Semua Bab He Sent Me Away for Three Years. Now My Divorce Has Him Panicking.: Bab 171 - Bab 180

Second, his assistant had also reached out to Mendel’s VP on James’s behalf to request a meeting.She had refused outright and left no room for negotiation.“Oh, really?”After hearing that, James let out a cold laugh.Interesting.All his life, he had never met a woman like this. She had rejected him again and again.He still wanted to keep dragging things out with Nina, but he knew what mattered more right now.Nina could wait.Mendel’s VP, however, needed to be dealt with as soon as possible.He told his assistant, “Put the first matter aside for now. Focus on the second one. Find out her schedule for the next few days.”Since the proper, formal route didn’t work, he would try another way.“Yes. I’ll handle it right away.”After James hung up, Simon teased him for being such a workaholic, taking business calls even at this hour.James didn’t bother denying it.Then he suddenly remembered the special backing his assistant had mentioned earlier, so he brought it up casua

The assistant didn’t dare waste any time. He headed off right away.But the answer he received was that Mendel’s VP hadn’t arrived yet.He didn’t dare delay and immediately reported it to James.After hearing that, James let out a cold laugh.The forum was about to begin, and she still hadn’t arrived.It seemed this woman really thought highly of herself.At the same time, many people heard that James had arrived and came over with their business cards.Among them were quite a few current business partners of Gibson Corporation.After all, this was a business setting. No matter how little James thought of them privately, he still had to keep up appearances.Before long, he was surrounded by people and had no time to think about anything else.On the other side, the reason Nina hadn’t arrived yet was because the car she was in had broken down.She had already been waiting on the roadside for half an hour.At first, she thought it would be fixed quickly, but it still hadn’t b

James froze for a moment, then immediately pressed, “Did you make it clear to her who I am?”“Yes, Mr. Gibson.”“She must have seen me speaking onstage earlier, then?”“She should have. She had already arrived by then.”“So what you’re saying is that she knew who I was, knew I came here today specifically to meet her, and even saw me give that speech, but still refused to see me?”James spoke slowly, confirming every word with his assistant.He couldn’t believe it.He had already gone this far, yet she still refused to give him even the slightest courtesy.“Where is she?” he snapped at the assistant.“She already left.”“Which way?”“That way.”Following the direction his assistant pointed, James immediately strode off.He wanted to see for himself just who this woman was.After walking for a while, he finally caught sight of her.But there was a door between them.He was still inside, while she was outside, trying to get a cab.James quickened his pace and went around

In an instant, Nina thought of running into James at the conference that morning.He really was like a ghost that wouldn’t leave her alone. No matter where she went, he somehow managed to appear.Just thinking about it made Nina feel uncomfortable all over.She needed to ask Jane about the divorce case as soon as possible.After work, Nina talked to Jane about it, but only after making sure the case wouldn’t affect Jane’s new job.Lately, Jane’s time had been split between preparing to start at her new firm and working on Nina’s divorce case.Unfortunately, there hadn’t been much progress on the divorce case yet. Even Jane hadn’t expected James to be this shameless.She told Nina everything.“James has filed his response,” Jane said. “He’s contesting the divorce. He claims the marriage isn’t beyond repair, that there’s still a chance of reconciliation, and that he’s willing to work on fixing the relationship. He also submitted supporting evidence and said he’s willing to partic

Nina didn’t spell out what exactly they were supposed to wait for, but she already had plans of her own.Once she proved herself at Mendel, became more established there, and found the right opportunity, she would definitely reach out to them.Of course, that was only if they were willing.She didn’t say anything more, and Alan did not ask.The two chatted for a while longer, but since Alan still had to work overtime, they ended the call.After hanging up, Nina couldn’t calm down for a long time.Alan and the others were people she had personally trained.They had once suffered through the hardest days with her and witnessed the company’s brightest moments by her side.Now that she saw them feeling so stifled and defeated, she didn’t feel good either.But at this moment, there was nothing she could do.All she could do was give this project everything she had, deliver real results, and earn the right to make demands.Monday soon arrived.The project meeting was scheduled fo
