Divorce me I'm done serving you (Ayla) novel Chapter 238

Ayla nodded. "Being your girlfriend brings attention. I could gain a lot from your name, but it also brings problems. You can block part of it, but people will still look at me as a target, and I can't dodge every shot. Mr. Storm, I've got my own stuff to handle. Staying unnoticed is safer."

Draven understood. "Sorry. I didn't think that far."

She smiled lightly. "We can talk it through."

He had rushed earlier.

He wanted everyone to know she was his girlfriend. Even if it wasn't real, it didn't matter to him. After that, no one except Troy would dare bother her.

But he didn't consider her side.

"If you don't want it public, then we won't. As long as my mom knows, it's enough."

"Thanks, Mr. Storm!"

"No need. We're partners. We both get something. Neither of us owes anything. And while we're working together, my wants shouldn't come first. That would just stress you out." Draven's voice was calm. "If things stay smooth, it lasts longer."

Ayla felt he was considerate. "Mr. Storm, you're really a good guy."

Draven didn't like being labeled a good guy. "Keeping it private doesn't mean you're still just my secretary. You need to act like we're dating. We just keep quiet about it. And whether we tell anyone it's fake..."

He lifted an eyebrow. "If you can trust them and they won't talk, fine. Like Halle—she's reliable. But Kaleb? No way. If he knows it's pretend, everything falls apart."

Ayla broke into a cold sweat. "Don't worry. I would never tell Kaleb."

Draven hummed. "My mom isn't easy to fool. That's why you need to act like you really are my girlfriend."

Ayla knew a little about his mother.

Vivian—the current head of the Storms with terrifying power. Without her, Draven wouldn't be the famous heir in Zheron. A woman who raised him and stayed in control for years wasn't weak.

Ayla understood his concern.

But...

He noticed her hesitating. "What is it?"

"We didn't deal with the main issue. In your mother's eyes, and around our friends, we're already together. But why are we together?"

She paused for a second before continuing, "Like, why would you like me? And why would I date you right after divorcing someone else?"

Draven's gaze dipped slightly.
