A Successful Career After Divorce

Ranita was attentive, and she suddenly realized that Dylan might have different feelings for her. But when did this start?

“What are you staring at? Don’t take it seriously. I’m just joking!” Dylan paused and returned the report to her, coolly saying with his hands in his pockets, “You divorced Brendon, and I just want to help you.”

Ranita pursed her lips and didn’t ask any further questions.

“Thank you! If there’s anything I need your help with, I’ll definitely ask.”

Dylan was already very satisfied to hear Ranita say these words. He laughed like a fool and said, “I’m always ready!”

“Let’s go! I’ll take you back to rest!” Dylan went to get the car while Ranita slowly turned towards the hospital lobby. Just as she turned a corner, she met Shannon head-on!

Ranita couldn’t help but frown. She didn’t want to see anyone from the Stuart family or Shannon!

“Ranita, why are you at the hospital? Are you feeling unwell?” Shannon’s voice was soft as if they were close friends.

“Miss Murphy, you should call me Miss Bowman from now on!” Ranita calmly put the examination report into her bag and looked at Shannon with calm eyes. “Brendon isn’t here so there’s no need for you to deliberately disgust me.”

Ranita really didn’t want anything to do with Shannon.

Shannon felt embarrassed and stared angrily at Ranita as if she wanted fire coming out of her eyes. “I don’t want trouble with you, Miss Bowman! But why do you always come out here bothering me?”

“Holly is right; since you’ve already divorced Brendon, then stop sticking around him like a leech!” After pausing for a moment, Shannon curled up her lips and continued in an elongated tone, “Do you know why I came here today?”

As she spoke those words softly, she lightly stroked her long hair on top of her stomach, “My appetite hasn’t been good lately; plus feeling nauseous all day long…calculating time when Brendon happened to be overseas visiting me… could it be that we have good news?”

Brendon had been together with Shannon… and they even had children?

Ranita lifted her eyelids indifferently, “Congratulations?”

She thought that Brendon had no feelings for her but would remain loyal in their marriage. She tightly clenched her fingers together as betrayal scraped away layer by layer of flesh off of heartstrings making them blurry beyond recognition inside herself.

“Thank you!” Shannon was ecstatic to see Ranita get hit. “Miss Bowman, you managed to use his grandfather’s one million to make a name for yourself, and now you’re taking a good chunk of Brendon’s alimony. You should know when to quit! I hope you cancel your contract with Stuart Corp so that I can live my life with Brendon without seeing your boring face all the time!”

Once Ranita finished the legal process with Brendon, she would be nothing but a small translator who could easily be chased out of Kurima by Amiya or Holly.

Shannon left with a smile.

Ring ring, her phone rang.

Ranita saw that it was Brendon calling and hesitated before answering. “Mr. Stuart, what can I do for you?”

She sounded polite yet distant, even carrying an indescribable coldness in her tone.

After several seconds of silence on his end, he spoke in a low and magnetic voice, “I heard you took sick leave? Which hospital are you at? Let me come visit.”

Hearing Brendon’s voice made her feel dazed as she replied coolly, “No need. I’ve already been discharged.”NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

“Discharged? Who took care of you these past few days? Dylan?” The man asked casually yet directly.

Ranita had followed Brendon for three years – working as his partner during the day and being his caring wife at night – so he knew almost everything about her schedule.

But now they needed some boundaries between them.

“I don’t need to report my personal matters to you, Mr. Stuart,” she said through pursed lips.

Personal matters?! Hearing those words made something inside him ignite! They weren’t even fully divorced yet and she was already eager to cut ties with him?!

“Ranita…” He didn’t finish speaking before Ranita hung up on him!
