Back in the ER, Raelynn had practically lived in flats. She avoided high heels like the plague unless absolutely necessary, meaning she had never quite mastered the art of walking in them.
At the same time, she caught his underlying meaning.
He was saying that this—the two of them in this position—was not fitting.
Sebastian would never just shove her off; he maintained his manners even when he was being an absolute bastard.
He was a cold-hearted man wrapped in the pristine veneer of a gentleman.
Whether in private or in public, he weaponized his courtesy. He easily created the illusion that someone was special to him, when in reality, it was just thoughtless chivalry.
Sebastian was reminding her that sitting on his lap was crossing a line.
She was upsetting his precious girlfriend.
Raelynn's lips twisted into a faint smirk. She tore her wrist free from the large hand that had just saved her from falling. "True, none of this fits. But an accident is just an accident."
She braced a hand on the edge of the table and stood up.
Seraphina glared at her, her voice frigid. "You really need to be more careful."
Raelynn could hear the raw emotion dripping from those words. It was the possessiveness of a woman guarding her territory.
She was lecturing Raelynn for daring to 'touch' her man.
"Compared to you casually throwing away my name card to steal a seat, I suppose I was a little clumsy," Raelynn fired back, her tone sharp.
Seraphina's scowl deepened.
Preston walked over, completely oblivious to the physical collision that had just occurred.
But he immediately spotted Raelynn's name card tossed haphazardly into the back row. He knew Raelynn had not moved it herself. No one threw their own placard away like discarded trash, leaving it skewed and lonely on a random table.
He was publicly calling her out for the petty sabotage.
Seraphina struggled to keep her facial expression from crumbling.
She burned with resentment. Why was Preston refusing to show her a shred of gentlemanly grace?
Leo and Julian finished their networking and walked over just in time to catch the argument.
Julian cast a quiet look at Raelynn.
Leo stepped forward to intervene. "Mr. Moreno, it's just a seat. Raelynn probably wouldn't even mind swapping."
In Leo's mind, Raelynn had finally realized the cold, hard truth: Sebastian did not belong to her. She ought to have the grace to step aside.
"Furthermore," Leo said, shooting Raelynn a deeply condescending smirk, "you just said yourself that the front row is strictly for VIPs. Does a nobody like Raelynn really belong here? Under what title is she sitting with the elites? Can she really justify that to the crowd?"

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!...
