The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back) novel Chapter 22

The Taste of Rejection 

3RD POV: 

Hours Later: 

“Sir, I will be leaving now but you have a guest.” Elijah’s assistant announced with a sigh but Elijah’s eyes were fixated on the beautiful view of the city from where he stood. 

He often spaced out like that just taking in the beauty of the city, and picturing ways his life could be and could have been. Some other times he just stood thete hinking about the company and a new strategy or an investment and stocks to occupy his mind. 

“Hey honey.” He was instantly brought back to reality by the sound of Janet’s voice making him instantly roll his eyes in a full circle before turning back. 

He watched as she strolled in and his assistant smiled as though she was sympathising with him and she shut the door. 

“I’m so happy to see you! I feel like I barely do since you’re almost never around.” She embraced him and pouted batting her eyelids at him- 

“You can’t even hug me back.” She said with a frown when he pulled away and headed to his seat. 

He let out a deep sigh, “I’ve had a long day and I’m exhausted, this is the last thing I need.” 

Janet stared at him skeptically, and admired how handsome he looked with his white shirt sleeves slightly rolled up and a strand of his hair in his face. She rubbed her red coated lips together, staring at his soft tiny lips. 

She thought for a moment and asked seductively, “Okay…I get it. How about I ease your stress?” 

“Your girl misses you and wants some sugar.” She whispered as she bent a little in front of him with her hands on his lap and she pecked his lips. 

“I’m not in the mood, Janet. Go home.” He ordered in a commanding tone and turned away from her direction and back to the pile of documents on his table. 2 

She frowned again with anger pumping through her veins, as she hated the feeling of rejection whether it was intentional or not. 

“Who is she, Elijah?” She questioned raising her voice. 

What if it was really Hannah there tonight and she and Elijah were seeing each other behind my back? Janet thought but instantly dismissed it with the thought at the back of her mind reminding her that Hannah could never amount to anything and Elijah never even had only one feeling towards Hannah and it was hate for marrying him.
