After I Left the Billionaire Chapter 133 The Next Generation
(Nash)Hannah calls while I’m on my way to Dad’s lawyers.“The board wants confirmation you’re continuing treatment.”“They have it.”“They want the updated confirmation. Your therapist’s office is sending it through.”Apparently, keeping my position means spending the rest of my life proving I deserve it.“Fine. Anything else?”“Your media statement is ready. We can release it after the reading.”“Good.”She made Saturday afternoon very pleasant. She understands that work is stressful and doesn’t demand a relationship discussion every time we’re alone.If only everyone could be that straightforward.***Mom is already in Harrington’s office.For a moment, I forget about the company. Mom looks shaken. It can’t be easy for her, but we’re here to get closure.I’m here to get what I deserve. No matter what Dad thought of me, I am his heir, the law is the law.Then Harrington opens the folder. “We’ll go through the provisions, and I’ll answer what I can afterward.”“Okay,” I say.Mom look
After I Left the Billionaire Chapter 132 An Answer For Kate
(Ivy)By eight on Monday morning, I’ve dealt with two staffing gaps, a delayed equipment delivery, and a consultant who thinks his operating list should take priority over everyone else’s.“It goes in clinical order,” I tell him. “Speak to the theatre coordinator. If there’s a medical reason to change it, she’ll bring it to me.”He doesn’t look pleased.He leaves anyway because he knows I won’t be swayed. Changes are for emergencies only.Mary puts a revised schedule beside my breakfast bagel.“Your nine o’clock is waiting. Finance needs approval on the replacement monitors, and nursing wants you at the bed-capacity meeting.”“Give me five minutes.” I stifle a yawn.I barely slept.Every time I drifted off, I dreamed about trying to tell Nash while Eleanor kept interrupting.Then one that had him proposing to me again as soon as he found out.That one felt horribly realistic.But I’m going to see him after the will reading, regardless. I’ve already let Russ know and he has the settlem
After I Left the Billionaire Chapter 131 Something To Hope For
(Ivy)Kate looks at me. “Ivy how are you? Your pregnancy?” She whispers.“Oh, we don’t have to talk about that.” I don’t want her to be triggered by talking about babies.“No, I want to. Are you going okay?”I nod. “I am. I told Sarah and I had a scan Friday.”“Do you have pictures? Can I see?”I reach into my bag and pass one over.“He’s ten weeks,” I tell her. “Measuring beautifully. Moving about like he’s got somewhere to be.”Kate studies the picture. “He’s grown.”“I know.”“I can still enjoy your happiness, Ivy. Even if I’m not sure about my babies…”“Thank you, Kate. But honestly, let’s just focus on getting you some information. I hope the Secretary of State has something soon.”“I know. Me too. You’ll like him.”“Who?”“Adrian. He’s so hot but he really cares, you know? He taught me so much about being a diplomat. He’s single too.”“And I’m pregnant with another man’s child. Are you really trying to matchmake me right now?”She smiles. “Well, you can still appreciate a sexy m
After I Left the Billionaire Chapter 130 Sunday Lunch
(Isaac)My grandmother I affectionately call Nagyi, Hungarian for Granny, watches me tear a piece of bread and sprinkle it with salt.“You’ve been smiling at that for a full minute, Isaac,” she observes.“Have I?”“Unless you’ve discovered something extraordinary about bread and salt, tell me what’s going on with you.”Mother looks up from her soup. “I can tell you. Dr. Ivy Calloway.”I put the bread down.Nagyi settles back in her chair. “Ah. Now we have a name.”“He’s walking away from the family empire for her,” Mother says.“No. I’m walking away in protest of how you want to do business. We aren’t thugs, Mother.”She huffs and keeps eating.Sunday lunch has always been compulsory in this family. Family is compulsory.We can disagree about acquisitions, resignations, or who should control several billion dollars.We still arrive on time and eat together.The soup is the same one Nagyi insisted the cook learn from her handwritten recipe. The bread is fresh.The chicken waiting on th
After I Left the Billionaire Chapter 129 Put That In Your Statement
(Ivy)Eleanor asked me to meet her for coffee at the club.Given everything we’ve been through lately, I agreed.But honestly, all I want to do on this Friday afternoon is get home.Kate is sleeping and Joan and Robert are taking turns with her and the twins.I’m going to give them some relief over the weekend.I see Eleanor smiling and waving from a corner table and I head over and sit.I’m regret my decision when Nash appears and pulls out the chair beside her.Piper follows him to the table.“Eleanor! Are you ambushing me now?” I ask. I go to get up.“Just hear him out,” Eleanor says as she raises her hands. “Please, Ivy. He isn’t staying long.”I sit again. If they don’t get me here they’ll just find me elsewhere, so I may as well get it over with. “About what?”Nash sits opposite me. “I’m issuing a media statement pending the will reading.”“Congratulations,” I say.He ignores my sarcasm. “It’s about taking responsibility. Getting treatment. Becoming a better husband and father b
After I Left the Billionaire Chapter 128 Someone Who Can Help
(Ivy)“We’re good friends. We worked together a lot.” She looks at me. “He helped get me home. But I was too scared to tell him what happened, in case…”“Whatever has happened to Elias, it is not your doing, okay? They were going to do whatever it was all along. You can’t reason with these people. But we owe Elias at least to ask the question, I think,” I say.Kate nods. “I know you’re right. It’s just so hard.”“Would you like me to contact Adrian Cole? Will he speak to me, do you think?”Kate holds my gaze.“Yes. Tell him I need his help. He’ll come.”“Then I will do exactly that. Right now. Let’s call this talk done and I’ll let you know how it goes.”“Thank you. Thank all of you. I’m lucky to have you.”“You just get well. I’m going to head to my office and make some calls.”Mary looks up when I enter my office.“I need to contact the Secretary of State.”Her fingers stop over the keyboard. “Alright. Do we have a number?”I love this woman.Anyone else might have asked whether I’d
