Divorce Clock Ticking (Kenneth and Angela) novel Chapter 6

Chapter 6

Then, Angela pushed open the car door and stepped out, heading back to the villa. The black Maybach paused for a moment before finally driving away from her in the opposite direction.

Inside the car, Kenneth watched Angela’s diminishing figure in the rearview mirror, feeling a sense of irritation.

He couldn’t understand why the usually gentle Angela was being so stubborn this time. He had even lowered his pride to actively seek her out, yet she still wanted a divorce.

However, the immediate concern was to check on Jennifer first. So, Kenneth planned to have a proper conversation with Angela later.

Soon, Angela received a call from Patrick while heading uphill.

“Angela, where are you now?”

Hearing his anxious tone, Angela felt a warmth in her heart.

“I’m halfway up the mountain, on my way back.

“What about Mr. Sinclair?” Patrick asked.

Angela replied emotionlessly, “He left.”

“He left you alone halfway up the mountain in the middle of the night? Il come pick you up, wait for me!”

Without giving Angela a chance to refuse, Patrick hung up the phone.

Angela put away her phone and stood at the side of the road, waiting for Patrick.

When he arrived, Angela was kicking stones in boredom.

Hearing the roar of the engine, she looked up to see Patrick’s car stopping in front of her.

Patrick opened the door and, relieved to see Angela unharmed, quickly walked over to her, opening the passenger door.

“Angela, get in.”

Seeing his considerate gesture, Angela couldn’t help but smile, teasing, “No wonder so many girls want to be your girlfriend. You’re just too chivalrous.”

Patrick also smiled, “What about you? Do you think I would make a good boyfriend?”

Seeing his nonchalant expression, Angela played along and nodded. “Of course. You’d definitely be a perfect boyfriend.”

Patrick seemed disappointed, but he remained smiling and said, “Unfortunately, the person I like doesn’t like me back.”

Angela gently patted his shoulder in consolation. “What a coincidence. He doesn’t like me back, either.”

Patrick shook his head with a bitter smile. “Your consolation sucks. Now I feel even worse.”

“Alright, let’s go back to the villa. I have to start work tomorrow.”

Patrick raised an eyebrow. “Are you coming back to be my manager?”

“Nope. Besides, you already have a manager. It’s impossible for us to work together again.”

Patrick smiled but didn’t say anything more..

Back at the villa, the coffee had already gone cold, and Angela was no longer interested in drinking it. After exchanging a good night with

Patrick, she went back to her room.

Early the next morning, Angela got up, freshened up, and went downstairs. Seeing Brenda already waiting for her in the living room, Angela hurried downstairs.

“Ms. Taylor, would you like to consider letting me take another day off? Angela asked.

Brenda sneered wickedly, throwing a stack of documents into Angela’s arms.

‘ve been on a break for three years, and you still want more rest? On your way to the office, you must go through all these documents. We have a tough battle to fight today!”

Angela looked at the files in her arms, somewhat speechless. “Come on, it’s my first day! Can’t I have something easier?”

“Stop it. During your absence, those idiots nearly overturned Empyria Group. They filled the company with their relatives, just a bunch of freeloaders who only take money without working. If you just stand by and watch, the company will collapse in no time!”

Angela was speechless. 

On the way to the company, Brenda couldn’t resist her gossiping instincts.

“By the way, I saw the rising movie star, Patrick, at your house this moming. You just got divorced from Kenneth not long ago, and you’re already keeping a celebrity?”

Angela’s gaze shifted from the documents to Brenda’s face. She spoke seriously. “First, Patrick and I are just friends. Second finalized the divorce with Kenneth, so technically, he’s not my ex–husband yet.”

Brenda’s eyes flashed with shock. “So, you haven’t divorced Kenneth yet, but you’re already keeping a movie star? How thrilling!”

“Did you even understand what I said?” Angela raised an eyebrow.

Brenda lifted her chin. “Of course, I’m not an idiot.”

Brenda, recalling Angela’s teasing earlier, deliberately said in a sarcastic tone, “I’m not your secretary! Don’t ask me to do it”

Angela closed the files, raised an eyebrow, and said, “Sure, since Empyria Group is on the brink of collapse, let’s just file for bankruptcy.”

Brenda gave Angela a big thumb up, admiringly saying, “Ms. Lewis, that was very impressive! It was so satisfying watching you put those old folks in their places. I’ve never seen them take such a blow before.”
