A Successful Career After Divorce

Ranita’s ears turned red.

Just as she was about to respond, another photo came in with a ding. Ayaan sat beside him, one of them smiling foolishly, the other raising an eyebrow seductively.

“What’s going on?” Allen Stuart suddenly asked, leaning over curiously.

Ranita quickly turned off her phone, acting like a thief. “Nothing, nothing! Let’s continue with what we were discussing.”

“Oh, oh! I will definitely do my best with what you asked me to do!” Allen Stuart paused and then said, “Ranita, can you talk to Brendon and ask him to give me my phone back?”

Ranita raised an eyebrow. “Your phone?”Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Yeah! He took my phone… back in Berlin, I think? Anyway, it’s been a long time, I almost forgot about it!” Allen Stuart said pitifully. “He’s too much, taking my phone and not giving it back. It has a lot of my classmates’ and friends’ contacts.”

“You mean Brendon took your phone, so when I messaged you before, did you know?”

Allen Stuart hesitated.

Ranita immediately understood. Brendon, that bastard!

“I’ll ask Brendon to return your phone.” She picked up her bag. “It’s about time; I need to get back to the hospital.”

“I’ll take you…”

“No need! You focus on getting information about Dr. Pearson.” Ranita walked quickly, and if one paid attention, they could sense a bit of anger in her steps.

As soon as Ranita left, Allen Stuart received a call from Brendon. The man’s voice was displeased. “Allen Stuart, how long are you going to have dinner with my Ranita?”

“Uncle, where’s mommy?” Ayaan also came over and asked softly.

Allen Stuart felt sweet inside being called uncle and quickly comforted his little nephew. “Ayaan, mommy just went back to the hospital. Uncle and mommy found a really fun and delicious place. Next time, we’ll take you there, okay?”

“Okay!” Ayaan giggled. “Uncle, Ayaan loves you.”

“Uncle loves you too, Ayaan is great!”

Brendon interrupted him. “Allen Stuart, shut up! Don’t spoil my son!”

“Has Ranita returned?”

“Uh! She just left!” Allen Stuart thought for a moment but didn’t mention the phone. “She should be at the hospital in about half an hour!”

“Ranita said she needed something from you. What does she want?” Brendon felt indignant. Did she think Allen Stuart could handle things better than he could? It was infuriating!

Brendon was sullen.

“Brendon, do you want to know?” Allen Stuart said with a gossipy tone. “Ranita is very worried about Dr. Pearson and asked me to find out about his situation.”

“Steve Pearson?” Brendon rubbed his temples. “He joined the medical aid team in Africa. He moves around a lot and is hard to contact.”

“Oh… you know? Why don’t you tell Ranita directly?”

“The last update I got was ten days ago. I don’t know his current situation. The project leader in South Africa has good connections; call him and say it’s on my orders.”

Allen Stuart was stunned. “Brendon, I thought you didn’t like Dr. Pearson!”

Brendon snapped back. “Why do you care so much? Just go do your job!”
