Go After My Ex-wife

Chapter 1736 Takeaway



Chapter 1736 Takeaway

After Jepherson left, Raeleigh went back to work in the office as there was already a mountain of

documents piled up on her table, waiting for her to complete.

For a moment, she regretted starting Bloom Aksea Group.

If she had known that Jepherson would eventually buy her company, she wouldn't set up one in the first

place.

In the end, she had fallen into her own trap.

After last night, Raeleigh learned the lesson and no longer dared to ask Jared to drive her. Instead, she

took her own car to the office.

Mr. Zoman was equally worried, so he drove to Raeleigh's house Tristany in the morning and waited for

her.

On the other hand, Jared was nonchalant. He did not care whether Raeleigh wanted to sit in his car or

not.

On the way to the office, Zoman said to Raeleigh, "I always had the feeling that this Jared is not a

trustworthy person. Why don't we arrange someone else to protect you, Miss?"

"No, it's not necessary. If someone really wanted to hurt me, they would always find a way. It would be

useless. Mr. Zoman, thank you for your hard work. I'm worried that I'll drag you into trouble. If this

doesn't work out, we may hire another driver. One with experience in the special forces."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Zoman said hurriedly, "Miss, please don't think that I'm a coward. It's just that

Jared doesn't look like a reliable person. How should I explain it to Mr. and Mrs. Osteen if something

happens to you?"

"There's no need to explain. They'll understand and I'll be fine. You see, I am fine now, right?

Jared's not even our family. We have no reason to ask him to work for us.

Besides, Jared's different from Stuart. He is extremely faithful to Jepherson.

He would take a bullet for Jepherson without hesitating. But for others, it might not be the case.

The reason why Jepherson trusts him so much and believes that he would risk his life to protect me is

that he's absolutely loyal to him. I also believe that Jared is the smartest and bravest one among all.

There are only a few people on earth that Jepherson trusts. Jared is definitely one of them.

In fact, he had been willing to protect me for Jepherson in the past. However, I let him down."

Zoman could not understand what Raeleigh was saying at all. He only sensed that she was acting

differently that day. Thus, he said nothing more.

After they arrived at the company building, Raeleigh got out of the car and began to work. Fortunately,

she had a thoughtful assistant. Every time she needed to review a document, Lexiena would open it for

her, and she would only need to check the document and sign on it.

After a busy morning signing most of the important documents, she finished the rest of them in the

afternoon. Finally, she stood up and called Lexiena, "Let's go. I'll take you out for a meal. I know you've

always wanted to eat nice food, so I'll take you to a nice restaurant."

With that, Raeleigh stepped out of the door, Lexiena following behind her in excitement.

When the two of them left the office, Jared requested to tag along. He was going to grab some food

too.

Raeleigh had taken the two of them to a gourmet restaurant. Lexiena felt a little embarrassed when

Raeleigh said she wanted to treat her to a meal.

She thought that serving Raeleigh was her duty, so she did not expect Raeleigh to repay her with such

an expensive meal.

Raeleigh told Lexiena to choose whatever she liked. Initially, Lexiena refused, but later, she took over

the menu and began choosing her favourite dishes.

Meanwhile, Raeleigh fixed her gaze outside the window, staring at the snow as the people passed by

the restaurant.

She liked sitting and watching others during her free time. As a result, she had become too focused on

those people that she paid no attention to what was happening around her.

Staring at the outside world in a daze, Raeleigh failed to notice the person standing beside her. Lexiena

panicked, and she kicked her gently with her feet. Then, she came to her senses and looked at

Lexiena. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

"What's wrong?" she asked weakly.

Lexiena chuckled awkwardly and glanced at the seat beside Raeleigh. Raeleigh turned to look beside

her, then noticed someone standing by her side.

She jumped when she saw the man standing beside her, then asked, "What a coincidence!"

"Yes, it's a coincidence. I'm here for lunch. Do I have the honor to sit down and have lunch with you,

Raeleigh?"

Raeleigh shifted in her seat and took a look at him and said, "Where's your table?"

"Follow me."

The man walked to a table near Raeleigh's, then pulled out a chair like a gentleman and invited

Raeleigh to sit down.

Noticing that Raeleigh hadn't ordered her food yet, he gave the menu to her when she sat down.

However, Raeleigh refused and only ordered a bowl of mushroom soup instead.

"Don't you want to try their steak? Their steaks are heavenly."

"It's alright."

Raeleigh flashed him a smile.

The man ordered a steak and two glasses of orange juice, but Raleigh refused him again.

After a while, he asked her, "Are you working nearby?"

"Yes, I'm working for a car company."

"I never would have guessed that!"

"I started up a small company some time ago, but it has been acquired now. I'm working there."

"I see. But you did a good job. Otherwise, why would they continue to hire you?"

Raeleigh smiled but said nothing.

When Raeleigh's food arrived, she lowered her head and dug into her food quietly.

"What happened to your hand?" the man asked as he cut his steak.

"An injury. The doctor asked me not to move them often. I'm still recovering."

"I see."

The man stopped asking and looked up at the waiter, ordering, "I would like to order one more steak,

same as mine."

"All right."

After the waiter left, the man pushed Raeleigh's soup aside and moved to sit down beside her. Then,

he cut the steak into pieces and placed the fork and knife in front of Raeleigh.

"I haven't used these yet. They're clean. Please enjoy yourself."

He handed the fork to her as he spoke. However, she fixed her eyes on him and said, "It's alright."

"Eat, I can wait for the next one."

Unable to reject his kindness, Raeleigh accepted the fork. The man had already cut the steak into small

pieces, making it easy for her to pick them up with her fork. So, she took a piece of the steak and put it

in her mouth.

At that moment, the man's steak arrived. He politely returned to his original seat and sat down before

digging in.

The two remained silent throughout the meal. In the end, the man said, "I have something else to tend

to in the afternoon, but I hope to invite you to dinner next time. Will you treat me to lunch today?"

Raeleigh froze for a moment then nodded her head. "I should be the one thanking you for sending me

back. I'll pay for your meal this time."

"That's different. It was a trivial matter. I'll treat you to dinner next time."

With that, he stood up and walked out of the restaurant.

Raeleigh stared at his back as he left, then glanced at his unfinished steak. Later, she asked the waiter

to pack her own share of steak to be taken home.
