The Divorcee Who Shines

Chapter 25 Resentment

Chapter 25 Resentment

"Mr. Stuart..." Ranita wanted to argue, but Brendon was firm and his face clearly showed the word "no." It made Ranita furious!

As soon as she got back to her studio, she locked herself in her office and muttered furiously, "Brendon is not human! Brendon is not human!"

Could it be that Brendon was deliberately making things difficult for her?

There were plenty of translation experts in Kurima who had a big reputation and many people wanted to work with him. This made Ranita even more frustrated!

But no matter how angry she was, she couldn't change the fact that Brendon had given her a new project. After calming down, Ranita began working on organizing the latest project.

Stuart's Corp owned an auction house which was one of Asia's strongest due to its powerful influence.

This time, the art pieces being auctioned were of high caliber so they invited wealthy businessmen from abroad. It was a heavy task for Ranita who spent all afternoon sorting out information. Before leaving, Olivia Foley reminded her about a dinner appointment tonight where they would discuss business matters.

Ranita feared running out of time so she put on makeup early and changed into a long dress instead of wearing professional attire.

"Mr. Stuart, here are the organized materials for you to look at," said Ranita while secretly glancing at her wristwatch since she could only afford five minutes here or else risk being late.

"You're in a hurry?" asked Brendon keenly while flipping through some pages before his gaze fell upon the woman's dress; he slowly spoke up, "The dress looks unique."

"Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Stuart!" The woman raised an eyebrow with a smile; fatigue disappeared from between her brows leaving only bright eyes shining like stars - not only did this dress look unique but so did this person!

Ranita worked diligently without any flaws found by Brendon. After putting down the materials within ten seconds, Ranita bolted away like escaping from something.

Brendon gazed at the back of the woman who just disappeared, his cold eyebrows suddenly wrinkled showing displeasure. Caleb came in reporting work just then, Brendon thought for amoment and asked, "Do you know where Ranita is going tonight?"

"Huh?" Caleb took a while to react, "Are you looking for Miss Bowman? I can call..."

"No need!" said Brendon indifferently. Ranita's whereabouts had nothing to do with him. He shouldn't have been curious about it anyway since he wasn't involved.

When Brendon said there wasn't any need, Caleb didn't ask further. After reporting his work, Caleb reminded Brendon that he had booked a restaurant with Shannon tonight and that the driver had already gone to get her. Estimated time of arrival was in about ten minutes.

Brendon didn't want to care about Ranita, but he found himself distracted the whole way, thinking about her. Who was she dressed up so nicely for? Was it Dylan or someone else she kept hidden in her heart?

He claimed not to care, but he was always full of suspicion.

"Brendon!" Shannon couldn't help but call out when she saw him fiddling with his pen without writing anything. "Is something bothering you?"

"No, I'm fine," Brendon said as he read the termination letter sent by the legal department. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

"Work is important, Brendon, but you need to take breaks too," Shannon reminded him gently before asking tentatively, "Since you and Ranita broke up, is she still working here?"

"You and her..."

"Shannon..." Brendon began before cutting himself off. "Shannon... I appreciate her work skills. That's all."

Shannon blushed at Brendon's explanation while feeling excited at the same time.

She knew that in Brendon's heart, she was the most important person no matter what happened between him and Ranita over three years ago. After all, how could forced love ever be sweet? Shannon felt extremely pleased with herself!
