After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 1081

Jolie said nothing further, standing up and leaving without looking back.

She couldn’t wrap her head around it.

Ian’s perspective was on an entirely different wavelength from hers. She knew that even if it wasn’t her, he’d find someone "like-minded" eventually. People like him weren’t uncommon in their social circle.

But for now, she just couldn’t accept it.

Ian followed her out, holding up his phone. "Miss Quin, how about we exchange numbers? If you change your mind later, you can always reach out."

Jolie glanced at him, hesitated, and then pulled out her phone.

She couldn’t outright refuse and burn bridges. Who knew? They might end up as partners someday.

The two exchanged numbers.

Meanwhile, across the street.

A car was parked by the curb. The driver returned to the vehicle, handing a file to the man in the back seat.

"Mr. Cooper, here’s the document you requested."

Gavin’s gaze shifted from the pair across the street as he took the file and began flipping through it.

The driver got back into the car and started the engine. "Where to next, Mr. Cooper?"

Gavin didn’t respond. The rustle of pages turning filled the car, slow and deliberate, creating an odd sense of tension in the air.

The driver could feel a cold sweat forming on his back. After what felt like an eternity, Gavin’s voice finally broke the silence.

"Find out who that man is."

The driver blinked. "Who?"

Gavin’s sharp gaze flicked out the window.

The driver followed his line of sight and immediately spotted the man standing with Jolie. His heart skipped a beat.

He thought to himself, "This Miss Quin is certainly bold—already tied up with Mr. Cooper yet brazen enough to pursue someone else."

The driver quickly responded, "Understood."

Meanwhile, Jolie sneezed suddenly, frowning slightly. “Am I catching a cold?”

It seemed she’d need to take some medicine once she got home, just in case.
