Semua Bab My billionaire ex-husband wants me back: Bab 21 - Bab 27

BRANDON~•~Gianna left before I could try to meet up with her. I knew she wasn't going to meet me willingly but I had planned to “accidentally” run into her. However, it seemed like she didn't come back permanently.I knew I had said I wanted to respect her decision by not finding her, but I couldn't help myself anymore, not when she had been so close to me just a few days ago.With enough money, it was easy to find out that she was living in San Diego and once I had found that about her, I wanted to know more. The man in the picture with her happened to be her partner.A few years ago, they had put their ideas and funds together to start up a marketing company, which rose so fast that it was surprising. She wasn't just my ex-wife who used to stay at home all day unless she had a conference to attend. She was now a boss. She co-owned a company with someone else. She was doing so well on her own and I was very proud of her.I was very happy they weren't in a romantic relationship but

BRANDON~•~“Mr. Wen said you canceled on him. Don't you know how important meeting him is?”I ran my hand through my hair. I knew the meeting was important but I was also very self-aware. I knew I wouldn't be able to focus on anything during the meeting and that would offend him even more. “I didn't cancel, father. I rescheduled.”“That's the same thing, you brat.”I didn't know how I was still considered a brat at thirty years old but I didn't dare point it out. My father was angry enough as it was. I didn't want to add to it. “What was so important that couldn't be held off for one hour?”I sucked on my bottom lip. I'd admit that I fucked up by rescheduling but that was the only thing I could think of when Ethan walked into my office. I knew it had something to do with Gianna so I quickly rescheduled the meeting I was supposed to be leaving for. If I hadn't, I would have spent the whole time thinking about something else. Gianna's new life.“I'll try my best to make it up to him,

BRANDON~•~Ethan and I shared a glance. He made a face and looked away from me but wasn’t kind enough to excuse us. I didn’t mind though. If Bailey wanted to embarrass herself, she most likely wouldn’t mind doing it in front of my friend.From what I knew, Gianna was keeping a low profile. I’d guessed she was trying to avoid the people she used to know. How did Bailey manage to find out that she was back? Truthfully, I didn’t care how she managed to get that information. I could only hope she didn’t cause trouble with it.“Is that why you’re creating a scene here?”Bailey gasped for reasons known best to her. Then she took a step back. “You’re not surprised.” She said more as a statement than a question. “You knew she cheated on you?”I gritted my teeth. While I had speculated that, it didn’t feel right hearing that come out of Bailey’s mouth, especially since she was one of the reasons Gianna and I got divorced. “What do you mean cheated on me?”She arched an eyebrow, a smug smile t

GIANNA~•~I let out a sigh as I checked the caller on my phone. I wasn’t surprised to see that it was my mother calling. Since the day I left Los Angeles, she had been calling every day to know when I would be back.I often used work as an excuse but that would only be able to hold her off for a short period of time, which was why I didn’t answer the call this time. Besides, I was in the process of creating a marketing plan and I had a meeting in the next five minutes. Answering her call would delay my meeting because she wouldn’t hang up until she got her message across.When she called for the second time, I put my phone on silent and kept it face down. I resumed working on my plan and when it was a minute to the meeting, I left my office and went into the conference room. By the time I got there, everyone was already present, including Jack.The chair at the head of the table was reserved for me as always. Jack and I had equal shares in the company but he liked to act like I was h
