Lahat ng Kabanata ng Two Exes, One Woman: Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

SPENCER“Why do you need an extra desk in your office?” Rosy asked, perching on my desk.“How about you tell me what you are doing here this early in the morning?” She just got back to the country, so my office is the last place she should be. “Shouldn’t you be in your father’s office, learning a thing or two about the business?”She rolled her eyes. “I just got back, Spencer. I am not ready to bury myself in work yet.” Leaning forward, she flashed me a smile. “Breakfast? I heard about a new restaurant around here.”“I’ll pass.”I am waiting for Aurora to show up. Maybe we could all grab breakfast if she hasn’t already eaten.Rosy narrowed her eyes at me. “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, Spencer, and I can swear that you have not_”A soft knock on the door interrupted her, and she quickly hopped off my desk.“That must be your secretary.” She straightened her jacket and smoothed down her hair. “Let’s not give them a reason to spread rumors.”The door opened, and Auror

AURORAI just witnessed Spencer wrap up a meeting with one of his clients, and I must say, I am thrilled by this man’s cold negotiating skills. Watching him go on and on with the man until the client was backed into a corner with no other option than to accept Spencer’s offer was nothing short of amazing.I think I am beginning to believe his words when he said I was going to learn a lot from staying with him.As soon as the client walked out of the restaurant doors, Spencer stood to his feet, walked over to the coat rack, grabbed both our coats, and walked back over to me.Naturally, I outstretched my hand to take my coat from him, but he placed a hand on my shoulder and turned me around instead, helping me slip the jacket on.The gesture caught me slightly off guard.Only after he was done putting mine on did he wear his. He gestured toward the door, and I followed.“How did you get him to agree eventually?” I asked as we stepped outside.Instead of heading for the car we came in, h

SPENCERSeated on the sofa with a cup of coffee in my hand, I waited for my ten o’clock appointment, whom Joyce mentioned had already arrived, to walk in.I didn’t have to wait for long before the door pulled open, and Ethan Hayes walked in, wearing a black three-piece suit.As put together as he looked, I could tell he had made a great effort to look that way. His suit was perfectly fitted, his hair was neatly styled, and not a single detail about his appearance seemed out of place.But the nervousness in his eyes gave him away.The moment his eyes landed on me, he hurried over with a wide, nervous smile.“It is a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Cartier,” he greeted, reaching out his hand for a handshake.I accepted it briefly before gesturing toward the empty sofa space facing me. “Please, have a seat.”Nodding, he carefully sat down, his eyes roaming around the office as though he was trying to take in every detail without appearing too impressed. “You have a lovely space.”“The complime

AURORAMy father and Jonas had an important indoor bidding meeting to attend, and despite my initial reluctance, they insisted that I come along with them.We pulled up in front of the hotel, and I immediately noticed the absence of paparazzi. Not a single camera flashed in our direction. It was unusual, considering the number of influential people expected to attend the event, but perhaps that was precisely why the meeting was being held there. With so many dignitaries and powerful business owners in attendance, security was clearly tight enough to keep unwanted attention away.The moment we stepped inside, I realized just how exclusive the gathering was.The hotel lobby was elegant without being overly flashy, with security personnel positioned discreetly around the entrance. People dressed in expensive suits and designer gowns moved through the space, greeting one another with the familiarity of people who had known each other for years.My father wasted no time introducing me.To

SPENCERThe second meeting I had with Ethan took place outside my office. I deliberately chose the location because I did not want to take any chances with Aurora walking in and seeing him.I sat across from him, studying him over the rim of my coffee cup.He looked calm on the surface, but there was something distracted about him. His attention seemed to drift every few seconds, as though his mind was somewhere else entirely. His fingers remained wrapped around his coffee cup, slowly turning it against the table without him seeming to realize it.I tried to focus on the reason for our meeting, but my mind kept returning to the same irritating thought.The flowers.A bouquet had appeared at Aurora’s gate, and the initials E.T.H had been written on the card.It has to be him.There was no other reasonable explanation.Ethan had asked about Thelma Wells during our first meeting. Not long after that, Aurora received a bouquet from a mysterious admirer whose initials matched his.The timi
