No Second Chances, Ex-husband CHAPTER 096
LAUREN'S POVHuh. To think that the dress Tessa picked out would fit me this perfectly. I tilted my head slightly as I examined my reflection in the tall mirror, running my eyes over every curve and every fold of fabric. The material really hugged my waistline with just enough firmness to show its narrowness, while the slit running up my thigh revealed just the right amount of skin — tasteful but undeniably bold. I turned slightly to the side, pressing my palm against my hip, testing how the light caught the sheen of the material. It did exactly what a dress was supposed to do: it highlighted me. It carried my figure.“You like it, huh?”I blinked, realizing I had gotten lost in admiring myself. Tessa’s voice rang from the doorway. She leaned casually against the frame, arms folded, lips curved into a knowing smile. Clearly, she had been standing there for a while, watching me drink myself in like I was the finest piece of art on display.“Well…” I dragged the word out slowly, my eyes

LAUREN'S POV Tessa leaned in closer, her sharp gaze studying me with a seriousness that made me instinctively shift back in my chair. Her eyes narrowed, scanning my face as if searching for something beneath the surface, some hidden truth I wasn’t saying out loud. Then, before I could even form a sentence, her hand shot up and pressed lightly against my neck, testing my temperature like a worried mother. “Are you sure you’re okay?” she asked, her tone dripping with sarcasm, though her touch lingered as if she genuinely feared something was off. I rolled my eyes, brushing her hand away gently. “Was that why you were suddenly behaving like this?” I asked, my voice carrying a faint edge. “Yes,” she said quickly, pulling her hand back but not looking away from me. “Because if you’re perfectly alright, then they must have switched my friend with someone else. Why else would you ask about that bastard?” Her voice cracked, emotion rising beneath the words. Ah, of course. That’s right. T
No Second Chances, Ex-husband CHAPTER 094
LAUREN'S POV “How did it go?” Tessa asked, her voice calm but laced with curiosity, her eyes still fixed on the open book in her hands. She sat casually on the couch, legs tucked beneath her, the afternoon sunlight falling gently on her face as though the whole world existed in the quiet comfort of this living room. I dropped my bag on the nearby chair with a little more force than I intended, the exhaustion from the morning weighing on me like an extra layer of clothing I couldn’t peel off. “How else does it ever go, Tess? It’s always the same thing, thinking about themselves, never anyone else.” My voice came out sharper than I planned, but I didn’t care. I was still irritated. “Either way, I was already here in America, so what’s the point of turning it down? But I’ll tell you this…” I pulled my phone from my pocket. “The real person who ruined my mood this morning wasn’t the manager. It was that awfully rude lady at the office. Look what she did to my phone.” Tessa immediately
No Second Chances, Ex-husband CHAPTER 093
LAUREN'S POV Some girls truly don’t have any manners. Not only had she ruined my phone, but she had also practically ruined my morning before it even really started. I let out a long, frustrated sigh, wishing I could delete the whole incident from my mind, though I knew it would be nearly impossible. My fingers still tingled slightly from the sharp smack she had given me, and my thoughts kept circling back to her shoulder bump, deliberate or not. If only I had noticed her name tag, I might have avoided all of this entirely. I tried to push it aside as I straightened my shoulders and walked toward the office, reminding myself that my focus needed to be on the meeting ahead. When I entered the office, the manager was just taking her seat, placing her phone carefully on the table. She had clearly been on a call, judging by the slight pink in her cheeks and the faint lingering sound of her words as she hung up. As soon as she looked up at me, a smile appeared on her face. A small, alm

LAUREN'S POV “The manager said you can come into her office.” The receptionist said, her voice calm and neutral, though her eyes carried that flicker of recognition that told me she knew exactly what kind of reunion was about to take place. Great. That annoying, proud asshole of a manager was still in the headquarters. I had silently prayed — no, I had hoped with every fiber in me that she’d either been promoted out of here, transferred somewhere across the country, or better yet, fired for her terrible attitude. But clearly, the universe wasn’t on my side this morning. From the moment my manager back in Italy told me about my immediate transfer back to America, I had started suspecting it was her. It made too much sense. Headquarters didn’t even give me a week, not even a couple of days, to gather my things or prepare Aria. They demanded I return so quickly it felt personal, as if someone at the top had an issue with me. And who else could it be, if not her? Still, a part of me h
No Second Chances, Ex-husband CHAPTER 091
LAUREN'S POV Once again, I found myself slipping back into the old days of waking up early, long before the sun had fully risen. The alarm clock wasn’t even necessary anymore my body seemed to know, dragging me out of bed before dawn. I sat at the edge of the mattress for a moment, rubbing the sleep from my eyes and letting out a tired sigh. The air in the room was still cool, carrying that faint morning stillness that always felt both calming and heavy. Yes, today I had to report to headquarters early, and that was enough of a reason to wake up on time. But deep down, I knew that wasn’t the true reason I had stirred from bed at this hour. Something else had pushed me awake — responsibility, planning, and a touch of nervous energy. Last night, after we’d finished arranging everything perfectly in the house, I had wasted no time diving into something that had been at the top of my list since we landed: finding a new school for Aria. It weighed on me constantly. If I was going to be
