บททั้งหมดของ Countdown to My Divorce: บทที่ 131 - บทที่ 140

"I'm not going," Rachel said. She wasn't exactly a key player anyway. If she showed up, Samantha would probably act like someone had stolen her spotlight. She'd get all flustered and dramatic like usual, and turn the whole thing into a scene.Cecilia nodded. "Honestly, that's a good call. There'd be less drama. Samantha will definitely be there. Just the sight of her is exhausting. She hardly brings anything to the table. All she does is flirt with Mr. Lewis. I seriously can't even deal with her."At that, Cecilia shot a glare toward Samantha, who was sitting a few rows back."I barely got you out of trouble last time," Rachel reminded her. "Don't stir things up again."Cecilia stopped immediately.When Rachel and Cecilia walked into the conference room, they nearly ran into William. His gaze brushed over Rachel's face for a second before he looked away. His expression went cold.Rachel quickly looked elsewhere and took her seat.William glanced around the room. "You're all fami

William's brows, which had just relaxed, tightened all over again. He didn't quite get it."Do you really have to quit? Is Samantha that unbearable?"Rachel couldn't help but scoff on the inside. Even now, after everything, Samantha was still the only thing on his mind. It was as if no matter what she did, it all came down to her not being able to tolerate Samantha.If he actually stopped to think about it, he'd realize it had nothing to do with Samantha. It wasn't Samantha she cared about. It was his attitude.There was no point bringing it up now. It was far too late for that.Rachel's face was emotionless. "This has nothing to do with her.""Then what? Are you planning to join LS Enterprise after the team-building event?"For whatever reason, William just wouldn't let it go.Rachel's patience had run thin. "Mr. Lewis, now's not the time to interrogate me. What you should be considering is whether or not to sign my resignation letter. That's the real issue here."William r

Rachel endured the pain in her stomach and reflexively clenched her jaw.Everyone knew that the stomach was most affected by your emotions. People prone to anger or sadness were often the ones who suffered most in this regard.That was exactly how she felt now.Her fingers trembled slightly as they tapped on the keyboard.[I'm not feeling well. Let her handle it herself.]William replied:[She's on an IV drip right now. It's inconvenient. By the time she finishes cross-checking the data, it'll be way too late. You're a senior employee. This kind of thing shouldn't be a big deal for you.]Rachel smiled bitterly. She finally understood the phrase 'the squeaky wheel gets the grease'.She was the kind of person who didn't know how to cry. Even when she did, she'd pretend she was fine. Naturally, William assumed she was made of steel and that she could handle anything.She sent another message to try to make it clear.[I'm seriously not feeling well. My stomach really hurts.][Di

Why was Tyler calling at this hour?Rachel took a deep breath. She hesitated before finally sliding her finger across the screen to accept the call."What is it?""There's still one detail about tomorrow's team-building event that hasn't been finalized. Come here for a bit," Tyler said.Rachel frowned. She had been the one who drafted the entire proposal for Oasis, so it wasn't unreasonable for Tyler to call her. But there was a problem."I'm in the hospital right now.""Oh? What a coincidence. So am I."He still sounded as nonchalant and flippant as ever.Rachel was stunned. Were people scheduling joint hospital visits these days?She didn't bother to ask questions. Work came first."I'm at City Hospital, Ward 204.""The room next to William's?" Tyler sounded surprised.Rachel felt a little awkward. "Yeah."Tyler couldn't help but laugh."You two are a real piece of work. William's in the next room fawning over Samantha, while his legally wedded wife's just left to fend

The nurse immediately frowned upon hearing that the IV needle had to be adjusted. She was clearly irritated."Didn't I tell you when I first inserted the needle not to move around? Why don't any of you listen?"Rachel didn't get angry at first. She understood it wasn't easy for medical staff these days, juggling shifts and overtime. Being in a bad mood was understandable.She apologized politely. "I'm really sorry. I moved a little without noticing. Could you please adjust it for me?"The nurse walked over and grabbed Rachel's hand a little too forcefully, causing Rachel to cry out in pain."Oww!"The nurse frowned even more. She raised her voice."Now it hurts, huh? Why weren't you concerned when you were moving around earlier? Do you have any idea how busy we are today? We don't have the time to reinsert IV drips for every careless patient!"Rachel bit her lip and said nothing, figuring it was better to let things go.The nurse continued muttering as she prepared a new needl
