Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 446

Chapter 446 Back On The

Table

Sadie’s gaze was sharp as she sized Briley up.

“You’ve been missing for days. I thought you found a new boyfriend and forgot your way home. So what happened? Did

you get tired of him? Is that why you suddenly showed up again?”

She was ruthless, exposing Briley’s true nature without giving the latter any room to make excuses.

Briley was visibly taken aback. Her cheeks and ears flushed red. She wanted to retort, but she wasn’t sure how to counter

Sadie’s accusation.

Alex stood and watched the exchange, feeling a warm joy at seeing Sadie protect him. Then he quietly moved to Sadie’s

side until they were shoulder to shoulder with each other.

“Let’s go,” he said in a gentle tone.

Sadie nodded, and they left the restaurant without sparing Briley another glance.

Briley could only stamp her foot in frustration. “Damn that bitch! Always calling me out and exposing me to other people!”

she cursed through gritted teeth.

Briley had heard rumors about Alex’s supposed affection for Sadie. It seemed that those rumors were indeed true. Otherwise, why would he be so considerate toward Sadie, yet dismissive of her?

Briley’s chest heaved with indignation.

“It would be best if you keep your distance from Briley,” Sadie warned Alex as they stepped out of the restaurant.

She had a feeling that Briley’s sudden appearance wasn’t as simple as it seemed.

“Are you jealous?” Alex asked, the ghost of a smile dancing on his lips.

He presumed that Sadie was upset because he had helped Briley.

“Of course not,” Sadie replied, casting him a cool glance.

“I helped her out of reflex,” Alex quickly explained. “I had no idea who she was. Don’t worry, it won’t happen again. I

promise to steer clear of her from now on.” He raised his right hand as though he was swearing an oath.

Sadie just nodded and said nothing more, completely ignoring Alex’s obvious joy.

“Shall I drive you back to the office?” he offered.

“That won’t be necessary. I have other things to take care of. Let’s part ways here.”

Sadie didn’t even wait for Alex to respond and got into the car parked by the road.

Alex watched as the sports car sped away, a trace of disappointment flickering in his eyes.

Moments later, Sadie was back at the company.

Samuel was upon her as soon as she entered her office. “Ms. Hudson, Burgess Group has responded. Mr. Noel is willing to meet with you. The appointment is set for next Wednesday.”

Sadie nodded absentmindedly. “In that case, please arrange the trip to Zupren.”

“Ah,” Samuel exclaimed. His tone was cautious when he continued, “Well, as it happens, Mr. Noel is returning to the

country next Tuesday.”

“He’s coming back?” Sadie was slightly surprised by this news, but she didn’t dwell on it. “Then make sure we give him a proper reception.”

“Understood,” Samuel replied before going about making the necessary preparations.

That afternoon, Sadie went down to the second floor.

In order to better manage her work, she had integrated her studio into the Wall Group, and turned the entire second floor into a massive design department.

She had also promoted Nanette to supervisor.

Nanette greeted her at the elevator banks. “Ms. Hudson, the initial draft has been sent over,” she reported with a sigh of

relief. “Miss Travis is very satisfied. We can start with the final product.”

Sadie nodded her approval.

Nigel’s death and Noah’s coma had occurred back to back, which caused Zoe’s wedding to be delayed.
