A Night To Remember novel (Diane and Norman) novel Chapter 51

Chapter 51 Christopher Spoils Her to Death

Time passed by in the blink of an eye. Before long, the disastrous crisis brought about by Elizabeth’s suicide attempt gradually died down.

Diane wanted to divorce Christopher. However, ever since her quick escape from him at the hospital the other day, he hadn’t come home at all. As a result, she hadn’t seen him in a month.

The only time she was close enough to hear from him was when Scott came over to collect his clothes. Diane took the chance to ask him about Christopher, and he told her that the man had been staying in his office recently due to his heavy workload.

Diane didn’t believe that at all. He never came home; if he wasn’t keeping Queenie company every night, where else could he be?

He couldn’t possibly be spending every night in his cold and empty office, right?

Even though she didn’t believe Scott, she didn’t try to get to the bottom of it either—to her, they were already divorced. She was only waiting for Christopher to come to his senses and sign the agreement.

Following that, the days passed by steadily. After living on her own for some time in the empty house, the loneliness and uneasiness she had experienced at first seemed to gradually fade away.

She returned to work at NG Enterprise only after a few days since Christopher wasn’t around to stop her.

Her time in the office was quite peaceful for a couple of days. However, it was almost time to get off work on this day when the head of their branch office, Mr. Weaving, visited the Planning Department out of the blue. He went up to her and told her to attend a banquet tonight.

Diane knew that Mr. Weaving’s offer was more or less influenced by her relationship with Christopher.

She wanted to reject the offer, but when she noticed that some of her colleagues had also been personally invited by Mr. Weaving, she thought that it wouldn’t look great for her to be the only one who was absent. With that in mind, she eventually dropped the idea.

After all, attending all sorts of banquets was part and parcel of the corporate world.

What she didn’t expect was to have so many unexpected encounters at an event that was just of a mediocre scale.

Shortly after she arrived at the venue, a woman’s figure caught her eye.

In fact, she wasn’t the only one who was shocked—Mr. Weaving’s assistant, Alison, was so dumbfounded as she stood next to her. Her eyes were even popping out of their sockets.

“Is that Stella with Mr. Zeigler from Troy Enterprise? My goodness, it hasn’t even been that long and she’s already jumped ship. With Norman being sent to jail, she’s somehow looking much more radiant than before,” Alison whispered in Diane’s ear. Diane stared at Stella who was mingling in the crowd in front of her, and she let out a silent exclamation.

Stella had recovered almost completely in just over a month—her waist was almost as slim as before. Whether it was intentional or not, Stella wore a tight-fitting dress that brought out her curves wonderfully. The dress especially accentuated her breasts which had grown quite a bit in size due to her pregnancy; they were practically popping out from the tight cutting of the dress.

She was standing right next to Mr. Zeigler with her breasts pressing against his body. The two of them were engaged in a lively conversation, and they seemed to be quite intimate in their relationship.

“From what I see, she’s really a sl*t by nature,” Alison said again. In her spiteful tone was a hint of jealousy and admiration as she continued, “She’s found a new man just after leaving NG. What else can she do other than ride a man’s coattails? It’s such a shame for Norman—he’s not even a few days in jail and his wife has already run away. Tsk tsk…”

Diane didn’t want to indulge in gossip about Stella, so she only smiled along and changed the subject. She said, “All right, let’s not talk about her. She’s not in NG anymore, so what’s the point? Let’s head over to Mr. Weaving.”

“Okay.”

Alison finally averted her gaze from Stella and quickly walked toward Mr. Weaving together with Diane.

In front of them, Mr. Weaving was exchanging greetings and chatting with his acquaintances. As his secretary, Alison went up to him while Diane stayed behind.

After wandering around for a while in search of her other invited colleagues, she noticed Stella heading toward her direction from quite a distance away.

Indeed, in Diane’s life, some people were like nightmares—regardless of how hard she tried to avoid them, they appeared in her life again and again.
