“Larry, I don’t dare to face Nancy because of this. I know that I’m in the wrong here.” The man’s voice shook uncontrollably.
Caspian had always loved Nancy, and no other women even came close. He wasn’t sure if he could forgive himself for what had happened, let alone thinking about if Nancy would ever forgive him.
“What about that woman? Where is she?” Larry asked in a low voice.
He never thought Caspian would ever betray Nancy.
“She’s still at the hotel… She’s asking me to be responsible for her because I’ve taken her virginity…” Caspian kept his head low.
Larry was rendered speechless right then.
He actually did not know much about what was going on between Nancy and Caspian. Hence, he had always thought that Caspian was in the wrong, while Nancy was adamant about getting a divorce. It seemed like the relationship had really gone to the point of no return.
“What do you plan to do next?” Larry regarded Caspian with a serious look.
Caspian was a responsible man, and he would never shirk his duty. Hence, Larry knew that this man would not just abandon the woman in the hotel.
“Larry… I… To be honest, I don’t know what to do. I love Nancy, and I don’t want to hurt her. But I can’t just leave the woman in the hotel…” Caspian sighed as he shook his head, exasperated about his next move.
What on earth is happening right now?
While Nancy was trying to divorce Caspian, he just went ahead and had sex with another woman in a hotel?
It’s just one thing after another, isn’t it?
“What do you plan to do with Nancy, though?” Larry reminded Caspian.
“I don’t know… I don’t know… I can’t think straight right now…” Caspian clasped his head in exasperation.
It was Larry’s first time seeing him so frustrated.
However, what they did not know was that everything that happened to Caspian was within another man’s control.
“Mr. Synder.” Gabriella appeared in Jory’s office all of a sudden.
“Why are you here? Don’t come here unless you’ve got something important.” Jory spared her no niceties.
Just looking at the woman was enough to spoil his day.
“Mr. Synder, what’s with that attitude? We’re partners right now. How could you treat your partner like that?” Gabriella mocked.
Jory snickered. Partner? I’ve never seen this woman move a finger for me, and yet she dares to call herself my partner.
All the talk about letting her handle the thing with Caspian, and yet, nothing fruitful came of it.
“I’m here to break a really good news to you, Mr. Synder.” Gabriella smiled, deliberately beating around the bush.
What good news?
Jory looked at the woman before him with a puzzled look on his face.
What good news can she possibly bring?
“Why? Are you that busy that you don’t even have the time to enjoy good news, Mr. Synder? Fine then, I’ll come again some other day.” Gabriella turned around and was about to walk out of the office.
Looking at the woman before him, Jory clenched his fist tight.
She’s acting all high and mighty just because I was nice to her for one moment. What’s next, huh? Is she going to sh*t all over my head?
“Stand right there. Get straight to the point, and don’t waste my time,” Jory barked.
He had always loathed others beating around the bush.
Gabriella was stunned by the sudden domineering aura.
“Mr. Synder, why are you so mad? I’m just joking with you. How could you take it so seriously? Chill, Mr. Synder. Here, have a cup of tea…” Gabriella tried to appease the man.
She still needed to depend on the man for money to spend, so she couldn’t afford to offend him.
Jory took his seat and gauged the woman before him.
“Gabriella, you’d better get this straight. We’re only partners. You should know better what you can or cannot do or talk about. I’m not pinning all my hopes on you for this Caspian thing.” Jory threw a derisive look at Gabriella.
