Divorce Clock Ticking (Kenneth and Angela) novel Chapter 54

Angela felt a bit surprised.

'He could've taken care of his shower last night, but he had me do it. Is he messing up with me?' she wondered.

Seeing Angela's displeased expression, Kevin couldn't resist speaking up. "Everything okay with Mr. Sinclair?"

Angela shook her head, "No issues. You guys can head in. I've got to head to work."

"Sure thing."

Once Angela left, Kevin and Tony went into the villa.

Kenneth's face was cold. "What was Angela asking you at the door?"

"She asked about how you bath."

Kenneth frowned, a touch of coldness in his eyes. "What did you tell her?"

"I said you usually handle it yourself."

Feeling Kenneth's mood sour, Kevin had a bad feeling.

"Did I mess up, Mr. Sinclair?" he asked.

Kenneth's expression stayed indifferent. "Next time Angela asks about me, just tell her you're not sure."

"Got it."

He rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.

Their relationship was already tense, and he didn't know how to handle it if she found out he lied.

*****

Throughout the day, Angela was on edge and annoyed because of Kenneth's antics from the previous night. To make matters worse, Frank fueled the fire by bringing a new contract for Angela to sign.

After going through it, Angela circled several glaring issues and tossed the contract in front of Frank.

"I'm starting to wonder if you're a spy from our rival company, Mr. Black. If I sign this contract, Empyria Group might collapse tomorrow, and we might even end up in jail."

Lowering his head, Frank scowled at the circled areas.

This contract came from Peter, who developed a grudge against Angela after their confrontation. Peter created this contract as a trap.

Peter said that he just planned to give Angela a minor setback and promised to clear the debt Frank owed him once Angela signed. That was why Frank agreed.

"Ms. Lewis, what does that mean? I've given my all to this company for years, and everyone knows it. Sure, this contract has flaws, but they are honest mistakes. Why doubt me like this?"

Lately, Angela didn't want to target shareholders, especially after laying off many employees. However, Frank's recent behavior left her no choice but to let him go.

"Remember, Mr. Black, I'm the one who gave you those shares."

Frank's face stiffened. "What are you suggesting? While it's true you gave me the shares, don't forget, I've done you a solid!"

Angela smirked, nodding. "True, but managing a company isn't your strong suit. Enjoying dividends at home every year sounds good, doesn't it?"

Frank's face turned sour and angry as he stared at Angela. "What do you mean? Are you asking me to resign?"

Entering the board was a hard-fought battle for him, and Angela, on her return, wanted him out. 'Just unacceptable,' he thought.

"Mr. Black, your department consistently performs the worst. I don't want to embarrass everyone. Within three days, resign from the board on your terms. The company will provide the dividends you deserve, and you'll have plenty of time to enjoy life."

"You!"

Frank was nearly boiling with anger, his face filled with resentment.

Angela stayed calm, looking at him and saying slowly, "Think it over and give me your answer."

Frank glared at Angela, gritting his teeth. "No need to think. I won't resign from the board. Even if you're the CEO, you don't have the authority to dismiss me."
