All Chapters of THE EX-WIFE HE COULDN’T DESTROY : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

As Elysia worked, she could not help but keep looking at Calvin at intervals, his reaction, his cold gaze, his low but sharp edged tone back there, at the restaurant; just like he could feel her eyes boring into him, he rose to his feet, leaving the office. “Mrs. Alderidge,” she heard her name from a close range, and she turned away from the computer, turning to the person close to her, it was Emily. She walked up to Elysia who still looked confused, not until she dropped some files on her table. “Here,” she muttered under her breath, transferring her hands to her waist. “This is for you.” Elysia took a quick glance at the heap of files placed close to her before diverting it to Emily who was still standing there. Of course, she knew there would be questions, considering the amount of files placed on the table. “What am I supposed to do with this?” Elysia demanded, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. “Besides, who ordered me to do this?” Emily shifted her weig

“The name’s Damon Garrison,” he corrected the receptionist of the hotel as he gave her his card. She nodded. “I'm sorry sir,” in a tone that could be compared to a whisper, she muttered. “Uhm... how many months sir?” She demanded, heaving a sigh. “Four months, VIP room,” he answered, pushing his luggage closer to him. “Meals included, so tell me, what will be the total cost?” The woman pulled out a calculator, pressing some numbers out and when she was done, she pushed it aside, raising her head to meet his gaze. “If it's in dollars it's thirty thousand sir,” she answered, sliding his card closer to herself. “Should I make the transaction?” Damon nodded, motioning his hand towards her. “Yes please, go on.” “Here for the training at Bumrungrad International hospital?” The woman inquired in a respectful tone. Damon shifted his weight, staring at the woman for some seconds, till she gave him the card with a smile. “Done sir, you've successfully booked a VIP room, it's ro

For a moment, there was no word between the three of them, just eye contact. Elysia looked back and forth, and even when they said nothing, she understood the silence. She was smart enough to know what was going on anyway; she called Alicia's name but the latter gave no response, just stood there, eyes fixed intently on her. But after what proved to be an eternity, she took it off Elysia and transferred it to Calvin who looked at her all along. Alicia finally tightened her fist, heaving a sigh. “Uhm… I came to tell you that leaders of all departments are expected to be in the meeting room,” she diverted her gaze to her wristwatch, taking it back to Calvin. “Five minutes from now.” “You know the consequence of coming late, even though it's a minute, so I don't think I need to tell you,” she added, waving her hand and the clicking sound of her heels faded slowly as she walked away from their line of sight. Without waiting, Elysia made a sharp turn to Calvin who was about to t

“So thank you all for coming here today,” Orion cleared his throat, giving Nessa some files in which she passed around to the board members. “I know I informed you guys on short notice, so yeah, I'll be real quick.” “Anddd…” Nessa dragged the words as she passed the last piece of paper to a man who accepted it with a smile. “That's all.” “Done?” He asked, turning to Nessa who nodded briefly. “Yes sir.” “What?!” In an instant, the man who was smiling after he was given the circular exclaimed, revealing the shock on his face. “ What the fuck do you mean by we are changing construction company?” Other than Orion and Nessa who knew about it already, every other person in the room turned their attention to the papers that had been staring at them. “Please, I won't permit the usage of foul words here,” Orion called out, eyes locked on that of Mr. Benjamin. He was the only one who said it anyway. “Well fuck me in the eye,” he cursed once more, slamming the paper on the table.

“Hey, do you have a minute there?” Emily approached Elysia who was cracking her fingers after typing for a while. Maybe she waited for her to get done with what she was doing. Elysia turned to her, then back to the files at her front again; it was a hell of work but taking a break wasn’t a bad idea also. Although, she didn’t plan on using it to talk. “Can it wait?” Elysia asked, chugging a bottle of water. Emily smirked, nodding her head. “Yes it can, but you know, I'm done with my work, not everything though, and you are also done with yours.” She gestured towards the file that Elysia separated from the others. “So I just wanted to see you real quick,” she played with her fingers, compressing her lips into a thin line. “But it's fine if you don't want to talk.” Elysia looked at Angel's space, she wasn’t around that day. Not like she was scared or anything, but having a conversation with Emily just reminded her of what happened the previous day. “Oh, she's not aroun
