Getting My Ex-wife Back

By the time Raeleigh woke up, Jepherson was already occupied with his work. She sat up, and the clothes that were covering her slid down. Picking it up, she swept her eyes over to Jepherson, who then said, “Did you sleep well?”

Raeleigh scratched her head. “Was I asleep for a long time?”

“Not very long, just a few hours.”

Raeleigh was speechless. To her, a few hours was indeed a long time.

“We will have a meeting later, is that okay? Otherwise, I’ll ask them to come over.” Jepherson picked up the phone and began dialing, as he looked at her questioningly. Raeleigh immediately replied that there was no need for them to attend the meeting here since she was fine.

Making the call, Jepherson instructed his subordinates, “Arrange for the meeting. As I’ve told you, prepare the proposal right away.”

After putting down the phone, he got up and began to change his clothes in front of Raeleigh. Raeleigh felt that her scent could be found on his body, but she was not very certain.

“I’m going to the washroom.”

Raeleigh stood up and went to the bathroom. She opened the door and washed her hands, intending to tidy up her attire. However, when she looked down, she noticed that there was something wrong with her belt, which had been moved.

Raeleigh unfastened it and took a look, lost in thought.

At that instant, there was a knock on the washroom door. Raeleigh turned around and gazed at the door. She tidied up herself and said, “Coming.”

She stifled her anger as she dared not to raise h*ll.

As the door was opened, Raeleigh was seen standing inside. “I’ll go out.”

She exited as Jepherson went in to wash his hands. She put on her coat, and they went to the meeting room together.

When Raeleigh and Jepherson arrived at the meeting room, the other people were already there. Unlike the previous times, once they entered the room, they were instantaneously greeted with many pairs of envious and ingratiating eyes.

Jepherson paused momentarily when he entered, and so did Raeleigh.

After they went in, Jepherson pulled out a chair, but he did not sit down. His eyes landed on Raeleigh, who was somewhat embarrassed because that seat was not hers.

“Mr. Richards…”

Raeleigh wanted to let him sit down first, but Jepherson placed his hands on her shoulders and directly pressed her down onto the chair.

After that, Jepherson pulled out another chair and sat down. He leaned against the back of the chair and crossed his legs casually. “Let’s begin.”

Raeleigh threw a glance at him. In her mind, if there was anyone in the world who could be so collected, it must have been Jepherson.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

Her eyes slowly strayed to other people in the room.

One of them stood up. He was from the Planning Department.

“Good afternoon, Mr. Richards. Good afternoon, Miss Anson.”

Without raising his head, Jepherson extended his hand to grab Raeleigh’s, but she refused and withdrew it.

There was an abrupt change in the atmosphere of the room. Everyone thought that Jepherson would blow his top off. However, he remained unfazed while taking his hand back. Afterwards, he knocked on the table and looked at the person who had stood up opposite him.

“Let’s start.”

“Yes, sir.”

The employee began presenting his proposal.

It seemed okay to Raeleigh, but she did not give any comment.

“That’s all with my proposal.”

“Is there anything else?” Jepherson asked the presenter with his head slightly lowered. After he asked that question, Jepherson looked up at him, who shook his head. Then, Jepherson said, “Alright, next.”

What followed was the presentations of the other proposals. Raeleigh was not very satisfied with any of the presentations until the last one.

“Did any of the proposals take your fancy?” Jepherson asked Raeleigh, who then nodded. “Please leave the last one for me.”

“Okay, the last one will be for you, following the original grouping.” Jepherson lifted his hand, beckoning the presenter over. The presenter then handed the document to him. Subsequently, Jepherson stretched out his hand and pulled Raeleigh’s to unclasp the bracelet on her wrist before he took it off in front of everyone. The bracelet was used as a stamp for the document. Then, he took out a pen and signed with Santiago’s initials.

Everybody around held their breath, wondering what was going on.

Fastening the bracelet back onto Raeleigh’s wrist, he gave the document back to the presenter. “Mr. Santiago’s signature is required for this project. I’ve signed it on his behalf. The bracelet on Miss Anson’s wrist is my official stamp.”

The presenter who held the document opened it and took a look without delay to find that Jepherson’s stamp could be seen clearly. Then, he closed the document.

Jepherson stood up and walked towards the door. At the door, he stopped and cast a look at Raeleigh. “Why are you still sitting there?”

Only then did Raeleigh get up and gazed at the presenter. “Email your proposal to me. I’ll modify it. I hope that we will make a great team.”

With that, she turned around to look for Jepherson and the two of them went outside together. Leaving the room, he led the way to the elevator whereas she followed him from behind. As they walked, she felt that there were numerous eyes fixed on her and that they were people whispering something about her behind her back.

“I think you’re too flamboyant. We…”

“There are still three months before the contract comes to an end. Can’t you satisfy my vanity?” Jepherson entered the elevator and turned to stare at Raeleigh, who stood outside the door without responding. He looked at Seibert. “Don’t come in with us.”

While speaking, Jepherson raised his hand to pull Raeleigh in.

Losing her balance, she bumped into his arms. As the door of the elevator was closed, Seibert turned around and left.

On the other hand, the people outside were gossiping about the relationship between Jepherson and Raeleigh.

Immediately, Raeleigh pushed him away in the elevator and stood there silently.

After the door opened, Jepherson stepped out first, followed by Raeleigh. He stood outside and waited for her. It wasn’t until she had come out that he continued to lead the way.

With a knitted brow, Raeleigh followed him.

After going back to the office, she stood aside while he patted the couch. “Sit down.”

“What are we going to do next?”

Raeleigh felt disinclined to be alone with Jepherson. Thus, she felt the urge to go back. If there was nothing else, then she would like to leave his office.

Jepherson, on the other hand, felt differently. He liked to be alone with Raeleigh, disregarding other things.

“You had been sleeping during the lunch break. We’ll go out for lunch later before heading back.”

He took a look at his phone while she stood still. “Then, let’s go for lunch now. After that, we’ll go back to the hospital. I’m a little tired.”

Upon hearing her words, Jepherson gazed at her. Hesitating briefly, he stood up. “Are you really tired?”

“Yes.”

He tidied up his clothes, walked towards the door, and opened it to find that Seibert was standing outside. They left the company. Seibert opened the car door for them while Jepherson stopped and asked him, “How long is your granted bail?”

“I’ll be summoned for trial at any time.”

Jepherson considered it for a while. “If there’s nothing else, then take a rest, just in case.”

“Yes, sir.”

Jepherson sat in the car, but Seibert did not follow. Instead, he went into another car. Staring at him, Raeleigh had a queer feeling.
