A Successful Career After Divorce

Under the bright lights, Shannon looked stunningly beautiful. In person, she was even more breathtaking, like a delicate rose in full bloom. She and Brendon made a perfect couple with their exceptional looks.

As Ranita scrutinized Shannon, Shannon also curiously looked at her and tilted her head with a smile. Her voice sounded like that of a songbird, “Hello there! You must be Ranita? I’m Shannon. It’s nice to meet you.”

Shannon quickly walked over and intimately held Ranita’s hand. “Ranita, I accidentally spilled coffee on my skirt earlier and had to borrow Brendon’s shirt to wear instead. I hope you don’t mind.”

Ranita lowered her eyes and smelled the scent of cedarwood on the white shirt before speaking in an indifferent tone, “Miss Murphy, you’re being polite, but men and women have different standards of dress code. Besides, Brendon is already married so it’s not quite appropriate for you to wear his clothes.”

“Ranita! What relationship do I have with Brendon? It’s just one piece of clothing! He didn’t say anything about it either! You’re so petty!” Shannon pouted while looking at Brendon.

Brendon frowned slightly, “It really is just one piece of clothing; it doesn’t matter.”

Ranita felt uneasy inside.

“If you don’t agree that it’s inappropriate, then why ask me if I mind? Since that’s the case, then don’t bother asking me anymore,” said Ranita coldly as she looked at Shannon with disdainful eyes.

Shannon felt wronged as she leaned towards Brendon while rubbing her chest against him, “Brendon, sorry! Did I make Ranita angry? Maybe I should change back into my skirt so that you two won’t fight because of me.”

“No way!” said Brendon as he reached out to pat Shannon on the head gently while speaking softly, “Ranita won’t fight with me over something like this. Besides, my clothes are mine to decide who wears them. Feel free to keep wearing them!”

“Thank you so much Brendon! You’re always so good to me! I really like you!” exclaimed an overly sweetened voice from Shannon which made Ranita feel nauseous as if she had swallowed a fly.

“If Mr Stuart is busy, then I’ll leave first,” thought Ranita who couldn’t bear watching this lovey-dovey scene any longer.

In haste, Ranita left but when closing the door, she met Shannon’s gaze which was filled with prideful provocation.

Ranita instantly felt wronged until tears welled up in her eyes.

At noon, Ranita intended going back home for some rest, but received Amiya Murphy’s call asking her go visit Bulgari hotel.

Amiya was Brendon’s mother.

She personally called Ranita, and although Ranita didn’t want to go after three years’ concession, she didn’t know how to refuse , hence agreed reluctantly.

On a day that hadn’t yet reached summer, it just rained and the temperature immediately dropped. Ranita was wearing a short skirt and her knees felt cold. She wasn’t sure if it was because of the cold, but she felt a little discomfort in her lower abdomen.

After parking her car, Ranita took a short break before leisurely heading to the private room designated by Amiya.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

Ranita knocked on the door and entered. Amiya’s laughter immediately stopped, and her eyes showed a hint of displeasure upon seeing Ranita.

Ranita was forcibly given to Brendon by Wyatt, and no one in the Stuart family except for the deceased Wyatt had any regard for her.

“Why so late!” Amiya was very displeased.

However, Ranita’s attention was drawn to Brendon and Shannon, the handsome couple intimately close. Shannon was feeding Brendon grapes by hand, looking like a sweet newlywed couple.

A heart, as if thrown into a frying pan and repeatedly tormented.

Brendon didn’t seem to expect her arrival, his dark eyes showing surprise for a moment before quickly returning to calmness. His voice was cold as he said, “Have the waiter bring another chair.”

“The position is just right, adding one more chair would be crowded!” Amiya said casually, “Besides, Ranita is not a member of the Stuart family anymore. There’s no reason for her to attend the family banquet.”
