Gemma.

Angela.

Of course.

For a moment, neither of us moved. She looked stunning in an elegant black gown, her hand wrapped around Richard’s arm as though she was afraid someone might steal him. The irony almost made me laugh.

A few months ago, seeing them together would have ruined my entire evening. Tonight, I simply didn’t care.

“Are you okay?” Julian asked quietly, noticing the change in my expression.

Before I could answer, Richard finally looked in my direction. The shock on his face was

  • My Ex-Husband’s Billionaire Boss Wants Me.   The Opening Day

    GemmaI quickly prepped myself. I wore a red gown that reached above my knees and black stilettos. I applied a little bit of makeup since I was not really into makeup. Then I curled my hair into bouncy curls and was ready to go.By the time I arrived at the restaurant that morning, everything was ready for the opening. The staff had arrived early. Gigi was at the entrance checking the reservations.Gigi walked over with her phone in her hand.“We have most of the tables booked already, and there are still people calling to ask if we have space.”I smiled. “That’s good.”“You’re not nervous?”“I am, but I’m trying not to think about it.”She laughed. “You’ve been checking the same table three times.”“Because I want everything to be perfect.”“You did so well, Gemma. Relax.” She rubbed my arm gently.“Really, thank you.”The first customers started arriving. I welcomed them at the entrance, thanked them for coming, and watched the servers lead them to their tables. Some people stopped

  • My Ex-Husband’s Billionaire Boss Wants Me.   Almost Ready

    GemmaGigi was already dressed for work when I walked into the kitchen. She sat at the counter eating breakfast while working on her laptop as usual.I picked up my bag from the chair.“You’re leaving already?” she asked.“Yes, I want to get to the restaurant early. I still have a few things to check.”She took another bite of her breakfast. “You know you don’t have to supervise every little thing yourself.”“I know.”“And about the other day, Gemma…”Not again, I knew where she was heading, and I wasn’t in the mood for that discussion. “Gigi. It’s okay, please, I just need to stay focused.”She smiled. “Of course.”The restaurant was almost ready. After so much time going through everything with the workers, I had a much clearer idea of what still needed to be done. Most of the major work was already finished, and the place looked nothing like the restaurant I had left behind two years ago.“If everything goes well today, I should be able to open it in two days,” I told Gigi.She sto

  • My Ex-Husband’s Billionaire Boss Wants Me.   The One Thing I Didn’t Expect

    JulianFor months, the organizers of the business and entrepreneurship conference had been sending countless emails asking me to attend and share my business experience with aspiring entrepreneurs.After much advice from my team for me to be present at the conference they said it would be good for Ferguson Holdings Company and would give more visibility and publicity. I had agreed to go on one condition, that under no circumstances would I speak there. I hated all this gathering so the team agreed that I should just show myself and everything else would be handled.Seeing her there was a total shock to me.I left the conference and went back to my office, hoping I could bury myself in work, but I couldn’t concentrate. Hours passed, and my thoughts remained on Gemma. I eventually asked my secretary to get her details. She ended the call the instant she heard my voice. I took off my glasses and massaged the bridge of my nose, feeling drained. I closed my eyes briefly before putting my p

  • My Ex-Husband’s Billionaire Boss Wants Me.    When Seeing Him Changed Nothing

    Gemma“I really hope Gigi knows what she’s doing.”I looked around the crowded hall as I walked inside, holding my ticket in one hand and my handbag in the other. There were people everywhere, some looking for their seats while others stood around talking.Gigi was the one who bought the ticket for me. She found the conference online and insisted it would be useful before I opened the restaurant. I wasn’t particularly interested at first, but she kept telling me I had spent enough time learning how to cook and now needed to understand more about the business side of things.I found my seat and settled in, placing my handbag beside me before taking out my notebook.There were five people seated on the stage. They were all successful business owners and executives invited to share their experience with the audience.Then I saw him.Julian.He was sitting at the far end, dressed in a suit with his sleeves pushed back slightly. He was one of the people speaking, and from the way he sat th

  • My Ex-Husband’s Billionaire Boss Wants Me.    Nothing Stays the Same

    Gemma“So we need to work on the lights and fix the broken tap in the kitchen.”“Yes, ma’am.”I stood near the entrance with my notebook in my hand while the worker went over the list of things that still needed to be done before the restaurant could open. Most of the work had already been completed, but we still had a few things to fix.The furniture and equipment were covered with transparent nylon to protect them from dust while the workers finished up. The smell of cleaning products still lingered in the air, and a few tools were sitting on the side of the room where some of the final work had been done.“Show me everything that still needs attention,” I said.“Yes, ma’am.”She led me through the restaurant while Gigi stayed behind in the main dining area to check the tables and chairs. I followed the worker into the kitchen first, where she pointed out the broken tap.“This one needs to be replaced,” she explained.I bent down to take a closer look before writing it in my noteboo

  • My Ex-Husband’s Billionaire Boss Wants Me.   Back to What I Built.

    GemmaThe next morning, I woke up earlier than I expected. I reached for my phone on the bedside table, checked the time, and decided there was no point in going back to sleep.By the time I walked into the living room, Gigi was already there with a cup of coffee in her hands. Her laptop was open on the coffee table, surrounded by several documents.Her cook, a middle-aged woman Gigi had hired, was preparing breakfast in the kitchen. Gigi barely had time to cook anymore, so the woman came every morning to prepare breakfast and returned later in the evening to make dinner before Gigi got home.Gigi glanced up from her laptop.“You’re awake.”“I couldn’t sleep anymore.” I sat on the sofa opposite her.She continued working, her fingers moving quickly across the keyboard. She still looked like the same Gigi I knew, but the woman sitting in front of me seemed more settled than the one I had left behind.She finished what she was doing, pressed one last key, and closed the laptop.“Come he
