Sweet Divorce novel Chapter 91

“Rita, let’s go.”

Liam’s voice rang again and brought her to the elevator grabbing her waist while Rita was still stuck in disbelief.

The jaws of the staff were all over the floor at the sight of this.

Who is this guy? Was the boss possessed by ghosts? He’s never been so gentle before!

The staff gathered around soon as Rita and Liam were out of earshot.

“Holy shit. Is there something wrong with my ear? I just think Mr. Liam’s voice sounds so gentle today.”

“You’re the only one who thinks so. And it’s not just gentle, it’s spoiling.”

The staff all nodded in agreement. And in unison, they turned to study Rita, curiosity filled them.

“Who’s this woman? She just melts an ice-berg.”

Jacob entered while they were wondering. “The C.E.O just called her his wife. Who do you think she is?”

“She’s Mr. Liam’s wife?” someone blurted, and Jacob admitted silently with his hands fanned out.

“But people say that Mr. Liam doesn’t love his wife.” The receptionist asked curiously.

Yeah, the rumor was true once.

But it’s the past now.

And now…

Jacob peered at Liam on the back, his mouth twitching. Now, Liam’s crazy in love with Rita.

“Seeing is believing, girl.”

The receptionist paused, then realized what Jacob meant.

Nobody in the company knew Rita. However, everyone knew how close Jacob and Liam were.

Since Jacob said that Rita was Liam’s wife, no one would doubt that anymore. Some of the staff started to fret, worrying that Rita might have heard what they said.

And some girls were filled with jealousy when they looked at Rita.

Rita was oblivious of people’s change in attitude after she left. She just followed Liam into the elevator.

The door closed. And for an instant, Rita took a step to the right to keep a distance with Liam.

She took what Liam had done out there as a show he put up for grandpa’s spies.

Silence fell in as they entered the elevator.

Finally, Liam broke the silence. “Have lunch with me today. I’ll ask Secretary Kim to arrange it.”

Hurriedly, Rita refused. “No, thanks. I’ll just have my lunch at the cafeteria.”

“Boiled meat and fried beans?”Liam asked despite of her refusal.

He’s still as domineering as he had always been.

Maybe she got used to it, Rita didn’t feel like arguing with him. She just pretended that she didn’t hear him and took her leave when the elevator ascended to her floor.

Liam watched her as she left, depressed.

He could sense the reluctance she had when she was with him.

But he could do little to change that now.

At noon.

Rita turned off her computer and headed to the cafeteria for lunch while her colleague had already left.

She saw a pair of heels when she opened the door.

She raised her head to see who it was.

“Miss Rita,” Secretary Kim gave her a smile, then strode into the room. “Mr. Liam asked me to bring you your lunch. They’re all your favorites. Spicy hotpot, boiled meat and dried beans.”

She put the food on the table as she said.

Then she waved at someone waiting outside, and several employees from the secretary department came in and served up dishes one by one.

Within seconds, no room was left on Rita’s desk.

She frowned at the dishes on the table.

Nobody changes his decision.

She was a little annoyed, but she didn’t manifest it in front of Secretary Kim.

“Miss Rita, do you have any other request.” Secretary Kim asked after others took their leaves.

Rita shook her head, “no, but…” she peered at the desk, said. “It’s too much, I can’t have them all. Would you just leave the shrimps here and share the rest with other colleagues?”

Secretary Kim replied her only with a smile and then whirled to leave.

Rita was confused by Secretary Kim’s smile. What did it mean?

She turned to Secretary Kim and asked, “Secretary Kim, do you not like these?”

“She has her own lunch. “Liam entered, and walked up to Rita. He muss up her hair. “These are ours.”

Ours?
