Chapter 20
He covered it with his sleeve again before he had figured it out, and looked quietly out of the window.
Jack saw that Braiden didn’t speak, so he glanced at him again secretly. For some reason, Mr. Ferguson looked particularly lonely today.
When she got home, Cynthia saw a missed call from Zaiden and didn’t answer
Zaiden was persistent and kept calling, maybe because he didn’t want to meet her in person, so he sent her a message.
Giovanna’s antics with the ingredients in the juice hunt Belinda’s stomach, who just had an abortion. The problem is more serious and could potentially last a lifetime. He plans to sue Giovanna unless Cynthia comes over to apologize.
Following that, he added, “He had already called Jocelynn.”
Not long after, Jocelynn’s phone rang
Cynthia didn’t answer either. Zaiden’s behavior of threatening to tell parents at every turn is really disgraceful.
Jocelynn sent a message, Cynthia didn’t even look at it, and the lawyer happened to reply to her, asking about her situation.
I want to get divorced as soon as possible, preferably without delay.”
“You were introduced by Giovanna, who is my friend. Luckily, I know someone at the court. Don’t worry, I can talk to him and arrange it as soon as possible.”
Thank you so much, I will treat you to a meal later.”
“No need to be so polite.”
The matter of divorce has been settled, Cynthia just wanted to lie in bed and have a good sleep.
The next day.
Cynthia went to work and Zaiden was already waiting for her downstairs at her company.
His face darkened, as if Cynthia owed him billions.
Cynthia didn’t feel like there was anything else to say between them, so she tried to leave directly, but Zaiden grabbed her wrist.
“Zaiden, let go.”
“Come over here. If you don’t come with me, I’ll make sure everyone sees.”
Cynthia had known him for so long, but she never knew he could be so despicable and shameless.
She sent a message to Kendall and then followed him out.
Zaiden wanted to take her to the hospital, but Cynthia just shrugged him off.
“I didn’t go, let whoever go.”
Zaiden looked at her in disbelief, “How did you become like this?”
Cynthia ignored him.
“Belinda recently had a music variety show, Giovanna messed up her voice like that, she couldn’t go on stage, and she took the money. Shouldn’t you be responsible?”
“Or are you still retaliating just because we asked you to do it that day? I’ve explained to you so many times, we didn’t expect that to happen.”
hia stared at him and said, “You’re right, I didn’t know she had a music variety show. I have no idea what her schedule is.”

hia smiled lightly and said, Zaiden, how long do you think it has been since we sat down and had a good chat? Ever since da came to your house, we have been arguing non–stop every day. Do you think this kind of life is interesting?

lall looked puzzled, but still did as she was told.
thia did come to see the client, but the client was accompanied by Braiden.
in Cynthia saw Braiden, she was about to say hello, but he immediately looked down at his phone, as if he was busy.
customer greeted Cynthia busily, “Sorry, Ms. Shepherd, we were supposed to meet just the two of us, but I rarely get to see Ferguson, so we came together. I hope you don’t mind.”
thia sat down with a professional smile and said, “How could I not? It’s my pleasure to have dinner with Mr. Ferguson.”

over.
But he seemed not to look up, let alone to speak to her.
The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.”
Cynthia felt she should say something.
“Mr. Ferguson…”
As soon as he opened his mouth, Braiden’s phone rang, and he answered it.
Cynthia was helpless.
Some things couldn’t be avoided for too long. She hoped to apologize to him as soon as possible and make a date with him for the next meal, but the timing was never right.
The customer came back, ordered the dishes, and said to the two of them, How about ordering some more?”
I didn’t drink!”
Cynthia and Braiden were talking together, they looked at each other, and Braiden was the first to look away.
The custom
customer paused for a moment, smiling at the two of them, “Okay, I still have work in the afternoon, so I won’t drink if 1 don’t drink. By the way, Ms. Shepherd and Mr. Ferguson have always been arch rivals. This should be the first time you have dinner together. I am truly honored to have both of you sitting at the same table.”
Cynthia had a splitting headache, it was a case of the pot calling the kettle black,” but she understood that the client didn’t know any better, so she didn’t blame him.
“In the business world, it’s just like this. There are no permanent enemies, only permanent friends. Today we are having a meal together, and perhaps there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future.”
The customer had been saying nice things to both of them, but when he saw Braiden was not interested, he stopped talking.
The following is all about work.
Cynthia repeated her current thoughts, and the client kept praising ber, saying, “Ms. Shepherd, how can I not want to chat with you? Your insights are truly amazing. It’s a good thing you are in this profession, otherwise it would be missing such an excellent worker like you.”
“Misunderstood! I was just simply stating my opinion.”
The customer suddenly noticed the bracelet on Braiden’s wrist and said, “Mr. Ferguson, your bracelet is very special. Was it given to you by someone important?”
