At the gate of the Manches Civil Affairs Bureau.
Zane stopped the car in front of the gate and turned off the engine.
They were both sitting in the car, neither of them intending to speak, nor neither of them offering to get out first.
Albi came and knocked on the window.
Yanis then opened the door first and got out.
After that, Zane also got out of the car.
Albi glanced at Yanis as she got out of the car. After a moment's hesitation, he handed Zane the divorce papers. "Here you are, Mr. Lawrence."
Zane's eyes darkened as Albi handed him the papers. He hesitated for a few seconds before reaching out to take them.
As Albi handed over the signed document, Zane's hand was visibly shaking. He even wrinkled the document and his veins were visible.
In all the years Albi had been with Zane, he had never seen him so restrained with his emotion.
He felt like he was being weighed down by a mountain and couldn't breathe.
"Get in there." Yanis glanced at Zane and stepped through the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Albi stood next to Zane, looking at Yanis' determined face. "Mr. Lawrence, you... Are you really leaving Lady Yanis?"
Zane looked up at Yanis's back. After a long pause, he said yes. Then she stepped in.
Albi stood by the car, waiting.
When Bonnie arrived, she noticed the familiar black Bentley.
Bonnie was actually sad, feeling bad for Yanis.
She gave him everything she had, did whatever it took, and came home empty-handed.
And she even got hurt and shamed.
Bonnie parked the car, opened the door, and got out.
"Miss Cooke?"
Albi was stunned when he saw Bonnie and immediately asked, "are you picking up Lady Yanis?"
It was probably because he was used to calling her Lady Yanis, so Albi didn't change for a while. Albi had called her Miss Thompson a few times before when Neve first came back, but after that, he called her Lady Yanis again.
With a faint look, Bonnie cast her eyes at the gate of the Civil Affairs Bureau and asked, "How long have they been in there?"
"A while," Albi answered.
Bonnie said ok and she didn't speak again.
The two of them stood in front of the car, waiting for them to come out.
Soon Zane and Yanis came out from the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Bonnie narrowed her eyes and asked, "Albi, has Yanis been unkind to Zane all these years?"
Albi turned to Bonnie when he heard this, wondering for a moment how to respond.
Albi had seen Yanis almost every day for the past five years.
Yanis was not unkind to Zane.
Even she was nice enough that Albi often felt that Zane didn't ... deserve her.
Sometimes he would think Zane in his heart that he failed her.
But he was just an assistant, whatever happened between his boss and the boss's wife, he was entitled to judge. He could only follow orders.
Zane told him to go abroad to check on Neve. He had to go.
Zane asked him to ignore Yanis. He had to ignore it.
When Zane married Yanis, Albi just started working for him.
He didn't know anything about what happened before.
