:
Kaleb froze for a moment. She must have seen how excited he was a minute ago.
Damn. So embarrassing.

He pretended nothing happened and pulled out his phone to search NewRealm Ventures.
He saw all of the successful deals and investments they had made. Their record was incredible.
His heart, which had just calmed down, started racing again.
But soon, his face changed. He glared at Emmett. “Why didn’t you tell me they were backed by the Bennett Group?”
Emmett jumped a little. “Is that … important?”
Kaleb let out a cold laugh.
How could it not be important? Max’s eyes on Ayla were obviously not simple.
He turned to Ayla. “You knew, too, didn’t you?”
“I knew.” Ayla didn’t expect him to react so strongly.
“So
you
think that’s a good thing?” Kaleb asked.
Ayla didn’t understand why he suddenly snapped at her. She was about to ask, but Patrick walked back in right then, and behind him stood a tall man.
Ayla’s eyebrows tightened.
That man was Max.
As the executive assistant in Storm Group’s corporate office, Ayla knew the finance world of
Trensea well.
Kaleb’s
game had great potential. But Max had no reason to come here in person.
If Max showed up, there was only one explanation. This project wasn’t discovered by Patrick at all. It was Max who told Patrick to investigate it.
Ayla had already cut ties with Troy.

That also included his best friend, Max.
:
She planned to tell Kaleb and Emmett to refuse the deal and let her invest instead.
But Kaleb beat her to it. “Mr. Lawson, we’re not doing this deal anymore.”
Emmett stared at him, shocked. “What?”
“Pack your things. We’re leaving.” Kaleb’s tone was sharp and absolute. No negotiation.
Emmett, turned pale with anger.

Max hadn’t expected Ayla to be here. He heard Patrick mention her name and still chose to
come.
“Don’t rush off. Even if we don’t work together, at least have some tea,” Max said calmly.
Kaleb hated the way Max looked at Ayla. The first time he saw them together, he sensed that Max looked at her like a flirt-calm on the outside, but not clean on the inside. No one else would notice, but Kaleb was also a man. He knew. Max didn’t come here because of the game. He came for Ayla.
Kaleb already hated Troy.
Max wasn’t any better.
“I don’t have time to drink anything with you,” Kaleb snapped.
Patrick was stunned by Kaleb’s boldness. Max had a good temper, but in Trensea, no one dared talk to him like this.
Max ignored Kaleb completely and looked at Ayla instead. “Since Kaleb doesn’t want to talk to me, maybe you and I can talk?”
Kaleb growled, “What do you two have to talk about?”
Max smiled calmly. “At least let Ayla hear why I came.”
Kaleb glared, feeling helpless for the first time.
Max was nothing like Troy. Troy could be pushed. Max couldn’t be pushed at all.
Ayla also wanted to know the truth, so she planned to step outside with him.
Max didn’t move. He just glanced at Patrick.

Patrick understood. He escorted Emmett and Kaleb out of the room. Kaleb didn’t want to go, but Ayla shoved him out.
Once the door closed, Ayla sat down and asked Max, “So what did you do to make Kaleb hate you?”

The readers' comments on the novel: Divorce me I'm done serving you (Ayla)
Why is half of each of these chapters missing? The story sort of trails off in the middle of the chapter. That’s unfortunate....
