Goodbye You Never Loved Me novel (Martha and Stefan) novel Chapter 64

Hearing Rhys' words, Martha clearly felt that the air around them turned even colder.
She had a headache, "I dare not bother you for that, Mr. Williams."
After saying this, she paused, and then continued, "By the way, Hollie and her men will join us tomorrow."
Immediately afterward, Rhys' dissatisfied voice came from the phone.
"It's such a bummer. I thought it could be our date."
The word "date" might cause some misunderstandings since Martha was not yet divorced.
Martha sighed, looking tired.
She didn't like Rhys speaking to her like that on purpose. But Stefan was beside her watching.
If she showed intimacy with Rhys, maybe Stefan would do crazy things.
Thinking of this, Martha looked stern, and her tone was somewhat indifferent.
"Rhys, speak properly."
"Honey, I don't understand. Am I not speaking properly?"
She knew Rhys was playing dumb, but she could do nothing about it.
"Tomorrow at nine o'clock, meet me at the dock."
Martha frowned slightly, having no patience to go on. She said in a business-like tone, "Mr. Williams, I wish we could work well."
Rhys chuckled and said, "I wish we would have a good time next week on the island."
Martha ignored his words and hung up the phone.
After putting down the phone, just when she was about to pack her stuff, Stefan suddenly took a step forward and grabbed her wrist tightly.
He looked at Martha in front of him with sullen eyes, his voice very angry.
"What's going on between you and him?"
"We work together. Next week we're going on a business trip. Hollie will be there too."
Martha was telling the truth, so she appeared very calm. Also, there was some impatience in her eyes. She hated to keep explaining the same topic.
She didn't understand why Stefan was angry. What the hell did he care?
Stefan stared at her with cold eyes. "That's all?"
"What else do you think there would be?"
Martha looked at him in displeasure and mockery.
They agreed to get a divorce in three months.
Why was he acting like he cared about her a lot?
Did he forget how he had hurt her before?
Stefan's eyes gradually turned cold. His anger slowly dissipated.
He knew what was going on, and he knew she wouldn't fall for a playboy like Rhys, but he was upset to hear Rhys chatting so intimately with her.
Stephan frowned slightly, and gradually loosened his grip. He saw her impatient look and understood that he almost hurt her again just now.
He suppressed his anger, kept silent for a short while, and said quietly, "Tomorrow, I will go with you."
Hearing this, Martha frowned, her eyelids drooped, and she felt helpless.
Did he think they were going there for fun?
Hollie wanted to go with them, and so did Stefan. Didn't t they get anything else to do?
But she didn't care if they would go with her.
Anyway, she was going there for work. She had nothing to hide.
But Hollie might make some trouble.
It seemed the trip wouldn't be a smooth one.
Seeing that Martha was unmoved, Stefan mocked, "Why? Am I not welcome?"
"The Doyle Group is yours now. Does my opinion matter?"
Martha's voice was indifferent. Her eyes were emotionless.
Stefan was the boss. She was in no position to stop him if he was to follow.
Standing in front of her, Stefan looked unhappy.
She was so cold to him. But she wasn't like that when she talked to Rhys on the phone just now.
His eyes were narrowed slightly, "Aren't you afraid I will disturb your date with Rhys?"
Martha glared at him, pursed her lips, and remained silent as she continued to pack her luggage.
He was so vapid and childish. She would just ignore him.
Anyway, he was not that important to her.
Being ignored, Stefan pursed his thin lips tightly.
Martha was like a hedgehog who hid her spiny armor from anyone, but him.
But he couldn't really be angry with her, because... he caused all of this.
He pushed Martha to Rhys.
Otherwise, they wouldn't even know each other.
At this moment, he regretted the way he hurt and insult her in the past.
Thinking of the past, Stefan parted his thin lips and said, "What I said before is still valid. As long as you agree, the Doyle Group is yours."
As soon as he finished speaking, Martha's cooling voice sounded in the room.
"No, thanks."
Her answer was still the same.
"If there is nothing, I got to sleep."
Seeing the tiredness on her face, Stefan said nothing. After a few seconds, he left her room.
When the door was closed heavily, he stood in the corridor with dark eyes.
As if thinking of something, he smiled.
It was not that bad getting along with each other like this now.
At least...
She wouldn't disappear as she did four years ago. At least he could see her all the time now.
At least she could be a vibrant part of his life.
