I casually lifted my gaze to meet his, a slight smirk curving my lips before I turned and walked inside. I could feel that piercing stare on my back, following me until I was out of sight.
Geneva whispered to me, "Looks like he's here for a meeting too."
"Who else could it be? Either a woman or someone he's begging for help. Yeah, I'd bet he's in quite a pickle," I said with certainty.
Geneva hummed in agreement, "That's probably it. He looks desperate."
"He dug his own grave," I said with a bit of schadenfreude. "He just settled his debts with the bank, lucky for him, or they'd be knocking on his door!"
Geneva chuckled, "You're spot on. Word is, he's nearly bankrupt. Shareholders are up in arms, making a scene at Medsafe Liyah Inc. every day. Tax issues, suppliers demanding payments... his office has become a marketplace, but not the prosperous kind. People are secretly dumping their shares."
I spoke coolly, "Catherine was right; it's time to schedule the divorce."
As we chatted, I realized Hannah hadn't followed us. Geneva asked, "Where's Hannah?"
"She'll catch up," I replied nonchalantly.
After Geneva and I ordered our meals, we headed straight to the private room we'd reserved.
Slumping onto the sofa, I sighed, "I need a break. I almost wore out these days..."
"You've come a long way," Geneva remarked with pride. "At first, you could hardly manage two hours straight, and now you're like a warrior that can go on for days!"
