Semua Bab The CEO's Fabulous Ex-Wife: Bab 221 - Bab 230

As they arrived at the entrance of the clothing store, they were swarmed by media representatives, and Landon and his men had to ensure their safety from the paparazzi.Michelle, despite being a star, had never faced this kind of harassment except during premieres, and she wondered about the sudden interest in her otherwise mundane life.“That was close,” she sighed with relief once they were inside the safety of her clothing store.Ezrah was eager to start their two-week deal and didn't want to leave her side, fearing she might change her mind.“They are your fans. I thought you would want to talk to them,” he teased, realizing he hadn't heard much about her in gossip news.The shop manager came out to greet her, and as she responded to Ezrah’s teasing, she felt slightly nervous about returning to the same place where all her pains had originated.“I’m usually not harassed like this. Something must have triggered it.”“Welcome, ma’am,” the shop manager said, but Coco’s voice caught t

Seeing that the conversation had taken a different turn, Butler Rudolph beckoned to the maids to leave as he followed suit.“Zora, did it not occur to you that I was afraid of talking to you because I was afraid of falling in love with you? Did you think it was because I hated you?”Michelle was having a roller coaster of emotions from Ezrah’s softness towards her.Being used to his indifference, it felt rather strange that he was treating her like this. “Let’s forget about it,” she uncovered the dishes as she spoke.They were all things she liked. Different kinds of salads, soups, and oh, prawns. She loved prawns but hated to peel them.When Ezrah saw her eyes focused on the prawns, he smiled and said to her.“I will peel them for you.” He washed his hands and after cleaning them with a clean napkin, he began to peel the prawns for her.Michelle was gawking as if Ezrah had just fallen from the sky. This clean freak would never touch anything with his fingers but was painstakingly pee

“Ezrah,” Madison was thrilled when Ezrah entered the office. It was as if a heavy weight had been lifted off her shoulders.Since he was there, a lot of pending matters would be resolved by him, and some departmental heads would no longer be difficult.Ezrah was equally very happy to see her and was not surprised to see Sebastian too.If not for having a trustworthy woman like Madison by his side, he would not have been able to stay comfortably away.“Madi, thanks for everything,” he said honestly before saying to Sebastian. “Seb, I owe you one.”Sebastian shook his head, knowing that Ezrah would not like his request.“No, Ezrah. You owe me a lot. Your company is draining.”Madison chuckled. Everyone around was very much afraid of Ezrah, but not her.Still, they dared not show it for fear of being punished by Ezrah, but that did not mean they wouldn’t give her attitude.“Not for him. They won’t try all that when he’s here,” Madison said on Ezrah’s behalf.With Ezrah being in a good moo

“I wouldn’t have mentioned it if I didn’t want to know,” Michelle responded, rather cautiously.Ezrah took his time and explained it to her.“I always saw your work and never had a problem with it. That was the reason I always had you submit it to Madison.”“But I wanted more,” Michelle countered, not hiding it anymore. “I wanted you to flaunt me around, to get intimate with you in the office like you always did at home, and yet, you always avoided me.”Her voice turned sad it in the end. It was painful when she saw pictures of him with Piper back then when he kept her secret.Even after announcing their marriage, he never took her out publicly. It was as if he was ashamed of her.“That was my biggest mistake because I was afraid to accept that I was in love with you and hurt the person who turned out to be the wrong one. My priorities were set in stone. I’m really sorry,” Ezrah said honestly.However, Michelle looked disturbed, so he wiped his hand with a paper towel and went around h

“It wasn’t easy to get it, so please don’t reject it,” Ezrah said in a pleading tone, but Michelle was lost for words.“I know the gulf pearl parure bracelet was sold for 31 million. How much did you buy it for? And how did you get the necklace, which was priced separately?”The pair of jewelry was so expensive that interested buyers were allowed to purchase them separately.Michelle could afford it but had a limit to her expenditures, so how could she allow Ezrah to blow so much money?It was true what they said that women were the best financial managers.For Ezrah to get these items from the original buyer, he must have paid double or even triple the price.That bracelet was the most expensive in the world, containing 24 diamonds, 12 brilliant cut, and 12 marquise cut.“Ezrah, this is too expensive.”It was as if Ezrah had not heard her or had decided to ignore her intentionally.“If you don’t mind, can I replace the earring that came with the bracelet?”He removed the matching earr
