The Divorce That Brought Us Back novel Chapter 129

[I am so done with this.]

[Parker literally dismantled my secretary's desk. He said from now on, he's going to be my personal assistant.]

[What?!]

[It's infuriating. I have a massive board meeting this afternoon, and he shoved all the documents my secretary prepped straight into the shredder.]

[My god, what are you supposed to do?]

[I'll talk to you guys later. I need to deal with this.]

The chat went quiet for over an hour.

Cassidy finally broke the silence: [Wait, my meeting is over. Are Nora and her husband still 'cooking'?]

Jasmine: [Oh wow, that's impressive.]

Nora quickly joined the chat: [I was busy.]

Cassidy: [Are you done cooking?]

Nora: [...]

She rapidly changed the subject: [Did your meeting go smoothly?]

[Smoothly enough.]

[We had digital backups. My secretary just reprinted everything.]

[The main issue is that Parker is a complete psycho. I have no idea what his endgame is!]

[He actually tried to crash the boardroom and take my secretary's place today.]

[Does he genuinely believe he has the required skills to be my assistant?]

Sitting at her executive desk, Cassidy kept her eyes glued to her screen, furiously venting to her friends.

Parker was standing right next to her.

He bit his tongue. And bit it again.

Finally, he snapped. "Are you done?!"

Cassidy didn't even look up. "What do you want?"

Sixty seconds wasn't even enough to capture his entire unhinged monologue.

After firing off the audio clip, Cassidy typed: [I have no idea what he's trying to accomplish. Can someone translate this for me?]

Nora: [He means he's willing to do the easy stuff that makes him look like a good guy, but he refuses to do anything that actually requires daily time and effort.]

Jasmine: [Wait, hold on. Why is he saying you cheated?]

Cassidy: [He smashed the daily protein snacks my fitness coach prepped for me and claimed some random guy was hitting on me.]

Seeing Cassidy blissfully ignoring him for her phone, Parker exploded. "Cassidy! I am talking to you!"

Cassidy let out a long, exhausted sigh.

"Parker."

"Mrs. Quincy already made the call. As of today, you are officially suspended indefinitely. The company-wide memo has already gone out. You don't need to come in tomorrow."

"As you so eloquently pointed out, I am pregnant, not paralyzed. I can drive my own car, I can feed myself, and I can handle my own medical appointments. I do not need your 'care.'"

"Even though you're suspended, your salary won't be docked a single cent. Feel free to go out and party to your heart's content."
