Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 921

He ate quickly and seemed to enjoy the meal. He smiled at me and said, "Yum! This is the best lunch I've had so far. Thank you, Ms. Chloe."

I smiled without saying anything, feeling like this man was beating around the bush too much.

After finishing the meal, he checked the time and stood up. "It looks like it's time for your meeting soon. I won't disturb you any longer, Ms. Chloe. Thanks for the lunch. How about we have dinner together another day?"

I nodded. "Sure, provided I have the time."

"Great! I can wait until you're free," he said confidently. "I'll take my leave now. I believe we'll become friends, Ms. Chloe."

He strode out of the small meeting room and left my office.

Watching his departure, I couldn't help but mutter, "Who gave you such confidence?"

Carol rushed in, reaching out to tidy up the utensils and curiously asking, "Is he gone?"

"Yeah," I absentmindedly responded.

I was pondering Melvern's purpose in coming here. I reviewed our conversation, contemplating his questions.

"Why do I feel like he came here to test me?"

"Test you? What do you mean?" Carol asked curiously.

I shook my head and looked at Carol. "Forget it. Let him be. He's gone, and that's good news. He came here and left without any issues."

"Should I get someone to stop him?" Carol asked.

"You can't stop someone like him." I shrugged.

"Was there anything serious today?" Carol seemed annoyed.

"For us, absolutely not."

I returned to my office, thought for a moment, and decided it was time to make a call to Atticus. We hadn't been in touch for a few days.

He answered quickly. "Ms. Chloe."

"Are you still in Operose?" I asked.

"No, I'm back," he replied directly. "Anything wrong?"

"You're back? Then, why didn't you call me?" I sounded unusually excited.
