Divorce Has Never Felt This Good (Becky and Rory) novel Chapter 26

On their way to dinner, Becky and Talia hit a traffic jam on the road. They made it to the restaurant only five minutes before the appointed time.

Becky stepped out of the car and strode inside the restaurant, her high heels clacking on the marble floor.

The private room was located on the fourth floor. Because it was dinner time, the elevator was full and stopped on almost every floor.

Becky looked down at her wristwatch. When she looked up, she suddenly saw a familiar figure standing outside the elevator on the third floor.

Denise?

Becky raised her eyebrows and looked away. Soon, the elevator doors slid to a close.

A few seconds later, the elevator doors opened again on the fourth floor and Becky walked out.

When she arrived at the private room, she found that the door was slightly ajar. It seemed that Robbie was on the phone inside.

His voice wasn’t that loud, but Becky overheard him saying into the phone, “Miss Casper…”

Hearing that, Becky raised her eyebrows and turned her head to look at Talia.

Talia nodded and knocked on the door. “Mr. Powell.”

As soon as Talia spoke, Robbie quickly hung up the phone.

Becky walked in and smiled at Robbie. “I’m sorry for being late, Mr. Powell. There was a traffic jam on the way.”

Robbie smiled back at her, as if he didn’t mind her being late. “Don’t worry about it, Miss Ramos. It’s a Friday night after all.”

“Still, I’m sorry.”

“It’s no big deal. But since you’re so sorry, then why not punish yourself by drinking a glass of wine?”

After saying that, Robbie paused thoughtfully and then asked, “Are you good at drinking? If you can’t hold your liquor, then forget it. I’ll have the waiter bring in some juice instead.”

Becky took a seat and looked at the man in front of her. She didn’t know what he was up to.

But this was how the world of business worked, so Becky knew that sharing a drink with Robbie was inevitable.

“Don’t worry. I can hold my drink. Please forgive me for being late.”

As she spoke, she raised her glass and downed half of its contents in one gulp.
