All Chapters of He Sent Me Away for Three Years. Now My Divorce Has Him Panicking.: Chapter 381 - Chapter 390

The moment Leo saw Nina standing with James, irritation flared.She had only promised him that morning that she would try to stay away from James, and now here they were together again.So when Leo started walking toward them, he was already in a bad mood.Then he got close enough to hear Nina say,“I don’t have those kinds of feelings for him.”Leo stopped.For a moment, he just stood there.The anticipation in his eyes slowly faded, replaced by disappointment he couldn’t quite hide.All the nervous excitement he had felt that morning, all the time he had spent thinking through what he wanted to say, suddenly felt pointless.If Nina didn’t feel that way about him, then there was no reason to ask.Pushing the subject would only make things harder for her.And with him being her boss, she might even feel pressured to let him down gently instead of telling him how she really felt.Maybe he had simply been too confident.Maybe he had read too much into everything between them

Yvonne waited until James finally finished his call.Even then, she didn’t dare walk too close. Keeping some distance between them, she asked carefully, “James, why don’t you eat something? You can be angry with me, but you still need to take care of yourself.”James acted as if he hadn’t heard her.He walked right past her and sat down without so much as looking her way.Yvonne was humiliated, but she swallowed her irritation and tried again.“I know you’re still blaming me for what happened with Alan, but I already explained that. It wasn’t my fault.”She paused.“And I found a way to solve the staffing problem.”That finally got James’s attention.For the first time in days, he actually looked at her.Yvonne was so relieved she nearly teared up.“A solution?”His tone was openly skeptical.“Do you have any idea how many people we need? There isn’t another team that size in the entire country that we can just bring in.”James had already looked into it himself.If they

It was a small industry, and news traveled fast.Something this big would have gotten around anyway, but with someone as well-known as Professor Smith involved, it spread even faster.It wasn’t long before word of his upcoming arrival reached Nina and the others at Mendel.Leo was one of the first to hear about it.Ever since overhearing Nina tell James that she didn’t have feelings for him, though, he had been keeping his distance and contacting her far less often than before.If she really didn’t see him that way, he didn’t want to keep bothering her or make her feel pressured.The only reason they happened to be together that day was because they had both attended the same meeting.Afterward, Leo stopped Nina before she left and told her the news.Professor Smith was coming to Burgola.And he would be working with Gibson Corporation.Of course Nina knew who Professor Smith was. Everyone in their field did.She could also guess why he had agreed to work with Gibson Corpora

“Professor Smith isn’t just any guest. Even though he’s here to work with us, we should still make sure he’s properly welcomed.”Yvonne’s gaze swept across the office.“If something as small as a messy workspace or a poorly prepared reception leaves a bad impression, don’t say I didn’t warn you.”The atmosphere in the office immediately grew tense.Everyone stopped what they were doing and began getting things in order.Yvonne remained where she was, enjoying the feeling of having everyone scrambling at her command.She could barely hide how pleased she was with herself.It wasn’t long before one of the employees who was particularly good at flattering people spoke up.“Ms. Gibson, this is incredible. You actually convinced Professor Smith to come here and work with Gibson Corporation. I don’t know how you pulled it off.”Several others immediately joined in.“You really do have connections. Not just anyone could bring in someone like Professor Smith.”“Exactly. With his tea

“Of course. You’re right.”Yvonne quickly led Professor Smith and his team toward the parking area.Just then, his attention shifted past her to someone standing off to the side.There was no security detail, no elaborate welcome display, and no line of luxury cars.Just a woman standing quietly by herself.She was dressed in simple, professional clothes and had a folder in her hands, apparently using the spare moment to look over some documents.She wasn’t trying to draw attention to herself.She simply stood there waiting, calm and composed.Professor Smith’s expression softened slightly.“That’s more my style.”He nodded toward the woman standing nearby.“Something simple like that is enough. Meet me at the airport, make sure everything’s arranged, and we’re good to go. There’s no need to make a big production out of it.”Yvonne had still been smiling.She didn’t really care what he said. As far as she was concerned, all she had to do was agree with him and keep him hap
