Divorce Agreement

[Chapter 11]

He picked up the wine glass and drank it up.

Luis didn't stop David.

Instead, Luis picked up the bottle and filled David's glass again.

Although David didn't say anything, he knew that David was affected by his words.

So he added meaningfully, "Think it over.

Don't be like me.

Don't wait until it's too late before you regret it." David still didn't say a word.

He looked at Luis, and his deep-set black eyes darkened.

He held the wine glass tightly with his slender fingers, raised it to his mouth, and drank it up again.

Luis smiled when he saw David''s expression.

He thought he had said enough, so he changed the topic.

"If you get drunk, where do you want me to take you?" "To your place," David answered without hesitation.

David then raised his glass again and drank it in one gulp.

After thinking for a while, he told himself that he could no longer be softhearted.

At this moment, Julie had already calmed down.

She felt she had rested enough, so she decided to return to her desk.

David had already made things clear to her.

Since he had made up his mind, she wouldn't make a fuss about anything. She promised herself not to pester him ever again.

She had humbled herself more than enough.

It was time for self-love.

All she needed to do was believe in herself.

She had to prove to everyone that she was benevolent but no pushover.

There was no room for giving up herself.

After all, she was not alone.

Her grandmother and the baby in her belly were enough to inspire and motivate her to keep going.

They were her strength now.

For them, she could face anything.

She would remain strong to support and protect them.

Today was Monday, and it was normal for everyone in the company to be busy on this day.

Julie was not an exemption.

After her work, she did not clock out yet.

She decided to stay for half an hour to orient Kyle Palmer, another assistant in their department, about David's lifestyle and habits.

Although Kyle was listening to Julie attentively, he was confused.

The things Julie was telling him were what she actually did every day.

Why was she handing them over to him now? Although he was also an assistant, he was just an intern.

How could she entrust the CEO's lifestyle and habits to him? Kyle could no longer suppress his curiosity.

He decided to ask Julie.

But before he could open his mouth to speak, the intercom rang.

It was David, asking Julie to come to his office.

After putting down the receiver, Julie took out an envelope from the drawer of her desk, stood up from her seat, and went to David's office.

When Julie pushed the door open and walked in, the manager of the marketing department was still reporting to David.

So she quietly stood at the side and waited.

After his report, the manager bowed to David and went out of the office.

It was only then that David looked in the direction where Julie stood and said, "Come over." As soon as Julie approached his desk, he took out a document from his drawer, put it on the desk, and pushed it in front of her with his slender fingers.

"Read through this and see if there's anything you're not satisfied with.

Tell me if you have any objections." Julie looked at the document in front of her and saw the words "Divorce Agreement" printed in bold on the heading.

She was no longer surprised because she knew that this would happen sooner or later.

In fact, she thought she was already prepared for this.

pena But she did not expect that she would still feel sad.

She knew very well that once they both signed this document, they would no longer have anything to do with each other.

Perhaps he would even erase her from his memory.

"I'm done with my work, so take your time.

Sit down and read it carefully." David's voice brought Julie back to her senses.

Julie sat down obediently without saying anything.

Then she lowered her head and looked through the document.

While reading, she kept blinking hard to hold in her tears.

David gave Julie a very generous alimony.

He gave her two mansions and a check for fifty million dollars without hesitation.

Was he really this eager to divorce her? He showed his sincerity, so she would immediately agree to sign the agreement.

- When David saw that Julie was reading the divorce agreement intently, he inexplicably felt upset.

He subconsciously unfastened the top two buttons of his shirt, revealing his delicate clavicle.

And before he knew it, he was already explaining.

"Veronicais not in good condition.

She can't wait too long, so..." "I understand," Julie interrupted before he could complete his sentence.

She raised her head and looked at him with clean and pure eyes.

Then she looked down at the document in her hand.

"But I can't sign this agreement." For some unknown reason, David felt relieved when he heard this.

He felt much better now.

It was as if a thorn had been pulled out of his chest, making his breathing decongested.

His posture unconsciously relaxed a lot.

He put his hand on his desk and tapped the surface with his clean and beautiful fingers.

He asked, "Why can't you sign it? Is something wrong?" Before raising her head again, Julie adjusted her expression first.

Then she forced a smile and answered, "It's not that I don't want us to divorce.

But I don't need these compensations, so I can't accept them." After saying this, she handed him the divorce agreement she had prepared and signed.

It was plain and simple, without too many terms and conditions.

After they divorced, she would leave the house without taking anything that didn't belong to her.

She would not get any properties from him.

They would simply part ways.

Julie was not being arrogant.

She didn't deny that she needed money for her and her baby's future.

But she valued this marriage so much that she didn't want to turn it into a deal.

She would work hard to make ends meet rather than accept anything from him in exchange for their divorce.

Besides, she had a good salary in the company.

In fact, she now had a mortgaged house and enough savings to pay for her grandmother's treatment.

She could survive without relying on David.

Because of Julie's words, the agitation that David had been suppressing in his heart surged again.

And for some reason, he felt flustered.

He couldn't understand why he felt this way.

His brows furrowed, and his eyes turned cold.

His voice sounded a little angry when he asked, "Are you sure about that?" Julie was a little confused.

Was David unhappy? But why? Wasn't he very eager to divorce her? But in the end, she just shrugged these questions off.

After all, it had nothing to do with her anymore.

It was not something she should worry about.

Instead of answering his question, she said gently, "Mr.

William, the court will close in forty minutes.

We still have time to go there." David didn't answer.

He just looked at Julie.

His frown deepened even more.

She wanted them to go through the divorce now.

Was she really this eager to divorce him? The night before last night, she was obediently lying in his arms.

But now, she was so distant that she was no different from a stranger who had nothing to do with him.

How could she abruptly change? This thought pissed David off.

He said coldly, "I can't.

| have an important appointment with Mr.

Evans later." "Oh, Mr.

William, you must remember it on a wrong date.

Your appointment with Mr.

Evans is tomorrow evening." After saying this, Julie turned on the tablet in her hand, opened David's schedule for the entire week, and showed it to him.

In this way, he wouldn't have any reason to doubt her words.

David gritted his teeth secretly.

He just didn't want to go through the divorce this fast.

So he lied, "Originally, yes.

But he called me just now and rescheduled it." "Oh, is that so? All right." Julie was confused, but she didn't ask anymore.

"If there's nothing else, you can leave now." David wanted to drive her away because he didn't want to see her eager to divorce him anymore.

He didn't know why, but she made him feel more upset.

Wasn't he eager to divorce her? Why was he unhappy that she seemed in a hurry to submit their divorce agreement? Julie saw the disgusted look on his face, and it broke her heart.

Indeed, he could still affect her.

Fortunately, they wouldn't be seeing each other again after their divorce.

It must be a lot easier to forget him if she would not cross his path again.

Since David asked her to leave, Julie stood up.

She was about to leave when she suddenly remembered the envelope in her hand.

She turned around, handed it to him, and said, "Mr.

William, here's my resignation letter." However, David didn't accept it.

He snapped, "Resignation letter? Julie, let me ask you.

Who begged me for this job back then? I have given you the opportunity to work in my company.

And you throw it away just like that? How could you quit at a whim? Do you only take this workplace as a playground?" As he spoke, anger filled his beautiful eyes.

When he noticed that she was about to explain, he waved his hand and ordered through clenched teeth, "Get out!" Julie understood that he didn't want to see her anymore.

So she turned around and walked to the door obediently without saying anything.

Suddenly, she heard a crisp sound behind her.

The door was closed, so it echoed in the entire office.

It was as if something was broken.

She was curious, but she didn't dare to turn around.

What was wrong with David? Did he want her to continue working for him even after their divorce? What kind of man would want his ex-wife to be his assistant? Julie felt David was acting weird.

The next day, something unexpected came up, so David became busy.

The project in the overseas branch that had been put aside was suddenly brought forward, and he had to deal with it.

Since he had to inspect the branch office personally, he flew abroad for a business trip.

He was away for four days, and he wouldn't come back until Friday.

For Julie, the wait was agonizing.

She felt like the four days were four years.

When Friday came, she finally had the chance to go to David's office in the afternoon.

As soon as she entered his office, she was about to say something.

However, she was interrupted by the knock on the door.

Then Matteo came in and said that he had something important to report.

Julie thought it was something urgent, so she turned around and was about to go out.

However, she heard David's voice, stopping her.

He was still her boss, so she didn't dare to disobey him.

She stopped and waited quietly at the side.
