Chapter 5

Penulis: Celebration Zero
"What is the meaning of this?" Sandra sat down opposite me. Her brows were furrowed together in confusion. "You should've had your fun with those tantrums by now. Any more of it will just be pointless. You're a man, aren't you? Why can't you be more considerate?"

What was more considerate than letting your wife sleep with another man?

How much more generous did Sandra expect me to be?

If Sandra didn't feel some sense of guilt toward me right now, then she might not have been so patient as to stick around up until now. Heck, the only person she'd ever wait for, no matter how long it took, was William.

"Don't worry. I'm not interested in making this divorce a contentious one." I nudged the agreement toward her.

Sandra suspiciously flipped it open. I then watched as her expression grew more solemn.

I wasn't sure what point there was in pretending. Anyone who read the divorce agreement would see that she wasn't the losing party in this situation whatsoever.

Yet Sandra only furiously

    Neither Sandra nor I was like that."You don't need to come visit me every day either," I said. "I use skincare products now, and you won't be able to handle it because of your allergies."But Sandra was still unexpectedly caring toward me while I was handling William's case. Throughout our five years of marriage, this was the kindest she had ever been to me.I had no clue whether she was doing this for my sake or for William's.Olivia took leave from work on the day Howles Inc.'s trial began. She said she wanted to watch her newly-recruited lawyer on the playing field, and that she would fire me if my performance was unsatisfactory.I didn't bother retorting her harsh words. Because I knew her soft heart.The defense procedure went smoothly. There was nothing much I could say in William's defense, as his deeds in the company had been too terrible. In the end, the judge still gave them a hefty fine.William grabbed onto me and lashed out in anger when we left the courtroom."Yo

    "Why not?" I cut Sandra's attempt at gaining an upper hand off. "Once you agree to the divorce, I'll do my best to help William out in return. That's a pretty good deal, isn't it?"Sandra opened her mouth to speak, but she couldn't think of anything to say. In the end, she could only furrow her brows and say, "Don't get your feelings involved in this.""You know that's not what's happening here."Sandra knew I cared most about my professional reputation as a lawyer. A lawyer's duty was to uphold justice. If it weren't for the legal aid, I would never have taken on a losing case like this one. Sandra knew very well that William's company was facing a major crisis. She might still have a chance to survive after the case was over. But the financial issues in William's company really were too substantial. Furthermore, since William had no intention of pleading guilty, we were bound to lose this case.So if we actually took his case, who would still believe in the justice we swore t

    "Are you trying to make me get a stroke, Lincoln? Why'd you bring Olivia Hilton here?" Sandra demanded.Olivia took a step forward to stand between Sandra and me. "Please watch your tone with my employee, Ms. Kimmel. What right do you have to be berating him right now?"Sandra looked at me, then at Olivia. She sneered and pointed at Olivia before turning her finger to me. "You went to Olivia right after resigning from my firm? You're such an idiot. Do you enjoy being degraded that much?""Hey now." Olivia shifted Sandra's finger, so she was pointing at herself. "Watch it. Lincoln here only ever got degraded when he was working for you."Sandra was already upset with how quiet I was being."How is this any of your business?" she hissed at Olivia.Olivia calmly tucked her hair behind her ear and cleared her throat. "Since my firm's newest lawyer is taking on his first case on his own, I thought to come along with him out of care and consideration for his well-being. Is that so wron

    At least Olivia wasn't berating me.I wanted to remind her that speaking too harshly could bring about unnecessary trouble. I opened my mouth to speak, but I hesitated and gave up in the end.After all, Olivia had a point."Yes. We're getting divorced," I said.Olivia froze slightly, taken aback by how straightforward I was.But she quickly came to her senses and smiled. "In all the years I've known you, this is the first time I've seen you make such an intelligent decision."To reward me for making such a decision, Olivia put me through an excruciatingly challenging training program for work. I had to wake up at the crack of dawn and go to work early each day. I only went home to sleep after the firm had closed for the day.But I had to admit that Olivia's highly difficult training was quite effective. I learned many things that I hadn't learned at Kimmel & Partners, even though I'd worked there for so many years.My hectic work schedule soon made Sandra fade from my thoughts.

    That would be so embarrassing.I had no choice but to keep diligently applying for jobs in order to live a better life.But I'd spent too long working at Kimmel & Partners. Many of the bigger firms rejected me after seeing that I didn't have a lot of litigation experience in court. Additionally, Sandra's ban was still in effect.All the firms were worried that the reason I'd been fired was that I'd stabbed Kimmel & Partners in the back.This went on for a week. I then finally received a message about an interview.Honestly, I hadn't held any hopes prior to applying to this law firm. The reason was that the firm's founder knew about my and Sandra's relationship.Her and Sandra's enmity began in high school. Theirs was a tale of competing for the spot of prettiest girl in school, where the firm's founder happened to lose.…Olivia Hilton used to be in the same class as Sandra in high school. Even though they majored in different subjects in university, they still kept at each oth

    "Ms. Kimmel is especially terrifying today. Are you alright? Do you need me to rescue you later?" the intern asked.I shook my head, grateful for the intern's kindness.I then went to Sandra's office with her.She slammed the door shut with a loud bang. It made me flinch—the glass door had just been installed. It better not break from how hard Sandra had shut it."What the hell are you going on about, huh?" Sandra hissed.My eyes roamed across the office.William was spritzing his cologne throughout the office as he'd just finished smoking a cigarette.Yet Sandra remained quiet about his actions.She had taken two of her allergy pills. The packaging was sitting quietly in the nearby trash bin.There was some redness on Sandra's neck too. It seemed like her allergic reaction hadn't fully healed yet.She was still suffering from her allergies because of William? Now, of all times? Of course, Sandra would be furious."I'm not going on about anything, Ms. Kimmel. I've just thoug
