It’s Too Late To Get A Divorce

Alita picked up the phone and said, “Hello!” 

“Miss Thompson, you came to work so punctually. Looks like you’ve recovered from your illness.” A deep and magnetic voice sounded leisurely from the other end, like a ghost in the morning- 

Stunned, Alita immediately recognized who it was. She was very familiar with this voice. Silently, she smiled coldly and replied calmly, “Thank you for your concern, Mr. Lewis. Yes. I’ve recovered, so you can stop worrying about me.” 

In other words, she wanted him to stop being so bored. 

“Oh, how can I not worry? Miss Thompson, you are the backbone of my wedding planning. If you fall ill, who will plan my wedding for me? Right?” Jaydon stood elegantly in front of the floor–to–ceiling window with a smile. 

“That’s right, Mr. Lewis. I still have a lot of things to deal with. Look, if there’s nothing important, I’ll hang up first,” Alita said patiently. He ruined her mood in the morning. 

“Come to my office tomorrow at 10 o’clock sharp. I remember I said I would give you two days to decide on a plan, Jaydon said. 

“Alright! I’ll see you tomorrow then, Mr. Lewis. Goodbye.” Alita ended the conversation quickly. If she continued to waste time with hire, she would not gain any advantage. Instead, it would stimulate his perverted pleasure, and she would become his prey to chase and play with. 

As Jaydon listened to the monotonous beep sound on the phone, the smile on his lips deepened. 

Alita put away the leather bag, and the office door opened, Karen came in with coffee and put it on the table. 

“Alita, are you alright?” Karen asked with concern. 

“I’m fine now,” Alita replied with a faint smile. 

“Oh, you insisted that you were fine the night before yesterday. Otherwise, Crystal, Sabina, and I would have sent you home to look after you.” Karen had only found out about her illness when she received a call from Alita yesterday afternoon. 

Speaking of this, Alita suddenly remembered what happened in the forest. She said, “Karen, go and call Crystal and Sabina in. I have something to talk to you.” 

“Oh, I’ll go get them right away.” Karen turned around and walked out. 

Alita picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip. She worried they would spread the news outside if she did not explain. Though the entire company or city would learn it sooner or later, Alita hoped that it would be after the wedding plan was completed. 

Not long after, Karen, Crystal, and Sabina arrived. The three girls stood in a row in front of her. 

“Alita, what’s the matter?” Crystal asked. 

“Well, go sit on the sofa. Alita stood up and walked straight to the sofa to sit down. 

The three girls followed suit and sat on the sofa opposite Alita. 

Alita sorted out what she wanted to say. Then, she said calmly, “I called you in to talk to you about what happened in the forest. You must be wondering what happened between me and Mr. Lewis, if we have some unspeakable secret, if I have become a third party, or if I secretly fell in love with Mr. Lewis… You must have all kinds of guesses, right?” 

She looked at them with bright eyes. 

The three girls were flustered by her gaze which seemed to be able to see through their minds, 

They all denied it. “Alita, how would we dare to make wild guesses about you and Mr. Lewis?” 

“That’s right. We won’t dare to make wild guesses, and we won’t tell anyone.” 

L 

“Don’t worry, we’ll keep this a secret.” 

Alita smiled and said, “Just say what you think. I want to know your true thoughts, not this kind of sloppy talk. Karen, you tell 

me.” 

Karen looked at Crystal and Sabina with a bitter expression. They also looked troubled. The three of them exchanged glances. 

In the end, Karen turned her head and looked at Alita. She said softly, “Alita, I’ll tell you. This represents the thoughts of the three of us. If I tell you, you’re not allowed to be angry, let alone fire us.” 

“Say it.” Alita smiled happily. 

“We felt something wrong with you in the forest that day. Mr. Lewis treated you differently, so… Karen drawled her voice and closed her eyes. “So we felt that you and Mr. Lewis were having an affair.” 

‘God, please, please don’t fire us.. The three of them prayed silently. 

Alita was not surprised. Anyone with a mind could have told it if they saw that scene. After weighing the pros and cons in her heart, she decided to tell them the truth. It was better than scandals like having an affair. Girls liked to gossip. 

Pursing her lips, she made up her mind. Then, Alita said, “It made sense for you to think so, but I didn’t have an affair with Mr. Lewis. He’s my ex–husband.” 

“What?“The three girls exclaimed at the same time, dumbfounded. 

They were too shocked. They never expected their boss to have such a relationship with Jaydon. What impressed them even more was that Jaydon and Alita usually did not look familiar with each other. 

“Are you surprised? That’s the truth.” Alita smiled helplessly and said, “I hope you can keep this a secret. Before the wedding ends, you can’t say anything in the company. Can you do that?” 

The three girls recovered from their shock and nodded in unison. They thought, ‘No wonder Alita doesn’t like those small managers and so–called rich men. The radiant and handsome Mr. Lewis is the most outstanding one. There should be no man who can compare to him. 

They wanted to ask why they divorced. 

“Alright, all of you can go out and work!” Alita said calmly. She did not want to reveal any more. 

The straightforward Karen couldn’t help but raise her hand and ask, “Alita, since he’s your ex–husband, why did he ask you to plan his wedding? Isn’t he too much? How can he be like this? He’s completely bullying you.” 

“Thinking about it, when Mr. Lewis first came, your reaction wasn’t right. I thought that a big deal had come. I was so happy.” Crystal now understood everything. 

“Let’s not talk about it anymore. Since we’ve already accepted it, we’ll do our best to treat it as an ordinary client, understand?” Alita stopped them from discussing. 

The three girls nodded, got up, and walked out of the office. 

Alita also got up and sat at her desk. She buried her head in her work and sat there for half a day. By the time she finished all the work she had hoarded over the past few days, it was almost one o’clock. 

There was no time to go out for lunch. She still had a meeting in the afternoon to formulate a plan, so she called for takeout. 

After lunch, she pressed the intercom. “Karen, we’ll have a meeting in half an hour. Let all departments get ready.” 

‘Got it‘ 

25 minutes later, Alita walked into the conference room. The people inside were all gathered. 

She sat down and went straight to the point. “Tomorrow at 10 a.m., I’ll hand over the complete plan for this wedding to Mr. Lewis. Now that the wedding and reception venue has been found, the accommodation is booked in a five–star hotel 40 minutes away from the forest. Everyone, come up with a theme for these three scenes. Sabina, take out the photos and show them to everyone.” 

2/4 

Sabina deftly turned on the computer and placed it in the middle of the conference table. The beautiful forest, the fresh and vast green grass, and the gorgeous hotel mesmerized everyone in the conference room. 

“It’s so beautiful. Such a pure place must be decorated in white,” Martin Kurle, the leader of the design department, said excitedly. 

“White!” Alita looked at the picture and imagined the combination of green and white. It was indeed not bad. 

“Alita, just believe me. White is the best color. Use light white gauze to create an ethereal feeling. I have an inspiration now and can design it immediately,” Martin described excitedly. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Alright then. Give me the design tomorrow morning” Alita trusted her subordinate. 

“Absolutely no problem. Martin looked confident. 

“Also, contact the bridal shop and ask them to send over the latest designs and the designs for the invitations. They have to be creative. Make three of them for the client to choose. I believe all of you can hand over these fragmented things to me tomorrow morning. Now, formulate the entire plan. Crystal, you will write a report and let the finance department estimate the budget. Write it in the report. All the above things should be on my desk at 10 am. tomorrow, understand?” Alita looked at everyone with sharp eyes. 

Even if the clock was ticking and the pressure was immense, no one had any objections. 

When she got home at night, Alita looked around the parking lot. After confirming there were no cars belonging to Jaydon, Samuel, and Kim, she went upstairs in relief. 

Pressing the password on the door lock, she thought of how Samuel knew the password yesterday. Although she was sick the day before yesterday, she remembered that she was asleep and could not tell him the password before entering. If she did, she would remember. So, how did that guy know? Could it be that he has magic? Alita wondered. 

As she thought about it, she shivered and quickly changed the password. She did not want Samuel to stand by her bed like a ghost when she was sleeping in the middle of the night. 

After entering the house, she was still worried about locking the door. Then, she turned off her phone and unplugged the phone line. Only then did she rest comfortably 

She was exhausted today. 

The next day, Alita went to the office. The proposal was already on her desk. She opened it and read it carefully. Then, she smiled in satisfaction. 

After putting the proposal into her bag, she drove to Lewis Group. 

At ten to ten, she arrived at the Lewis Group building. She parked the car and took the elevator up. It was almost 10 o’clock when she arrived at the top floor. 

The secretary was not surprised to see her and politely said. “Miss Thompson, Mr. Lewis is waiting for you. Please come in.” 

“Thank you!” Alita smiled and came to the office with her head held high. She knocked twice 

“Come in. Jaydon’s voice sounded inside. 

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Alita pushed the door open and entered. She gently closed the door and walked to Jaydon’s desk. Then, she smiled and said, “Hello, Mr. Lewis!” 

Jaydon raised his wrist and looked at his watch. His smile suddenly became extremely bright. “Miss Thompson, you’re 33 

seconds late. 

‘F*ck the 33 seconds, Alita cursed in her heart. However, she still smiled and apologized on the surface. “Mr. Lewis, I’m sorry for making you wait so long” 

’33 seconds. That is long enough!‘ Alita couldn’t help but want to scold Jaydon.
