Remarried After I Secretly Divorced the CEO novel Chapter 194

Julian found Autumn harder and harder to understand. She hadn’t even secured her footing in the company, yet she was busy making enemies everywhere.

Wasn’t she afraid of crashing and burning?

Keith swirled the wine in his glass. “So, Mr. Carter, are you saying I’m letting emotions get the better of me?”

Autumn had no interest in listening to them talk business any longer.

She stood and said to Keith, “I’m going to the restroom.”

She thought he wouldn’t bother responding, but to her surprise, he replied cooperatively, “Alright.”

Autumn paused for half a second, then quickly left the room. Just before the door shut behind her, she heard Luna’s voice.

“Mr. Sinclair, business is business. Personal grudges shouldn’t interfere with work. Surely you understand that better than we do.”

High-level players, indeed. One careless step and you’d fall right into their game.

But everyone seated inside was an old fox in their own right—no fools among them. No one was about to be outplayed so easily.

To Keith, Luna’s little tricks probably weren’t even worth noticing.

It almost seemed like, aside from Keith, the others in the room were blind fools—nothing more than Luna’s sycophants.

Outside, Autumn asked a server for the restroom and went straight there.

When she came out, she spotted Jasmine at the sink, fixing her makeup in the mirror.

Autumn went to another sink, turned on the tap, and smoothed back the strands of hair clinging to her face.

Jasmine dabbed on lipstick, lifted her chin proudly, and sneered, “Autumn, I never thought you’d stoop so low. Making a fool of me in front of everyone today.

Last night Autumn had added Selena’s uncle on her contacts, but the request was still pending.

She figured he was probably too busy to notice, so she hadn’t thought much of it.

Then, with her follow-up appointment and her grandmother falling ill, the matter had completely slipped her mind.

Now, seeing Jasmine again, it came back to her. She should probably mention it to Selena and ask her to arrange a time for them to meet face-to-face.

Jasmine scoffed and went on applying lipstick, clearly not taking Autumn’s words seriously.

Autumn couldn’t be bothered with her either. Jasmine was far too arrogant, carrying herself with such condescension it was hard not to bristle.

She’d just wait and see—once the police arrived, would Jasmine still be able to keep up that attitude?

As Autumn stepped out of the restroom, Jasmine’s phone rang from inside her bag. She answered it, though Autumn couldn’t hear what was said on the other end.
