All Chapters of Oops! My Ex-Wife Is Now My Boss: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Chapter 61Eleanor's POVBy ten in the morning, I had already gone through two reports, signed a stack of documents, and listened to a department head explain why his team needed another week to complete a task that should have been finished days ago.I was beginning to understand why Father sometimes looked ready to throw everyone out of his office when I was still in highschool.He was always pissed one way or the other and everything made sense. Audrey had left my afternoon schedule on my desk before heading out to handle a few arrangements. I glanced through it, making a mental note of the meetings I needed to prepare for, then reached for my phone.I had been meaning to call Adrian.Not for any particular reason. I haven't heard from him ever after my father died and there were a few things I wanted to ask him, and calling seemed easier than sending a string of messages that might take hours to receive a proper response.The fact that he didn't reach out to me all these while wa

Chapter 63Stacy's POVI stood in the middle of Adrian's bedroom, staring at him as he sat on the edge of his bed.I didn't know whether to be angry or worried. Perhaps both, because the longer I looked at him, the more difficult it became to decide which emotion deserved my attention first.He looked better than he had the last time I'd seen him, but he was still pale, with shadows beneath his eyes and an unmistakable exhaustion in his movements. Part of me wanted to ask how he was feeling, whether the medication was helping, and why he hadn't told me he was sick in the first place.The other part couldn't get past the fact that Eleanor Caldwell had spent the night in his house.His house.I'd arrived that morning expecting to find Adrian alone, perhaps still resting after his illness. Instead, I'd opened the door to find his ex-wife walking out with a bag on her shoulder, looking as though she had every right to be there.And the worst part was that Adrian didn't seem particularly b

Chapter 55Eleanor's POVThe first thing I noticed when I woke up was the empty space beside me.I reached across the bed, expecting to find Julian still asleep, but my hand met nothing except the rumpled sheets. The pillow beside mine had been pushed aside, and the warmth he had left behind was already fading.It was better he left early before someone had walked in on the both of us. I opened my eyes properly and stared at the ceiling, trying to gather my thoughts.My body felt heavy, and a dull soreness reminded me of exactly why getting out of bed seemed like such an unreasonable task. Julian had never been particularly good at letting me have the last word, but what had happened between us earlier had taken his usual stubbornness to an entirely different level.I pressed my face into the pillow and groaned.That man was going to be the death of me.The memory brought heat to my cheeks, and I quickly pushed the covers aside before I could spend the next hour lying there thinking

Chapter 67 Eleanor's POV It had been several days since I received the photograph of Julian and me at the beach, yet I hadn't managed to put it out of my mind. The unknown number hadn't contacted me again. No new messages, no calls, and no further threats. I should have been relieved by the silence, but somehow, it only made me more anxious. I couldn't tell whether the sender had changed their mind or was simply waiting for the right opportunity to strike. Every time my phone vibrated, my heart jumped before I even checked the screen. Sometimes, I would pick it up without receiving any notification, scrolling through my messages to make sure I hadn't missed anything. I had even started keeping it beside me during meetings, which was unlike me. I hated distractions, especially at work, but lately, my attention had become difficult to control. The worst part was that I couldn't tell anyone. I couldn't tell Ryan because I didn't want him asking questions about Julian and me. I coul

Chapter 69Eleanor's POV I watched Ryan from across his office, growing increasingly suspicious of how quickly he had tried to end our conversation about Claire.Claire left already after I had escorted her outside, but I knew I needed to discuss with Ryan. I didn't like her countenance earlier and I knew it was something between the both of them.“You two definitely know each other,” I said. “And judging by the way you both reacted when you saw each other, this wasn't an ordinary meeting. How exactly do you know her?”Ryan leaned back in his chair and gave me a guarded look. “We met a while ago. That's all you need to know.”“That's not an answer. Did you date her?”He stared at me. “Why are you asking me all these questions?”“Because Claire is my friend, and I don't want her getting involved with someone who might hurt her. Did you like her? Were you together, or was it one of those situations where two people get close and one person decides to disappear without an explanation?”
