A Successful Career After Divorce

“Take a closer look!” Ranita gritted her teeth and lowered her voice, coaxing him. “Or maybe you can send me your location.”

“What’s a location?” Brendon asked.

Ranita bit her cheek in frustration. “Do you even know what you’re holding in your hand?”

“What am I holding?” Brendon asked innocently.

Great, Ranita thought. Let Brendon deal with his own mess. She was his ex-wife, so why should she care so much?

Ranita guessed that he probably wasn’t in any danger. In that case, let him get drunk. Just as she was about to hang up the phone, Brendon spoke again, “Ranita, you’re such a bad woman. Why won’t you let me take you to the hospital?”

“Do you dislike me? How many women would love for me to have this opportunity? You really are a bad woman!”

Ranita was at a loss for words. He was clearly drunk. She hoped that when Brendon woke up, he’d remember what he said.

“Do you like Dylan or Steve? You should like Dylan since you both slept together! You’re so bad for stringing along my friend while sleeping with Dylan…”

Ranita couldn’t stand it any longer. “Brendon, shut up already! I never slept with Dylan!”

After yelling at him, Ranita felt relieved, but Brendon sounded extremely aggrieved on the other end of the phone. “See? Now you’re getting mad at me too! You weren’t like this before!”

Back when they were married and she had feelings for him hidden away in her heart, she cared about everything concerning Brendon. But now, they were divorced, and there was no relationship between them anymore. Why was she so foolish?

“Brendon…”

“Ranita, there are so many stars outside,” Brendon started rambling again. But there were hardly any stars visible in the Kurima night sky. Ranita realized he must have been looking at streetlights. She asked with concern, “Are you still in the office?”

Ranita couldn’t figure out how a drunkard had managed to get from the club to the office.

“It seems like it…”

Ranita hung up on him without hesitation and immediately called Caleb to find Brendon at Stuart’s Corp.

Half an hour later, Caleb sent her a message saying he’d found Brendon lying on the sofa in his office.

Ranita breathed a sigh of relief upon reading the message but couldn’t sleep well that night because of all the commotion.

Boulderland Mansion.

Caleb brought Brendon home and met Shannon at the door. She rushed over to help Brendon up and asked, “What happened to Brendon? Why did he drink so much?”

“The people at today’s gathering were quite intense,” Caleb replied, leaving out the details of what had occurred earlier. After helping them into their room, he took his leave.

Brendon lay quietly on his bed with his clothes slightly disheveled. However, with his tall stature and handsome face, Shannon’s heart raced as she looked at him.

“Brendon, let me wipe your face for you.” Shannon twisted a towel and moved toward him but was stopped when Brendon grabbed her wrist and pulled her closer to him.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

Shannon stumbled into Brendon’s arms, causing her heart to race even faster.

“Brendon!” Shannon blushed as she saw Brendon taking the initiative. “You’re awake…”

Brendon squinted at her. In his blurry vision, he realized that the person in front of him wasn’t Ranita. He furrowed his brow and asked, “Where’s Ranita? You’re not Ranita?”

Shannon snapped back at him.
