“You called Dad and Gilbert over, didn’t you? The door was locked. You could’ve just knocked, you know.”
“You had them come and kick down my door, and look at what happened. My secretary got hurt. If she ends up with internal injuries, you’ll have to pay her hospital bills.”
Natalie let out a cold little laugh. She stood up suddenly and headed straight for the break room.
Jordan’s eyes darted in panic. He jumped up and hurried after her, grabbing her arm, trying to sound calm. “Babe, what’s wrong? Are you mad that I locked the office door when I was talking with Malvina?”
“It was about a business secret. We couldn’t risk anyone overhearing. The door was locked for security, that’s seriously all it was.”
Natalie’s dad and brother exchanged glances, both picking up on the tension in the room.
Jordan was lying, and it showed. He was nervous, scared.
Fitzgerald remembered his wife telling him once, quietly, that she’d heard rumors about Jordan cheating. When she’d asked Natalie, their daughter just brushed it off and said it was a misunderstanding.
But what if it was true? Was Jordan actually cheating? With his secretary?
“Jordan, Natalie, come over here,” Fitzgerald said, pulling out his fatherly authority.
Jordan reached for Natalie’s hand, trying to pull her along, but she shook him off. “Why are you so jumpy, Jordan? I just want to use the restroom in your break room.”
“I’m not jumpy, I just didn’t want you to get the wrong idea. If you need the restroom, I’ll go in with you.”
“I don’t need you to come with me.”
Natalie started walking toward the break room again.
Jordan was close to freaking out. The bed in his break room was still a total mess.
If Natalie saw it, they’d definitely have a fight.

The readers' comments on the novel: After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan)
Author, please get your characters names right. You always messing them up!...
I wish Harold will win Isabella's heart. I was so sad when Isabela was taken for granted coldly and cruelly by her supposed to be husband, and trapped,mocked and humiliated non stop by Natalie. This was so cruel, both don't deserve Isabela' forgiveness I wish for a happy ending between Isabela and Harold, he has the right to be happy after the long wait....
Frankly, the story initially was going quite good and the pacing was just right. unfortunately after Ethan got the dream of his past life, the story has been going in circles. Ethan's spouting the same nonsense every time he sees Isabella, they both have same conversations over and over. The authors monologue too has been the same for almost 400 chapters. Irrespective of which character the writing the just a repetition of what someone had gone through in the past and what made a certain character feel the emotions. York got introduced in 800 chapters yet nothing significant happened till date. Isabella is soft with Harold and kind of disgusted with Ethan, yet it is not entirely clear with whom she might end up. If she stays single i am fine with it but the story is clearly about Isabella and Ethan so almost 1000 chapters without seeing any progress in their relationship is frustrating. Except for being blindly in love and few aggressive instances with Isabella, Ethan actually isnt a bad person so i am fine if he can win her back. Even though Harold is coming off as a good second lead, i am somehow unable to warm upto him. Even the bad people in the story are not really facing any real consequences. I hate Jackson for his hypocrisy. I hate Jordan and Natalie for their self-righteouness and selfishness. I also hate Deborah, except when she is handing it out to Natalie. I am almost on the verge of dropping this story....
Why are they acting like kids 🤣😭...
Ethan is actually not that bad if we take out his blind love for Natalie...
