Sweet Divorce

Chapter 24 Icebreaking

When Rita run out, Liam had driven away.

Looking at the long-empty street, Rita irritably took out her mobile phone and dialed the number which she was very familiar with. But, what returned to her was a machine-like and polite woman's voice, "Sorry, the number you dialed has been turned off."

"Turned off?"

'What ... ?!! '

Rita, griping her phone, gritted her teeth with anger that almost hurt her lip.

It was obvious that Liam was hiding from her on purpose.

"Mrs. Wilson, where should we go now?" The driver glanced at the pale-faced woman sitting in the back seat and asked in confusion.

"Company!"

Since the death of Joey, Liam's life had been repeating in two places, his home, and the company.

Besides, he would usually go to hold a regular meeting in the company on Monday.

All she needed to do was to go to the company's entrance and wait for him.

She had decided that she must meet the person who touched her mobile phone that year and prove she was innocent as soon as possible.

***

In the Wilson Group.

President's office.

Liam stared at the computer screen for a long time but couldn't focus on anything as he was fidgeting. His mind was full of images that Rita contacted with Oliver in the morning and her cold words.

The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, which made him frown again and again.

"Liam, is there anything wrong with the Plan for the Land of South City?" Seeing that he was frowning, Jacob curiously put his face in front of the computer.

However, Jacob did not see the document of his Plan for the Land of South City as expected but saw a screen wallpaper.

Eh ...

What ...?

Jacob licked his lips and looked at Liam, who was still in a daze. Jacob smiled as his beautiful eyes curved into the shape of a crescent. "Well, well, well ... Liam, what are you thinking about? What attracted you?"

"Rita." With a headache, Liam pinched his nose. Even he didn't know what was wrong with him that he was disturbed by that woman and couldn't even calm down.

In the past, when Liam mentioned Rita, his eyes were full of hatred. But today, Jacob saw annoyance and entanglement in Liam's eyes. Although there was still a trace of displeasure, the dislike or resistance had disappeared.

The change in Liam's eyes was subtle, but Jacob, who was experienced in love, saw something wrong.

"Liam, you ..." Jacob looked at the man in horror, for fear that Liam had fallen in love with Rita.

"What?" The man frowned.

"Nothing, nothing, I'm thinking too much." Looking at Liam's cold eyes at the moment, Jacob felt that he must have had an illusion. 'How could Liam fall in love with Rita?' "I know you won't have such bad taste in women!"

"Well?" Feeling that Jacob was a little strange, the man couldn't help but shout, "Tell me, what exactly do you want to say?"

"I'm just afraid that you had fallen in love with Rita!" Jacob didn't dare to hide anything, so he told the truth.

After Jacob said that, Liam became silent. Seeing this, Jacob smiled. He patted his chest firmly and said, "But I believe your taste is not bad, definitely. You won't fall in love with Rita, the damn fat indoorswoman!"

Liam didn't respond but just stared at the computer deeply.

Furthermore, Jacob's last sentence happened to be heard by Rita, who was finding Liam.

She stopped in her tracks, and her mouth twitched in anger.

'Damn fat indoorswoman!'

Rita lowered her head and glanced at herself, who weighed fifty kilograms and was 1.65 meters tall. With a bitter smile, she admitted that she was an indoorwoman, but she couldn't admit that she was fat!

Although Rita was a little dissatisfied with Jacob's evaluation, she was not in the mood to care about it.

She deliberately cleared her throat and made a little noise. Then, she pushed the door and walked in.

"Liam, is the Plan for the Land of South City qualified?" Jacob pointed at the empty screen and pretended to work seriously, fearing Rita found what he said.

"I didn't found anything wrong for the time being. Let me check it again."

Jacob was surprised by the man's response.

Was Liam helping him put on an act?

But on the second thought, his gratitude to Liam disappeared.

Liam was not the person who would condescend to act for him. What was the reason for Liam's cooperation?

Jacob couldn't figure it out, so his mind was full of curiosity.

Rita watched coldly at them, who pretended to work seriously in their work. She didn't say what she heard. Instead, she walked to the sofa opposite them and sat down.

She ate sunflower seeds leisurely, waiting for Liam to finish his work.

However ... , she waited until 12 o'clock.

Her stomach grumbled ...

She hadn't eaten much in the morning, so she was very hungry at this moment.

She raised her eyes and glanced at the two men who were busy in front of her. Then, she tucked herself into the sofa and looked down at the Model Magazine that she had flipped through three times.

"Liam, I want to build a shopping plaza here ..."

Jacob's endless plans were ringing in the man's ears. The man glanced at the woman who was touching her belly on the sofa and looked down at the watch on his wrist.

It was already 12 o'clock!

He closed the documents of Jacob's plan and threw them to Jacob. "I'm hungry. Let's eat something, and then we can continue."

"Oh, OK." In the past, Liam always ate meals after the discussions. But today, Liam, who was a workaholic, unexpectedly eat on time ... Jacob couldn't help but glance at the woman on the sofa.

At this time, Rita was so hungry that she collapsed on the sofa.

'No!'

'It was definitely not because of this woman!'

'It just so happened that Liam was hungry.'

Jacob stubbornly refused to convince himself. When he believed that Liam would never change his mind because of Rita, he felt a little better and left.

When the door of the room slowly closed, Rita, who had been weak a moment ago, suddenly stood up.

She walked quickly toward Liam with a calm smile. "Have you finished your work?"

The man didn't repliy and ignored her. Instead, he continued to sort out the documents on his desk.

Being treated as air again, Rita bit her lips unhappily. Although she was angry, she knew that she needed Liam's help. She tried her best to suppress the dissatisfaction and forced herself to smile. "Ahem ..."

"Mr. President, the dished you ordered."

The secretary suddenly walked inside and interrupted Rita.

The man, who had been silent just now, stopped what he was doing. "Well, put them on the table over there."

"OK." NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

The secretary nodded and put the dishes on the table according to the man's order.

Because of the secretary, Rita felt so embarrassed that she couldn't say something. When the secretary left, she wanted to say something to Liam, but the man walked past her and went straight to the sofa.

The man sat on the sofa, picked up the bowl and chopsticks gracefully, and was ready to eat.

Suddenly, his hand, which was about to pick up the food, was grabbed tightly by a pair of slender little hands. A warm feeling came from his hand to his heart.

"Liam, what should I do, to make you willing to let me see that woman!" Rita had run out of patience and glared at the man with a little dissatisfaction.

Hearing this, the man slowly raised his eyes. Looking at Rita's delicate little face, he said. "You are different from a few days ago."

"Wh-what?" Rita couldn't figure it out.

At the moment, Rita looked more vigorous, which was more like her real personality, and also more like her previous one.

"Will you agree to any of my conditions?" The man ignored the woman's question and became serious.

"Yes!" Rita answered decisively without even thinking about it.

"Oh." With a smile, Liam grabbed her little hand and pulled her into his arms.

Rita slammed into the man's sturdy chest. The smell of this man caused her earlobes to turn slightly red.

Before she could react, the man's sexy thin lips approached her.

All of a sudden, she became nervous.

'What does he want to do?!'
