Nine months too late: After divorce by Baby Charlene

Chapter

Sylvie was more nervous than she had been in a long time.

She was finally through with her contract with Kage and would be rounding up at the office with him. Now that

the office work was out of the way, what was left was the agreement of living with him. She didn't know how to

go about that yet, but she needed to find way to break it.

Reaching her office, she got to work immediately, trying to wrap things up. It was a good thing Lancelot hadn't

bothered her yet after the last time. She didn't want to know if he was cooking up something bigger-she was just

happy she hadn't met him again, and hopefully, she wouldn't, since she was already leaving the company. By ten

a.m... she and Kage had to go for one final inspection.

Sylvie had been nervous about meeting him, considering the conversation they had the previous night.

She phoned him, ononed telling him

him she was ready for the meeting. Within minutes, he showed up, and they headed out together.

Sylvie was doing all she could to focus next to Kage. The whole tshe'd known him, she'd tried not to think of

his good looks, but after last night, she couldn't help but take it all into consideration. Kage was one fine man

with effortless charms. In terms of looks, Sylvie had seen men who were more handsthan he was. But of

course, he had the worst character.

She could also notice how tense he was beside her. God, she wished last night hadn't happened.

They were standing before the elevator, and when it opened up, Lana was one of the people who stepped out. It

looked like she was just arriving and appeared surprised when she saw Kage... and Sylvie. "Hey, babe. She

directed her smile at Kage. "Heading out?

Sylvie's stomach churned when Lana walked up to him, pecking his lips.

He stepped i

"If you had another chance, would you stopfrom getting married to Lana?" His words from last night

revisited her mind.

How could he even say such words to her when Lana was pregnant for him? He should love her. Sylvie couldn't

find herself being caught in such a web.

They reached the inspection site, barely saying a word to each other. They spent quite stthere before

heading back to the company.

Sylvie was becoming uncomfortable with the growing silence. She could count the words they'd spoken to each

other since that morning, and all of them had been formal

She felt a deep sense of loss when she reached the office. It was tto leave.

In a couple of hours, Sylvie was done packing her things and was ready to leave. She had to go to Kage to tell

him about it, of course.

Seeing her there, his countenance fell. It was as if he knew she was coming to tell him she was leaving, and he

didn't feel good about it. She followed him into the office. While he took his seat, she remained standing.

"Um..." she fiddled with her nails, trying not to look him in the face. "I just cover to tell you it's tto go."

She paused for a few seconds.

Kage busied himself with his system.

"I've given all the necessary files to Atty. She'll pass them to you when you need them. Um... thank you for your

time, effort, and resources. Thank you for giving my company this chance." Kage stilled, dragging his eyes from

his system to her face. "Okay His voice was tight. "I guess the deal was meant to end someday

Silence stretched between them, as if one was waiting for the other to say something.
