Semua Bab After Divorce, I Return As CEO : Bab 121 - Bab 130

The tears eventually stopped falling, but of course, not because she couldn’t cry no more, but because if she didn’t stop, she’d eventually end up in the hospital, ruining the enlightenment that had come to her in a time of heartbreak.If she couldn’t have Gadreel, then no one could; that was said enlightenment the Lord had bestowed upon her, as she called it.Except, she decided to tweak this enlightenment a little bit. She knew Ivory was a gold digging bitch, meaning she was only flocking around Gadreel and messing up their lives because he had money, fame and power.Take all that honey away, and the flies would disappear.Pressing her phone against her ear, she listened to the line ring. After the third ring, it was answered.“Ms. Remington, what a pleasant surprise to receive your call. And here I was thinking you had run away with you tails tucked between your legs.”The familiar voice, along with taunts of Mr. Foe, reached her ears, but Evangeline was in no mood to entertain his

Ivory was quick to jump out of the car as soon as it pulled into Elixiron’s parking lot. She had spent more than enough time, encased in the same space as Gadreel, to want to be another second closer to him.“Thanks for the ride,” She muttered as she closed the door and turned in the other direction.However, Gadreel rolled down the window and called out to her.“Ivory,” He watched as she turned to him, arched a brow and waited for what he wanted to say.But even after a few seconds, he couldn’t bring the words to come out of his mouth.I’m sorry for the way I treated you, he wanted to say, but those words were stuck in his throat, making them hard to come out.After a few more seconds of trying, he decided to give up, for today at least.“It’s nothing, never mind.” He said and rolled up the window, driving away and leaving Ivory standing there, confused.Well, if Gadreel wasn’t getting weirder by the second, then she didn’t know what else to think.Turning around, she walked into Eli

Ivory’s entire face crumbled with confusion as she looked at Lucien.“What?” She asked, trying to understand if she had just heard him clearly.She had and as a matter of fact, Lucien boldly repeated those words again.“Ødexa is finally facing its downfall. That’s good, isn’t it?” He said and flashed her that innocent looking smile of his.Ivory was speechless. But when she did manage to say something, it came out as a scrambled Sentence.“What…I don’t…I don’t get. What’s so good about,” she glanced back at the report. “This?”“Everything,” Came Lucien’s answer and when Ivory glanced at him, she was once again startled by how close he was.He had leaned forward, resting one hand on the table, while the other controlled the mouse, pulling up stock data.“Take a look at this,” He said, gesturing towards the monitor. But Ivory’s gaze remained on him. “Elixiron’s value has risen by 9% despite the damage incurred not too long ago. And I’m sure that’s because of what’s happening to Ødexa. S

“I don’t get it.”It was the third person they have visited, and the third time they had been disappointed.Beside her, Gadreel looked her way, a silent indication that he was waiting for her to continue. And that Ivory did.“Why have petty bastards refused to talk? Is there a law against such, or so they just want to see your company in trouble?”As they walked towards Gadreel car, she glanced his way and scrunched up her face.“It seems you’ve made way too many enemies in this life, Gadreel.” She commented, pulling the door open and entering the car as Gadreel unlocked it and did so himself.“It comes with the business,” Was his simple reply as he turned on the car and began driving.If Ivory wasn’t too busy mulling over the fact that their last approach has gone to shit, perhaps she would have seen the glances he threw at his rare view mirror ever now and then.“Ah,” she sighed and leaned her head against the seat. “We’re back to square one, aren’t we?”“Not quite,” Gadreel handed

Four hours had passed and Lucien hadn't heard news from the two people he had expected to hear back from.Ivory was one of them, and considering how things had turned out before she left, he couldn't help but worry that she had decided not to return, made uncomfortable by his presence.At that moment, Elias's words replayed in his mind- Ivory was going to leave him the moment she found out how he truly was like- and abruptly, the tapping of his finger against the table, came to a stop."Shit," he muttered, lowering his head and sighing.Why the hell were things suddenly spiraling out of control? Why the hell was Ivory suddenly doing things she wasn't meant to?And why the fucking hell, has he not heard any news from Carlos concerning that bastard's death?!Ah fuck, Lucien had the urge to flip the table in front of him.He was a perfectionist, someone who didn't like mess ups, and he hated having his plans not fall according to his calculations.And that's why he hated that bastard.
