Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 18

Chapter 18 A Toast to You

Dressed in haute couture, Gigi stood behind Jean with a few women in similar clothing.

She looked astonished as if she had seen something that shouldn’t be there.

Jean wasn’t expecting to see her there.

Other than her frenemies, Gigi was accompanied by an unexpected person.

He was Edgar’s friend, Nathan Knox.

In her two years of marriage with Edgar, Jean only met him a few times. As a result, she wasn’t familiar with him.

Nathan frowned as he looked at Jean in her slip-dress. He hesitated.

“Jean, are you… working here?”

He spoke carefully, but Jean felt a piercing pain in her heart.

It was true that Jean Eyer of the Eyer Group had lost her position and ended up in such a place.

And who should I thank for this?

Jean kept quiet. Nathan took her silence as a yes. His heart sank as he stepped between her and the man.

“Does Edgar know that you’re here?”

“Mr. Knox, I’m no longer married to him. Am I supposed to report my daily routine to my ex-husband?”

Nathan paused. Their divorce was the gossip of the day. Naturally, he would have heard of it.

Before he could say another word, Gigi interjected.

“Jean, you shouldn’t work here even though you need money. How much do you need? I can lend it to you. If you work in this type of place…”

“Ms. Reece, we do not condone unscrupulous business here. What do you mean by ‘this type of place’?”

The manager interrupted.

If Jean quit her job, the manager would be in trouble for spreading the word that she was working there.

Jean laughed.

“Enough with the pretense. I’m only here because you recommended it to me in the first place, Ms. Reece.”

Gigi didn’t expect Jean to reveal the fact. Her face darkened.

Gigi’s friends exchanged looks.

“Alright then. Since Ms. Eyer is working here, shall we call for her service?”

Mr. Wilson wouldn’t let the opportunity go.

“Madam Lylah, isn’t it first come, first served? You know what’s the reasonable thing to do here.”
