Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 1089

Atlas glanced at his watch and said, "She’s almost here. Get some rest. She’ll be here soon."

"When did you make the call? Why didn't I know?" I asked. He always managed to surprise me.

"I called her after we arrived last night. I thought you needed company, and there are some things I don't trust you to handle alone, so I called her. She took the early morning train to get here," said Atlas.

Atlas grabbed his coat and said, "I'm going to the city with Arnold. You rest in the room for a while and wait for her. She’ll come see you. I've booked the room next door for her. You can talk when she arrives."

"Okay!" I was very happy and glad to have Lauren here with me.

After Atlas finished speaking, he left the hotel with Arnold. I immediately called Lauren, who answered, "Don't worry, I'm in a taxi. Why didn't you call me to join you yesterday? I had to travel alone."

"I was in a hurry. I could barely remember to pack," I replied. "I'll wait for you!"

I hung up after repeating the address again.

After hanging up, I remembered something I had forgotten to do in my haste last night. I quickly called Carol. She answered promptly. "Chloe?"

"I forgot something. John will be at the company today. Please apply for a loan of two hundred grand at the finance department and give it to John. I'll replenish the money when I return," I instructed Carol.

"Why are you taking out a loan? Isn't it all yours? Cash?" She laughed.

"Cash. John will deposit it into the bank. Avoid using our names," I told Carol. "We need to follow the rules. I need to go through the procedure too. It's about the system."

"Okay!" Carol agreed.

I had almost forgotten about this. I couldn't let John use his own money for travel expenses.
