Getting My Ex-wife Back

Initially, Raeleigh thought they were going back to the hospital, but instead, they went to Jepherson’s company.

She stared at the company building from inside the car, wondering why Jepherson would return to his company at night.

She did not know what to say. So, she only sat there in silence.

“Come out.” Jepherson got out of the car and waited for Raeleigh. However, she didn’t seem to acknowledge him. Instead, she stayed in the car, refusing to come out.

She came out to relax, not to follow Jepherson to the company. She felt that she was not ready yet, and it was not the right time to go to work, not to mention it was then late at night.

“I’m not coming out. You may go in if you have something to do. I will wait for you outside,” she said. Then, she turned her face away from him.

Jepherson gazed at the company’s entrance. Just like any other company, they were also closed at night. But sometimes, there were exceptions.

His eyes wandered to Raeleigh’s face. He stood outside the car and said, “I’m going inside to search for something. It’s cold outside at night. Please come in with me.”

“I don’t feel cold. It’s warm inside the car. If you are going to stay for a long time, then I’ll tell the driver to take me home.”

Raeleigh’s determined words scared the driver out of his wits. He would not dare to go back without Jepherson’s orders.

Jepherson glanced at Raeleigh inadvertently. “Come down. It will be more troublesome if I go up alone. You know that I am not kidding.”

Raeleigh was so furious that her face had turned red. He promised to take her out for a walk, but instead of taking a walk, he took her to Deanna’s place. And right then, they were here.

She turned her head swiftly and glared at Jepherson, but he kept persuading her. “Come down. We’ll leave after a while. I promise you that I won’t touch you or force you to do anything. We’ll leave whenever you want.”

Raeleigh pondered for a while, and she then came out of the car. She looked around her before following him into the building.

Apparently, Jepherson had already made arrangements. The building’s entrance opened instantly when he arrived at the door.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Raeleigh followed him into the hall and immediately squinted. The lights inside were as bright as daytime. They stepped into the elevator and went directly to Jepherson’s office on the top floor.

After pushing the door open, Jepherson paused and looked at Raeleigh. Raeleigh walked into the office, sensing a great amount of pressure on her.

She was familiar with the office, but she did not want to stay here for long.

Jepherson closed the office door shut and said, “Sometimes, I design drawings too. In the beginning, I only did it in the office. But I never let anyone find out about this.”

“Our job requires us to stay vigilant at all times. Anyone might steal our belongings, and you and I are no exception!”

He walked into the office and shrugged off his coat, and he then hung it on the clothes rack. After that, he turned around and walked towards the bookshelf behind him. He pushed the bookshelf to the side and a hidden door was revealed. Behind the door was a brightly lit room.

Raeleigh froze on the spot at such a sight, her entire body unresponsive.

“This is my other world. I bet you didn’t expect me to have such a secret place, did you?”

Jepherson turned around and entered the secret passage behind the bookshelf, leaving Raeleigh in shock. After a moment, Raeleigh returned to her senses and began moving forward.

After the two of them went into the secret room, Jepherson closed the door and turned to stare at Raeleigh’s surprised face.

At that moment, Raeleigh was admiring the layout of the secret room. It was similar to a small studio, the rectangular layout extending into the interior. She thought that it was only a background wall behind the bookshelf and that Jepherson was utilizing the space to store all kinds of books that he liked to read.

To her surprise, there was a studio hidden behind the bookshelf once they pushed it aside.

“This place is well-ventilated because there is a huge window on the opposite side of the room, and you can see things far away through the window. There are all kinds of working models and tables filled with drawings on both sides of the room, as well as a few chairs.”

Raeleigh turned to look at him suspiciously. “You are alone. Why would you prepare so many chairs?”

Jepherson chuckled and replied, “I’m not alone. Occasionally, I will take a rest here with Santiago. Sometimes, he does not want his parents to know he’s back. So, he will live here for a few days while I work outside. There is a toilet and a bathroom here. It’s very convenient. You see, there is another room further down the studio. That’s the place for cooking, but there is nothing to eat inside. It’s just a kitchen.”

Raeleigh walked towards the direction Jepherson had described and found that there was indeed a glass door at the end of the studio. She pushed it open and saw a small but fully-fitted kitchen.

She stood outside the kitchen blankly, and she then turned to look at Jepherson. “Are you two still staying here?”

“I don’t really stay here much. After all, I can’t come in without leaving. The staff will suspect that something is going on.”

“Some people in the company know that I have a design room here, but very few of them know that I would occasionally come over. Especially late at night.”

“I like to watch the outside world from here.”

He strode to the window to take a look as he spoke. Raeleigh followed him to the window. She then stood beside him and looked outside. After a long while, she asked, “Why did you bring me here?”

“Nothing. I just thought that you have something for me,” he replied as he walked to the side and sank into the couch. She watched as he sat down, and when she thought of the moment when they were in the car, she chuckled. “Good observation.”

“Same to you.” Jepherson lifted his eyes to look at her. She had to admit that he had a pair of enchanting eyes. His eyes were full of charm. She had never seen a man with such deep eyes and thick eyelashes like Jepherson’s.

Raeleigh read from somewhere before that a man with thick eyelashes was usually sensitive, but she didn’t find him sensitive. Instead, she thought that he was not easy to get along with, and he was a cunning person.

His personality reminded her of an animal, a fox.

He was as cunning as a fox. It was not an overstatement to call him a fox.

She walked towards Jepherson from where she stood, and she then looked down at him and asked, “Can I redeem myself with my secondary work?”

The corners of Jepherson’s mouth curled into a sly grin, his beautiful chiselled face looking even more charming under the light. “You are now part of our company, and all of your works are owned by the company. How can you use your secondary work to redeem yourself?”

Raeleigh replied after a pause, “Although this is the case, what if I don’t hand my work to you and sell it to other people in need instead? In this way, the company will suffer losses. After all, there are no rules saying that I must hand in all my work to the company, right?”

Raeleigh argued. Jepherson was still smiling nonchalantly. He leaned against the wall and said, “You may say so. But there are other rules. Since the company dares to hire people like you and allow you all to work freely, they must have a way to find out whether you created these works. Once the company finds out that you have done something that hinders the company’s development, the company will hand the case over to the legal institutions.”

“I believe that you are a smart person. You know very well the importance of reputation and that it is above everything else.”
