All Chapters of He Sent Me Away for Three Years. Now My Divorce Has Him Panicking.: Chapter 391 - Chapter 400

After showing Professor Smith and his team into the conference room, Yvonne hurried back out.“Take all of this down now. By the time we finish the meeting, I don’t want to see any of it left.”The employees had no idea what had happened.They had spent hours that morning setting everything up exactly as instructed, only to be told to tear it all down almost immediately.One of the more outspoken employees finally asked, “Ms. Gibson, was something wrong with the setup? We followed your instructions exactly. It seems like a waste to take everything down already.”Yvonne had no intention of explaining.All she cared about now was getting back on Professor Smith’s good side, and admitting why the decorations had to come down would only embarrass her.Her expression immediately turned cold.“I told you to take it down, so take it down. Why are you asking so many questions?”She glared at them.“If you want to keep your jobs, get back to work. By the time this meeting is over, I w

Yvonne had accomplished what she wanted, so she let the subject drop.Instead, she smoothly changed the topic.“James, I understand why you had your doubts. But the fact is, Professor Smith agreed to work with us. We managed to do something no one else could.”She continued, “What matters now is making the most of his team’s expertise and resources so we can get Gibson out of this situation and get the project moving again.”James glanced at her before finally letting the matter go.“At this point, that’s all we can do.”Then he asked, “Where did you arrange lunch?”Yvonne knew from his tone that the subject was finally closed.She quietly breathed a sigh of relief.“Don’t worry. I checked with Professor Smith this time. He approved the restaurant.”For once, she was telling the truth.She had confirmed the lunch plans with Professor Smith personally.It was a well-known local restaurant that served Burgola specialties. The food was good, the atmosphere was relaxed, and whi

“Whatever.”James was still angry. He turned around and went straight back to the private dining room without another word.Yvonne watched him leave with a small smile.The angrier he was, the more convinced she was that he believed exactly what she wanted him to believe.Once he disappeared from view, Yvonne headed off too.But instead of going to the restroom, she walked straight toward Nina and Alan’s table.Nina had chosen this restaurant after doing some research.The atmosphere had plenty of local character, the food was good, and it was the kind of place that worked perfectly for someone’s first meal in Burgola.What she hadn’t expected was to run into Yvonne here.Knowing how much Yvonne liked to show off, Nina would have assumed she would take Professor Smith somewhere much flashier.Apparently, they really couldn’t avoid each other.Not that Nina cared.The moment Yvonne approached, Alan started to get up, clearly ready to confront her.Nina stopped him.Instead

“Okay.”That night, after helping Alan get settled into his new place, Nina went home, took a shower, and climbed into bed.She had been out all day, so she should have been exhausted.But instead of getting sleepy, she felt wide awake.And she knew exactly why.Leo had been away on a business trip for three days now, and Nina hadn’t gotten a single text from him.The bedroom was quiet, lit only by the warm glow of the lamp beside her bed.Nina lay on her side under the covers and opened their chat without really thinking about it.Their last conversation was from a few days ago.The final message was a simple reply from Leo.“Okay.”Nina slowly scrolled upward through their older messages.The farther she went, the stranger the silence now felt.She hadn’t really noticed it before, but they used to text each other a lot.There were almost always good-morning and good-night messages.Sometimes Leo would ask what she had eaten that day. Other times, she would ask him a qu

Leo didn’t mention James by name.He didn’t want Daniel or anyone else finding out about Nina’s marriage and starting rumors that could affect her reputation.“I haven’t seen anyone waiting for her downstairs,” Daniel said. “Maybe something else is bothering her.”He kept it vague on purpose, hoping Leo would take the hint and ask Nina himself.But Leo’s mind went in the opposite direction.He was still trying to give Nina space. The last thing he wanted was to start asking personal questions and make her uncomfortable again.After a long silence, Daniel finally took a chance.“Why don’t you ask her?”“No.”Leo rejected the idea immediately.“She might not want me to.”Then he added, “And don’t tell her I’ve been asking you about her.”“Okay.”Daniel didn’t understand why, but he agreed anyway.Before they ended the call, he asked, “Mr. Taylor, when are you coming back?”“I’m not sure yet. I still have a few things to deal with here.”Leo didn’t give him a definite answ
