Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband? novel Chapter 5

"I'll do it myself."

Adrian brushed off Harper's hand and clumsily dressed himself. After washing up, he bounded downstairs for breakfast.

He found the dining room empty—just him and the quiet morning. His father, Lysander, had left early for work at the company.

After eating, Adrian indulged in cartoons and video games, losing himself in the vibrant distractions. But a whole morning of solitary play quickly grew dull. He longed for Giselle's company.

However, his father had made it clear yesterday that they were busy and Adrian shouldn't visit the office.

Clutching his game console in frustration, Adrian suddenly had a bright idea. His dad adored Giselle. If he told her he wanted to visit, surely his dad wouldn't mind.

Acting on his plan, Adrian grabbed his phone and called Giselle. Once she agreed, he cheered and asked Harper to help him change clothes, then requested the driver to take him to his dad's company.

Sterling Bank, Technical Department.

In the conference room, members from front-end, back-end, UI design, and product management gathered for a meeting.

"Are these the final requirements for the shopping page? Can we confirm this?" Mila asked, her eyes fixed on the projected document on the wall displaying the new company requirements and UI designs.

After receiving confirmation from the product and UI teams, she reiterated, "Alright, let's proceed with this. Front and back ends, organize your tasks and hand me a detailed timeline by the end of the day. Address any issues before you leave."

"Meeting adjourned."

With that, Mila exited the room, heading to the Technical Director's office. She had been in back-to-back meetings since she arrived that morning, and now she needed a moment to breathe before submitting her resignation.
