Chapter 63

Shelmaine continued, “So don’t let him in. And if he comes again, just tell him I’m not here”

“Boss.It was just a random question. Don’t scare me like that… Beatrix was startled.

“I’m not trying to scare you. He really is my ex–husband. It feels a little embarrassing to say it out loud.” Shelmaine laughed self–mockingly.

“I didn’t mean to offend you. I wasn’t trying to be rude, and I was just asking out of curiosity…”

“I understand, I don’t blame you for that. It doesn’t hurt to ask ”This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

Shelmine wasn’t too bothered, but she did get a little serious in repeating her reminder. “But I’m serious about not letting him in next time. It wasn’t a pleasant divorce.” “Is that true?” Beatrix’s eyes widened.

“Yes. Otherwise, why do you think I moved the office? It was to avoid him.”

Julien replied, “I thought you’d never want to speak to me again.”

“That’s exactly what I was thinking”

“Don’t act on it.”
