Wendy nodded obediently.
Whatever. Probably even fate was telling me that there was nothing I needed to take with me. Since I came here with nothing, I should leave with nothing.
I ignored Wendy''s hesitant expression and returned to my room. I called my friend, Yasmine Warren.
When she answered, I could hear the sound of a keyboard clicking away in the background. "So, did you manage to conquer your man?"
I covered my face in embarrassment. Agreeing to try the lingerie tactic was the worst decision I ever made in my life." Don''t even ask about it. I need to ask you something. Can you help draft a divorce agreement?"
"Of course! Why wouldn''t I grab a deal that has fallen into myp? Just send my contact information to the heartbroken woman who needs it," Yasmine replied.
"Have you ever thought that by chance, I could be the heartbroken woman you''re talking about?"
"Oh!" Her voice sounded apologetic. "Did youe to that realization after failing to win your dream guy over?"
I fiddled with the leaves of a nt in my room absentmindedly. I was lost in thought.
A sudden realization? Not really.
I replied, "Always being the giver in a rtionship would wear anyone out." After all, he had betrayed me.
I had ample evidence of his emotional infidelity. Regardless of whether he and udia had crossed the line or tasted the forbidden fruit, he wasn''t worth me putting in the effort
anymore.
Yasmine didn''t ask further and simply agreed. "In that case, have you thought about what I asked you before?"
I answered firmly, "You mean about the job? I''ll do it."
Yasmine and I met at the same private elementary school. We
went to the same middle school, high school, and university.
However, she was now a famouswyer in the city. Despite being a woman, Yasmine could dominate the courtroom as well as a man. Meanwhile, I got married right after graduation due to my intense infatuation and devotion to Nichs.
Despite her sessful career, Yasmine never forgot about me, her underachieving friend. She always rmended me tirelessly to herw firm''s partners. "Mr. Harmon has always admired you. Ss Harmon, you know him, right?" I still remember how proud she looked when she said that to me. It was as if she were Ss himself.
Ss was a well-knownwyer in the country. He had over 30w firms nationwide. His office in Radiant City was located at the most expensive building in the CBD. He was truly a leading figure in the legal industry. N?velDrama.Org ? content.
I had been interested for a long time. If it weren''t for my focus on preparing for pregnancy and wanting to have a child with Nichs, I wouldn''t have waited until now.
Determined, I went to Nichs'' study. I didn''t expect to find him working.
He looked up and spoke coldly, "Don''t you know how to knock?"
I replied, "I''m sorry, I didn''t know you were inside. I just need to get a few books, and then I''ll leave."
I needed to find my oldw books and use them to revise. After all, I hadn''t worked in the field for four years. No matter how outstanding I was in university, it was irrelevant now. Nichs'' brows furrowed slightly as he fixed his gaze on me. What are you looking for?"
I kept telling myself that life was a series ofpromises. Since I had decided to leave, there was no need to argue or
make a scene.
I continued searching while answering nonchntly, "Myw books from university."
Being awyer required a strong foundation in the basics. If I couldn''t even recite the legition from memory, then there was no need to dream of bing awyer.
Nichs didn''t need to think hard to figure out what I was nning. Suddenly, he started clicking on his mouse rapidly. The sound of his mouse clicking incessantly drove me crazy.
I climbed up and down thedder in front of the bookshelf while intentionally making as much noise as possible to vent my frustrations. I abandoned all pretense of beingdylike. Nichs'' eyes remained cold and indifferent. "You want to go outside and work? I won''t allow it." a
