Go After My Ex-wife

Chapter 1750 The Inevitable

Raeleigh put down her phone and gazed out of the car window. It had begun snowing again; it wasn't a

wonder it snowed heavily at the given season. However, Raeleigh couldn't help feeling the snow had

come earlier that year, giving a sense of coldness before people had prepared themselves for it. It

wasn't a pleasant feeling.

"Pull over at the bakery in front; I want to buy some cake," Raeleigh said to Jared, who was driving.

After pulling over at the bakery, Raeleigh emerged from the car, went into the bakery, and chose a

lovely cake before following Jared to the company.

Reaching the company, Raeleigh instructed someone to send her all their staff's profiles.

A young man, Kenny Wilson, 23, from the secretary department, caught Raeleigh's attention.

And she had him over to talk in person.

After a conversation, Raeleigh confirmed she would take him as her assistant.

"Take over these things as soon as possible. I will arrange for a secretary; you're my assistant, who I'll

bring out with me. Do you understand?"

"Yes."

"Alright, you may leave."

With that, he left. Raeleigh felt like she needed to bum around that day, wanting to be alone, not doing

anything.

"Make sure that no one disturbs me. If there's anything, put it off first. Tell everybody that I'm busy

today."

The intercom system was connected to every head of the department. Raeleigh didn't install it for any

purpose back then. The technician who was installing it said there was such a function and asked if she

would like to try it out. Without deliberation, she said yes.

It was the first time Raeleigh made use of it. Thus, the whole of the company knew she was not

available for work that day.

In private, everyone was gossiping that Miss Anson was in a terrible mood, or she would not have used

that feature.

Jared had overheard some whispers when he went to get coffee. Following that, he returned and

knocked on her office door. Raeleigh happened to be asleep then and did not respond to his

consecutive knocks. With that, Jared pushed the door open and went in brutishly.

Kenny intended to stop him, but Jared didn't give him any time to do so, storming right in.

Raeleigh rested her head on her desk with the slice of cake in front of her. Holding a cup of coffee in

his hand, Jared stood by the door and stared at her pallid countenance. Behind her was an entire wall NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

of floor-to-ceiling windows. Her spacious office was rather stark, only Raeleigh resting inside.

Jared was somewhat lost in thought, looking at what was before him. Behind him, Kenny hurriedly

entered and wanted to say something when Raeleigh rose slowly. Her eyes then landed on Kenny. "It's

okay, Kenny. No need to stop Mr. Robertson from entering my office."

You wouldn't be able to even if you tried.

Jared stood by the door and inquired, "Are you not feeling well?"

Still bleary, Raeleigh looked out the window behind her to find it was already getting dark.

Stretching, she darted a glance at the cake. "I was just taking a nap. You're looking for me?"

"No. Enjoy your sleep."

Jared did not take his leave but went to sit down on her sofa, watching the TV as he drank his coffee.

Raeleigh was floored how he just made himself at home, with no intention of leaving after he came in.

Checking the time, Raeleigh said, "Let's go home. Time to clock out anyway."

With that, she left her desk and headed for the door, Jared following right behind. Right outside her

office, Raeleigh glanced at her new assistant.

"Kenny, have you had your dinner?"

"Not yet."

"Why don't I treat you then."

"Miss Anson, I can..."

"C'mon."

Raeleigh left no opportunity for him to refuse. Her attitude indicated that she had the final say as his

boss.

With that, Raeleigh headed for the elevator. When they were out of the building, she asked Kenny if he

had a car, to which he said he did. Raeleigh told him to follow them in his car before going into Jared's,

leaning on her seat, seemingly in a sullen mood.

After entering the restaurant, Raeleigh put the cake on the table and stared at it, not eating.

Kenny and Jared sat opposite her. After making their orders, Raeleigh took a few bites of dinner before

finishing the cake.

After dinner, Raeleigh told Kenny to head home before going back with Jared.

However, as they reached the manor, Raeleigh saw a car parked right outside the gates,

obscuring their path partially.

Jared stopped the car, wound down the window, poked his head out, and fixed his gaze on the car

outside.

The chauffeur exited the car and went to open the back door.

Thanks to the headlights, Raeleigh could make out that someone in grey trousers was emerging from

the car.

To her surprise, it was Crevor.

Crevor stood with his phone in his hand, staring in Raeleigh's direction. After a quick deliberation,

Raeleigh stepped out of the car.

Beaming, Crevor approached her. But before he could reach her, Jared had already stood between

them.

Jared's action got Crevor stumped momentarily while Jared looked at Raeleigh. "You go in."

Raeleigh shot a glance at Jared. That wasn't her plan, but she didn't object and headed into the manor

since he said so.

The servants had already been waiting at the door, opening it when they saw Raeleigh.

At the doorway, she turned to glance at Jared, who seemed like he was distracted with his head

lowered. Crevor turned to look at Raeleigh, only to find she was gone.

"Who on earth are you? Why are you blocking my way?" Crevor asked after Raeleigh left. Humored,

Jared retorted, "Don't you think it's ridiculous you don't even know who I am, given the influence of your

family?"

Crevor's brows furrowed slightly. His handsome face was like a ravishing piece of jade, but it was no

different from a crumbling rock on the ground to Jared.

"I'm a businessman. Although my family has some connections, I don't know people like you, nor do I

have time to waste on you."

"I'm sorry, but I guess you'll have to investigate it yourself if you want to know. I'm not going to tell you

anything."

"But heed my warning, never come again."

With that, Jared returned to his car, started the engine, and backed it up instead of driving in.

Stumped, Crevor shouted, "Drive the car away."

The chauffeur got into the car hurriedly to drive off, but it was too late. The inevitable still happened!
