The Divorcee Who Shines novel Chapter 68

Chapter 68 Helping to Pick Vegetables

Ranita's frustration was mounting.

Fortunately, the elevator had reached their floor, and she swiftly stepped out, eager to avoid any further interaction with Brendon. He trailed behind her, observing the anger swelling in her cheeks, inexplicably lifting his own spirits.

The workday was drawing to a close, yet everyone in the secretary's office remained, except for Caleb. Ranita worked at Stuart's Corp and had her own modest office within the secretary's department.

As she made her way towards her office, Brendon suddenly called out, "Ranita, come to my office!"

Although Ranita could easily get annoyed by trivial matters during an elevator ride, she understood the significance of their upcoming meeting and could distinguish between what truly mattered and what didn't. Without saying much, she followed Brendon into his office.

"Have a seat and eat," Brendon instructed, pointing to a takeout box on his desk. "We only have twenty minutes for dinner."

In the past, when they were both swamped with work, they would often share meals like this. There were many foods he disliked, but Ranita wasn't picky, so she would always help finish them off.

"I'll change my clothes first," Brendon said, adding, "Remember not to give me anything I dislike."

Ranita was about to protest. They were already divorced, so why should she go out of her way to accommodate him? But Brendon walked away too quickly, even closing the lounge door behind him!

Ranita glanced at the time. The video conference was scheduled for an hour later, and after finishing her meal, she still needed to review and verify the materials for the meeting. Time was running out.

So, Ranita didn't wait for Brendon and began eating her takeout alone. When Brendon emerged and saw the untouched box, he furrowed his brow and asked, "You didn't pick out my food?"

"Mr. Stuart, selecting your food isn't part of my job description! How about... you call Miss Murphy? Maybe she can come over?" Ranita replied nonchalantly.

Ranita was on a roll!
