Sweet Divorce novel Chapter 83

Still, she was unaware of Liam standing behind her.

It’s the photo all she cared about now.

She would never have thought that somebody witnessed her and Oliver and took photo of them.

Now she’s known by the whole school, notoriously.

The comment section was full of comments cursing her, so she didn't read much.

She tried to figure out who the poster was, but all she could get was the poster’s nickname, an ellipsis.

The level of the account was low, somebody must’ve signed up a new account just to release the photo.

She couldn’t get any information about the poster from the profile, but she’s certain that the poster must know her, and more than just know her.

Was it Charlotte?

No. Charlotte was busing sucking up to grandma these days and haven’t been at scholl for half a month.

Then who it could be?

But one thing was for sure, this was a vicious attack.

Her name was being dragged into mud now.

She had to handle this fast enough.

The thought of that prompted her to go back the room.

But she bumped into someone’s chest when she whirled.

For an instant, her body stiffened.

Liam.

When did he come out?

How long had he been standing behind her?

Did he see the photo?

“All good?” Liam asked gruffly.

She nodded, “yes.”

Liam responded with a plain “well”, fixing his eyes on Rita like he was waiting for something.

But she didn't utter a word after a while.

His face darkened. “Then go back to the office and resume your work.”

“Wait.”

Rita stopped him hurriedly as he tried to leave.

“What?” Liam asked, pretending to be confused.

Rita bit her lip, said flatly. “I need to get back to school.”

When he heard that she wanted to go back to school, his eyes flared though he manage to keep a calm outlook. “What’s the urgency?”

Rita noticed the anomaly in Liam’s eyes.

He must’ve seen the photo, she thought.

He would’ve locked her up if this happened months ago.

He must be restraining himself from doing so due to the awkward relation between them.

Still, she knew what he was thinking.

He didn't know his grandpa to know this, it’s going to get him so bent out of shape.

“I’ll handle the photo ASAP. I won’t let it affect your company or let your grandpa know this.” She chose to confess rather than conceal it.

“Need my help?” Liam asked plainly.

“No, thanks. I can take care of it.”

A hint of frustration flashed in Liam’s eyes when he heard her refusal. But conceal that soon enough so that Rita didn't notice.

Rita took his silence as agreement.

She went back in the room to pick her coat and then left.

Liam’s face darkened as Rita vanished from his vision.

And Jacob just happened to come and see this.

He sensed the intensity instantly, his mouth twitching.

It’s screwed. Why did he always choose the worst time to see Liam?

Next time he gotta make sure that Liam’s not in a bad mood before he show up in front of him.

“Liam, your Eve just left?” Jacob managed to muster the courage to talk to Liam.

He tried to lighten the mood but it turned out to do the opposite. He now could see the flame burning so fiercely in Liam eyes.

Damn it!

He spoke out of turn again!

Fuck!

Liam whirled back to the room while Jacob did his complaint to himself.
