Divorced 93
Aveline had just sat down at her desk and turned on her computer when the chatting around her suddenly quieted down. She turned her head in confusion and immediately saw Lucas standing beside her. Her expression froze. "Mr. Tudor, do you need something?"
Lucas looked intently at her face and said, "Yes, follow me."
Aveline responded, "Okay."NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
Lucas was speechless.
When Desmond called, she said she was too busy. But now that Lucas came in person, she suddenly had time?
Lucas's mouth twitched in annoyance.
Aveline followed him to the CEO's office. Desmond glanced at her, his look full of dissatisfaction, but Aveline pretended not to notice.
Inside the CEO's office, Aveline looked at Lucas with a blank expression. "What do you need, Mr. Tudor?"
Lucas kept looking at her face. His expression remained cold and dignified. "I know what happened that night. I can agree to all your conditions."
"Oh," Aveline responded without any emotion,
Lucas raised an eyebrow. "What's with that reaction?"
Aveline rep. d, "What reaction do you expect, Mr. Tudor? Do you think I should be grateful to you for spending money to buy my life?"
Lucas was speechless.
It really was unnecessary to call her in.
The office fell into an eerie silence.
After a long pause, Aveline looked at Lucas. "Mr. Tudor, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now."
"Mm," Lucas responded coldly.
Aveline turned and left without a hint of hesitation. Lucas reached
up to pinch the bridge of his nose, his expression growing even darker.
As soon as she exited the CEO's office, Desmond spoke up. "Miss Young, did I do something to displease you?"
"Hmm?" Aveline looked at him in confusion. "What are you talking about?"
Desmond kept quiet.
Was he overthinking it? He must be overthinking it, right? Why did it feel like Aveline was insulting him with that remark? Desmond couldn't help looking rather upset, he added, "Miss. Young, why did you say you were busy when I called you earlier?" Aveline blinked. "Because I really was busy."
Desmond was speechless.
Aveline waited a moment, and when he didn't say anything further, she added, "If there's nothing else, I'll be going now." Without waiting for Desmond's reaction, she turned and walked
away
Aveling returned to her desk, momentarily stunned. He knew what happened that night, so what?
He hadn't apologized to her. He had blamed her without a single word of apology, brushing it off as if it were nothing.

Was she still expecting him to say something meaningful? Ha!
Aveline scoffed inwardly.
Clearly, in his eyes, she meant nothing at all.
She made a bold guess and thought she probably wasn't even worth a strand of Sophia's hair.
Closing her eyes briefly, she pushed those chaotic thoughts away and immersed herself in her work.
At noon, she remembered the package she had forgotten earlier after Russell reminded her. The package should contain his clothes. How should she wash such expensive clothes? Aveline opened the package and saw the slightly wrinkled shirt and suit jacket. She took out her phone and started searching online.
After finding the right way to clean them, she carefully packed the clothes to wash them properly at home.
In the afternoon, after clocking out, she took the elevator down. As the elevator doors opened, she saw Lucas standing inside, tall and. handsome, his gaze fixed intently on her face.
