The Divorce That Brought Us Back novel Chapter 132

He decided to keep Lola around.

It was just one more person on the payroll; the firm could certainly afford it.

Compared to the corporate sycophants who feigned respect, Lola was a pure, adorable angel.

The moment they stepped into his office, things took a turn.

Lola practically skipped in, but her foot slipped on the sleek floor, sending her pitching forward.

The coffee flew from her hands and hit Parker squarely in the back. The lid popped off, splashing dark brown liquid all over his dress shirt.

"Ah! I'm so sorry!" Lola was horrified. Staring at the massive stain spreading across his back, she stood frozen for a few seconds before suddenly remembering something. She rushed over to the nearby bookshelf and pulled a spare shirt from the top cabinet.

"I'm so sorry, Manager Quincy. Really, I'm so sorry. Let me help you change."

Seeing her panic-stricken face, Parker chuckled. "It's just a little accident, don't let it scare you like that."

"I'm so clumsy." Lola tapped her own head in self-reproach as she reached for his collar. "Manager Quincy, let me help you out of this first. The coffee is all sticky, you must be so uncomfortable."

Lola earnestly began unbuttoning his shirt, clumsily but determinedly pulling the sleeves down his arms.

Her slender, soft fingers occasionally brushed against his skin.

The sensation of being catered to was simply impossible to refuse.

Once the fresh shirt was on, Lola reached for his belt buckle.

Parker flinched back a step.

"I'm sorry, Manager Quincy, but it got on your pants too."

Lola reached out once more.

Parker caught her hand, stopping her. "I'll do it myself."

"It's my fault, please let me."

Lola tried to insist, but Parker held his ground. Helpless, she finally gave up.

Pulling her hands back, Lola suddenly bowed deeply. "I'm so sorry, Manager Quincy."

Parker had barely opened his mouth.

Cassidy landed a crisp, powerful slap right across his face.

She didn't hold back. Back in the day, she could carry both Nora Dodge and Jasmine Smith on her own. Although her pregnancy had taken a toll on her stamina, her physical strength hadn't diminished much.

The heavy blow sent Parker stumbling sideways.

His body crashed into the desk.

"Parker."

Cassidy finally spoke. "You managed to keep your pants zipped, and now you think you're something special?"

"I know you never slept with Lola. She told me everything. That time she sat on your lap eating cake? She insisted on feeding you, purposefully lost her balance, and fell right into your lap."

"You didn't initiate a thing."

"The passenger seat, feeding you cake, changing your clothes... if you listed all these things out loud, even a judge might not legally classify them as adultery."
