Resign with Grace Return with Fire novel Chapter 17

Chapter 17

“So what if you beat us in court, Fred? In the end, I’m still the winner in life. You’re furious right now, aren’t you? Well, blame yourself for not having my moves,” Lester texted.

His and Sandra’s taunting texts didn’t affect my mood. Something did feel off, though.

Lester was a total showpiece. He hadn’t even finished high school, never had any real education, and knew nothing about running a company. How could he possibly bring a dying business back to life?

With that in mind, I hired someone to look into the matter. As expected, Lester had done something underhanded.

I was about to send the evidence I’d gathered to Sandra when I suddenly remembered that we were no longer anything to each other. We were broken up, so why should her fate be my business?

Besides, even if I sent it, she wouldn’t believe me. She would think that I was jealous of Lester and that I’d faked the proof to smear him. If she wouldn’t believe me, why would I want to invite trouble?

With that thought, I shook my head and put the files back in my drawer. I decided to let Sandra and Lester fend for themselves.

Just then, my boss called, asking me to represent the company at a bid meeting. I agreed and drove to the venue.

As luck would have it, I saw two familiar figures the minute I arrived. They were none other than Sandra and Lester.

She wore a wine-colored evening gown, while Lester wore a white suit. His hair was slicked back, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses perched on his nose. He looked like a refined gentleman.

Red and white made the perfect contrast. They instantly drew every eye the moment they walked in.
