Divorce Me I'm Done Serving You (Ayla and Troy) novel Chapter 894

Ayla already knew James had gone to stay with Halle, so she wasn't surprised they ended up together. Still, it felt like a huge, happy surprise.

She leaned close and whispered in Halle's ear, "Are you serious about this?"

Halle nodded.

Ayla's eyes lit up even more. A serious relationship wasn't easy. It meant things could be stable in the future. Halle wasn't someone who fell in love easily, so seeing her take this step made Ayla truly happy.

"Why didn't you tell me right away?" Ayla asked. That was her only complaint.

She wanted to be the first to congratulate her.

Halle smiled a little. "We've only been together for a few days, and I felt a bit shy telling you."

"What's there to be shy about?"

"Haha... I don't know. I just felt shy."

Ayla didn't push it. "Alright, I forgive you."

Blake also congratulated James and Halle warmly.

She was one of the top executives in the company and Draven's right-hand person. As a woman in her 30s, she gave off a strong, powerful vibe. She looked like a career-focused woman who was hard to approach.

No one ever asked her about dating. The way she carried herself made it seem like she didn't need a relationship at all.

Herman also congratulated James.

They were all around the same age. Draven and James both had girlfriends now. Only Herman was still single. No one usually pressured him about it, but James couldn't help bringing it up.

Herman had a refined, gentlemanly look, but sometimes there was a hint of a playboy in him.

Like now, when he said, "No rush. I'm not done having fun yet."

After saying that, he glanced at someone—but no one noticed.

When Will heard that, he quickly said, "Even Mr. Howell isn't in a hurry. James, stop picking on me."

James didn't let him off. "Herman's single, sure—but he's better than you. If he wants a girlfriend, he can find one anytime. What about you? Do you even know how to talk to women?"

Will decided not to argue anymore. Still, he sincerely wished them both well.

...

After dinner, everyone went their separate ways.

James didn't drive home. "I've got one more stop. There's someone who doesn't know yet."

Halle looked curious. "Who?"

"You forgot? My unlucky cousin, Max," James said with a grin. "He's the hardest one for me to deal with, so I have to make sure he knows I'm taken now. If I don't show off a little, I can't stand it."

"You're unbelievable," Halle said. She knew Max was close friends with Troy. Back then, he had even gotten involved in Ayla and Troy's situation. So, it would be awkward for him to show up at gatherings with Ayla and Draven. Meeting him separately was better.
