A Successful Career After Divorce

It wasn’t until the door of the private room closed that everyone inside reacted.

Lily was the first to ask nervously, “Hubby, do you know him? What’s his background? Why are you so tense?”

“Yeah! Who is he exactly?” Diana Heath also asked anxiously. She had a bad feeling but was unwilling to accept it.

William Duncan looked at Lily and Diana Heath with a grim expression. “Of course, you don’t know him. I only saw Mr. Stuart from afar at a business event… Do you know Stuart’s Corp? He’s a big boss!”

Who didn’t know Stuart’s Corp?

Everyone in the room combined couldn’t match even a fraction of his wealth! Lily’s face turned pale. “Hubby, did you see it wrong?”

“How could the big boss of Stuart’s Corp be with Ranita?”

William Duncan was speechless. “Didn’t you see them holding hands? Lily, I told you not to get too hostile with Ranita, but you wouldn’t listen! Now you’ve offended Mr. Stuart…”

“If he decides to deal with us… you’ve really put us in a bad spot!”

Now not only Lily’s face turned white, but Diana Heath was also extremely nervous. She clutched Lily’s arm, her face full of fear. “Lily, what should we do? We said those things about Ranita just now; will she tell on us…”

“You were indeed a bit excessive earlier. We’re all classmates; why say such sarcastic things?” At this point, another classmate at the table couldn’t help but complain.

“Exactly… We came out for a nice dinner, and you ruined it.”Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Ranita didn’t do anything; you just had to provoke her, and now you’ve hit a brick wall!”

…

In no time, the entire private room was as noisy as a marketplace, with everyone complaining about each other’s behavior, yet no one reflecting on their own attitude earlier.

Ranita, who had been taken away, was also quite emotional. She held Brendon’s fingers and asked with a suppressed smile, “Why did you scare them like that just now?”

“I wasn’t scaring them!” Brendon said seriously. “What do you think? Should we teach them a lesson?”

By lesson, Brendon meant dealing a blow to their careers.

Although Lily and Diana Heath were quite annoying, it hadn’t been easy for them to struggle since graduation. There was no need to ruin their lives over a small quarrel.

“Forget it. With your scare just now, I guess they won’t dare anymore!” Ranita sighed. “I’m not trying to be a saint; I just think it’s not easy for them either.”

Ranita feared Brendon might be upset and explained, “Actually, if you hadn’t come just now, I was planning to take revenge myself!”

“How were you planning to take revenge?” Brendon asked curiously.

“Ah… That restaurant was indeed quite expensive. I was planning to freeload and order a few bottles of wine that would make them feel the pinch.” Ranita said with a low laugh. “Seems a bit silly!”

The woman smiled joyfully, her lips curving into an arch, her bright face glowing like sunshine.

Brendon loved seeing Ranita smile; it made the world seem filled with light.

“It is a bit silly! Whispering sweet nothings to me might have been more effective!” Brendon said with a low laugh, his eyes filled with suggestion.

Ranita felt her face heat up.

Who would whisper sweet nothings!

“I don’t want to!” Ranita said softly. “Weren’t we saying we were hungry? Let’s go eat!”

“Yes, let’s go eat!” Brendon held her fingers and led her to the reserved restaurant.
