they said.

And some girls were filled with jealousy when they looked at Rita.

Rita was oblivious of people’s change in attitude after she left. She just followed Liam into the elevator.

The door closed. And for an instant, Rita took a step to the right to keep a distance with Liam.

She took what Liam had done out there as a show he put up for grandpa’s spies.

Silence fell in as they entered the elevator.

Finally, Liam broke the silence. “Have lunch with me today. I’ll ask Secretary Kim to arrange it.”
