Chapter 40 Who Said We’re Divorced?

Colleagues around us started whispering amongst themselves when they heard the word "prison".

"That's nonsense!"

I panicked.

Also, I didn't understand why a person like Phoenix would want to work with a small company like ours.

When I was at a loss, something warm landed on my shoulders.

Then, Matteo said, "I'm the one pursuing Grace. The project has been settled, hasn't it? Is there anything else I can help you with, Mr. Waller?"

With a casual remark, Matteo shed light on the question about our relationship.

Since he announced it in front of everyone, does that mean I agree with him if I didn't say anything?

But if I resisted, Matteo would be humiliated.

I was conflicted. Phoenix walked up to me and declared, "I'm here to see my wife."

...

The words "my wife" blew my mind.

I could hear the colleagues around me whispering again.

I could feel Matteo letting go of his arms on my shoulder slightly. He seemed to be hesitating.
