Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 196
Sebastian was still surrounded by a flock of executives. Standing tall in the center of the crowd, he effortlessly buttoned his suit jacket with one hand. His gaze was steady and unbothered as it swept in her direction.
The two buildings were right next to each other.
So the distance was incredibly short.
Since the plaza was wide open.
Luke's proposition echoed with crystal clarity.
Raelynn hesitated for a second, surprised that Sebastian's meeting had lasted this long.
Only for him to coincidentally witness this exact scene.
Seeing Raelynn's silence, Luke took a step closer, leaving her no room to back away. "Even if NexusMind has a crisis management plan, rebuilding credit takes a whole cycle. You're an employee there. If you pull in my investment, you'll fast-track your way up the corporate ladder. Agree to my terms. It's an incredibly lucrative deal for you."
Raelynn lifted her eyes.
Meeting Luke's confident, predatory gaze.
Her lips parted.
But before she could formulate an answer.
A luxury car pulled up smoothly in front of Sebastian just a few yards away.
In a heartbeat.
Sebastian's gaze swept over her.
He looked as detached as if he had merely witnessed a random stranger getting hit on in public.
He stepped straight into his car.
Showing zero interest in his soon-to-be ex-wife's response.
The car sped off into the distance.
Raelynn quietly weighed the pros and cons.
Luke stared at her radiant complexion. "If you agree, come on a vacation with me to Seaport City. I can sign the contract whenever."
Raelynn could obviously see the pure desire for conquest in his eyes.
But she didn't give a damn about whether his intentions were pure or not.
"Since Mr. Sterling is showing such great sincerity, having dinner is no big deal."
She looked at him casually. "Time."
Luke easily caught the underlying message.
It was strictly limited to dinner.
If he didn't like it, the deal was off.
If money could sway her, then taking her to bed wouldn't be difficult at all.

Raelynn ended up mentioning the situation to Preston.
Preston let out a cold laugh. "The sheer depravity of men. How did Luke even get interested in you?"
Wasn't he incredibly disdainful of her not too long ago?
Raelynn looked down at the project report. "Like you said, men. Unless it's their own wife or girlfriend, they'll happily entertain thoughts about any beautiful woman they see."
Preston protested weakly. "Can you exclude me from that generalization?"
Raelynn nodded in agreement. "True. You're completely out of the market."
He was a total workaholic.
Preston chuckled and shook his head.
"Still, you don't have to force yourself into uncomfortable situations just for NexusMind's funding. We'll figure it out eventually."
Raelynn smiled. "I'm going to Seaport City anyway to scout their smart medical tech. New domestic products usually get tested in first-tier markets like Seaport City before hitting Kingsford. The resources there are cutting-edge. I was already planning to do some field research so we can refine our own project."
Rather than saying she agreed to dinner with Luke, she was going for a research trip and conveniently grabbing an investment along the way.
Preston knew she was thinking several steps ahead, but he insisted anyway. "Then I'll go with you. Otherwise, I won't have any peace of mind."

The readers' comments on the novel: Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding
I think for as slow as the beginning was, their turning point is just so fast... really hope we actually get to read about R and S and their rekindle.... we did not read 950 pages for their story to be sidelined. Im for this sideline story, but it if it's to separate from the main characters and their story, please make it separate book....
Author please update more chapters...
I really like Zella, she is becoming a good friend to Raelynn. Ian needs to go. The relationship with Chloe is confusing. Some chapters they are cousins, sometimes they're sibling. A little confusing....
Julians role as big brother- I feel comes from a genuine place, but in a relationship thats is just as stained as Raelynns and Sebastians. It hard for me to connect to his big brother role as he too was such a problem before. And while they talked a little bit, the conversation did not give me the believe there was resolution between Raelynn and Julian. For a brute, he should make his feelings clear about the situation to Raelynn and then step back, until there is more foundation for him to stand on....
Knife in my heart. I hurt for Raelynn. She has made it this far, but how much does she have in her, everyone has a breaking point. Some back of me hopes the author is joking to lighten the mood after so many intense chapters, but thats not this kind of story or couple....
My heart cannot take this. This, cannot be how it ends with these too. They need resolution with each other. Raelynn needs to be more humanize with Sebastian. We know she is hurt, but this is the branch. She needs all these answers, if not for them to be together, then for Lily to have both her parents. Stop with the mind games Raelynn!...
Its like the story is just repeating itself...
Timeline is getting lost for me. So many treasured little memories Raelynn has but yet, he was gone for years ? Anyways... still rooting for them! These two need a heart to heart. Lily "forgetting" someone, not possible in this day and age and I hope thats not their storyline....
Sebastian, the man of few words.... needs to find all the words! Needs to fight for her! On note, seven years seems like a long time for this master plan (which I am sure goes back much farther). Rereading this novel, and it seems like everything has played out in a 5-8 month time span. And I feel like all Sebastian's doings/ plan have not been revealed. I hope we get to see the whole picture and have the resolutions we hope. But seven years of mistreatment, I just don't see Raelynn fully coming back. If these was 2-3 years, maybe, and I know it changes some characters around, but it would still work. Rooting for them!...
Literally on edge!...
