Divorce Has Never Felt This Good (Becky and Rory) novel Chapter 63

At 6 p.m., Talia knocked on the door to Becky’s office. “Miss Ramos, the dinner is scheduled at half past six,” she reminded.

Hearing this, Becky raised her hand and rubbed her aching temples. “Thanks, Talia.”

It would take roughly twenty minutes to get to the restaurant if the traffic was okay.

Becky promptly shut off her computer, grabbed her things, and stood up to leave.

Talia was waiting for her by the door. “Will you need a driver?”

Becky shook her head. “No need. I can take us there.”

If she ended up drinking, she could just have a designated driver.

“Okay.”

They two headed straight to the basement parking lot. Noticing that Talia was following her, Becky stopped and said, “You can take your car.”

If she took her own car, Talia could drive home after dinner.

Talia paused. When she understood Becky’s intentions, she nodded and walked to her own car.

On the drive to the restaurant, Talia briefed Becky on the village’s representatives over the phone.

Doran Nixon, the East Village’s head, and Briar Nixon, the director of the village committee, were going to be at the dinner tonight.

According to Talia’s report, Doran had first agreed to sign the contract for compensation, but later on, he was also the first one who went back on his word and broke the contract. It was obvious that he was intelligent and able to make decisions based on different situations.

Smiling wryly, Becky mused, “Doran’s a smart man.” And she liked to negotiate with smart people.

Talia nodded and then started talking about Briar. “It seems that Briar also signed the contract and then went back on his word, following the example of the others. But it was he who persuaded Doran to break the contract a month ago.”

Becky clicked her tongue. “Interesting.”

It was a red light. Now that Becky had a general idea of what was going on, she ended the call with Talia. “Okay. See you at the restaurant.”
