The Divorcee Who Shines novel Chapter 97

Chapter 97 Being Stubborn

"Brendon, why are you calling me so late?" Chris had just gotten home and barely had a chance to take a sip of water before Brendon's call came in.

"Where are you?" Brendon's voice was heavy, and he didn't sound too happy. Chris could probably guess why. "I'm at home."

"I ran into Ranita when I left Boulderland Mansion. She wasn't feeling well, so I took her to the hotel." Chris kindly explained, "Don't worry, I didn't take advantage of her."

"Who asked you to explain?" Brendon coldly retorted, "I divorced Ranita and have nothing to do with her anymore. It doesn't matter who she's with now."

Chris chuckled lightly, "Then why did you call me?"

Brendon found himself unable to argue back.

"Want to come out for a drink?" Brendon forcefully changed the subject.

"No thanks," Chris replied with another laugh. "I'm pretty tired tonight and want to rest early."

After a pause, Chris added, "Ranita is in room 1988 at the Four Seasons Hotel if anything comes up!"

Chris hung up the phone and finally loosened his tie as he leaned back on the couch. He couldn't help but mock himself for being such an obedient person.

Unable to get hold of Chris, Brendon ended up taking Caleb out instead!

Caleb looked very innocent, but as a dedicated subordinate, he had to help alleviate his boss's concerns. He could only muster the courage and say, "Mr. Stuart, is there anything I can assist you with?"

Brendon glanced at him without saying anything; he simply tasted the red wine in his glass silently.

Caleb shut up altogether after that while Brendon drank two glasses before suddenly asking Caleb half-closed eyes, "Caleb, I feel terrible."
