Chapter 31

Chapter 31 A Failed Negotiation

The man in front of me stared at me with dissatisfaction and hatred.

Unperturbed, I stared him back indignantly.

“That’s enough! I don’t want to waste so much time on you. Hurry up and give me an answer.”

“Liliana, you—” As soon as Julius spoke, someone called his name.

A man dressed in a white suit with a name badge and black trousers came up to us.

“I wonder why you left the office just now. Anyway, I understand now that you’re on a date. Hello, Mrs. Keaton.”

The man looked familiar, for we met during the wedding. If I wasn’t mistaken, he was Julius’ colleague, and they were close to each other.

Julius looked displeased when his colleague addressed me as Mrs. Keaton. Right then, I realized he hadn’t told others that we were getting a divorce.

Nonetheless, it wasn’t a surprise to me. Since our marriage was short-lived, Julius would understandably want to save himself from embarrassment.

After forcing a smile at Julius, I turned to Julius’ colleague and said, “I remember you. Aren’t you Brayden?”

“Mrs. Keaton’s memory is impressive. I am Brayden.” He was delighted because I still remembered him.

I smiled and continued, “Brayden, please don’t call me Mrs. Keaton from now on. Julius and I…”

“Darling!” The next moment, Julius yelled aloud on purpose and put his arm on my shoulder.

Brayden and I were both startled upon that.

“Brayden, she was saying that you don’t have to be that polite. By the way, why are you here?” Julius interrupted and deliberately changed the subject of conversation.
