All Chapters of After Divorce, My Secretary Wife Becomes Rival Boss : Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

Charlotte's POV I didn't stop half-running through the hallway until I was out by the pool. I needed some fresh air, I needed to breathe.The questions were just too much and I couldn't answer either.I slumped into one of the pool chairs by the pool and inhaled some chill night air. I was there for some seconds before I noticed a male figure slumped into a chair beside me.He was staring into the pool but shifted his gaze to me just the same time I did.Our eyes held.Behold, it was the man I’d dreaded to see… the one that made all these wild, confusing thoughts spring up in my head. The one who makes me fall but always isn't there to catch my fall. It was Drake Watson. “Couldn't sleep either?” He muttered through his teeth but I could see a small smile creep up on his face. Like he was amused about it.“It didn't look like you couldn't sleep. You almost ran into me.” He said tilting his head as if he would see who was chasing me out earlier.I didn't reply him. We had nothing to t

Drake's POV "Mia? What the fuck are you doing here? You followed me out here?" I asked in frustration. What part of 'don't interfere with my life' did she not understand?Mia kept her gaze on Charlotte while she continued to close in on us.With a grim smile on her face, she spoke."What is it, darling? We always support each other, and I understand that Charlotte is a good friend of ours, so we should do something for her, right?" That was in no way friendly. It didn't get to her heart."You're not supposed to be here." I continued, speaking firmly but she didn't seem to care.All her attention was on Charlotte, who scoffed at the drama unfolding. "You know what, you two? Leave my company. I'm not letting my daughter meet psychos." She replied and made to leave, but I reached out for her hand.I guess she hated it because she shot me a glare and pulled her hand away from my grip like I was contaminated or smelly.She shifted glances between Mia and me. "You two should get out of

Drake's POV I wasn't surprised to see her there. I hadn't been picking up any of her calls, nor have I been replying to her texts.You can imagine that someone in my condition would think about talking to the same person who left him and turned up again when she felt like.She turned around when my car headlights flashed towards her. I slowed down and wound down."Drake! I've been calling and texting..." She didn't finish, and I didn't let her finish, even though she looked relieved.I wasn't a baby."Why are you here?" I asked in response.She paused and looked closely at me."I heard what happened. How are you doing?" She asked."I'm doing just fine, thank you. If you came to tell me that, you can leave now. Message passed." I replied and was about to step on the accelerator when she stretched out both hands in a 'pause' position. I stopped again and shot her a look of disdain."You don't look fine to me. You've developed eye bags, and your hair looks like it hasn't seen water in

Charlotte's POV "Did you hear what is going on in Drake's company?" Sawyer asked, walking into my office with two hot cups of coffee.I nodded."Damn he's always got issues with his system. A smart CEO would have that fixed." He continued.I was trying to get work done at the office, and I wasn't in the mood for some discussion. "Hmm, what if he did, but they managed to breach the system?" I asked, gaze fixated on the documents I was working on."Well he didn't get the best hands. He should know better than to get quack system experts to check his system. They could even be the culprits who breached the system." He stated.I hummed again."Here, your coffee. Hot, just as you like it." He handed a cup to me and I smiled with gratitude, took it from him and took a sip from the cup."What if he got the best hands but it still flopped?" I asked.Sawyer paused and stared at me with confusion."What are you saying?" "All I'm saying is... he might not be at fault here. I've worked with hi

Charlotte's POV After Drake's visit. I knew that everything I had fought to cover up was going to be out in the open if I didn't play by his rules, but at the same time, I would rather the world burn than expose my daughter to the gnawing hands of society.I was ready for war with the court for child custody if he wanted to play the game. I was bent on proving to him and his fiancée this time around that I wasn't the Charlotte they knew. I had changed, and I would show them how.So after they left my office, I could no longer work. I went to pick Ivy from school to spend some time with her, but I arrived way early and had to wait outside in my car.Every second that passed, I cursed Drake and Mia in my mind. Until Ivy closed from school. She was surprised to see me there-- I was never on time most of the time. And according to her, I'd spoiled the pretend tea party her and her friends had planned to hold after school that day while waiting for their parents.I promised to make it up
