You Are The Pursuit of My Life novel Chapter 5

Edric wore a look of indifference as he gave those cruel instructions to the guards and Irene lowered her gaze to conceal the look of sadness in her eyes.

"Is Edric's heart made of stone? I've never let him down in any way throughout our five years of relationship and three years of marriage. Why is he so cruel to me?" she thought.

"Three years ago, Edric had sent me packing with nothing to my name. Now that we're meeting again for the first time in three years, he's going to send me to the police station without even bothering to get his facts right."

Men were the most cruel creatures in the world and Edric was one of the leaders of the pack.

"I must have been blind to have fallen in love with such a cold-blooded and heartless man back then," she thought.

Irene was adamant not to apologize and was eventually brought to the police station.

Just when the police asked her some basic questions, Irene's phone rang - it was a call from Jordan. After Irene answered the call,

Jordan yelled in exasperation, "Irene, where the hell are you? Didn't I tell you to wait in the lounge?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Reed!" Irene apologized repeatedly. "Something unexpected happened and I'm currently at the police station."

"What? The police station? Why are you in the police station?"

"Well... Well..." Irene was at a loss as to what to say. She knew that couldn't possibly tell Jordan that she had bumped into the mistress who ruined her marriage and was sent to the police station by her ex-husband because she lost her temper and got into a conflict with the mistress.

Jordan became impatient when he noticed how hesitant she was and yelled, "You could stay in the police station if that's what you like. I don't need an assistant like you anymore. I'll call Nathan right away!"

She then heard the sound of a beeping tone on the other end of the line. Jordan had hung up the phone. Irene's heart sank when she realized that she had gotten herself into legal trouble and would soon lose her job a well.

The police felt sorry for her when they saw how pale she seemed and kindly reminded her, "Miss, of all the people in the world, why did you offend this couple? Mind you that the lady is Mr. Cook's precious daughter while and the man, Edric, is a business tycoon. Be sensible and apologize to them. You'll be able to resolve the matter with an apology. I have Mr. Myers's number if you need. Why don't you call him an put in a good word for yourself?"

Irene's lips curled up into a smile and she replied, "Thank you, sir. Now that I've lost my job and have no where to go, being locked up here might help me to tide through things for the time being since I wouldn't have to worry about food and shelter. Forget about the apology."
