The Ceo’s Ex-Wife Can’t Escape

Chapter 49: Is A Divorcee Upon waking up, Airina was shooed away by Matthew, of course gently. He said that it was nearing nine in the evening, so she had to go home lest she want to bother his beauty sleep. She scoffed at his idea, nevertheless going home with a drowsy expression. On the way there, she even saw a brand Nicole was modeling for which had hit her rather awake.

As she approached her address, she calmed and anticipated for Jackson’s figure to turn around – relentlessly smiling sweetly at her. Somehow, her heart craved for him excitedly, but she nonchalantly shrugged it off. And when she had parked her car, she discovered that instead of his figure, there was no one around.

There were boxes contained with newly cooked meals, though. She shook her head, scanning around to see if she would see him but was futile. She didn’t think of it much, besides it has been two months since his chasing began.

Maybe he has gotten tired.

She almost ate everything Jackson had cooked for her had it been not for the fear of puking due to overeating.

When she stood before the windows that were drawn, she could feel the chilly breeze brushing against her cheeks. Unconsciously, she was figuring out the reason why he didn’t show up in front of her tonight – as if she was deliberately waiting for him to wave, smile, and even steal kiss on her forehead.

Unknowingly, she lifted her hand, longingly touching her forehead with a rather sad visage of expression.

“How was our new recruited model’s performance?” Airina asked while walking as though she was in a runaway fashion as Jena tried hard to have the same pace as her, her forehead was beaded with sweat, “I heard from the PR team that our sales have raised for two percent due to Nicole’s extraordinary performance, was it?”

For now, personal feelings aside, Nicole did well on her job. At least, she was good at her job and seducing man. Airina folded her arms, waiting for Jena, even kindly stopping in front of the door where Nicole was taking a break.

Jena calmed her nerves, answering, “Everything you said is right, Mam. In fact, there were a lot of positive feedbacks about her style, poses, her aura – everything she gives makes the buyers addicted,” she smiled, “I guess Miss Nicole is really a good person!”

At her words, Airina laughed in a mocking tone.

She corrected with a serious vibe around her, “Good in someone’s career doesn’t make her a good person.”

Jena tilted her head in bewilderment. “How so, Mam? You’re astonishing in your job and is even a great person!”

Airina clicked her tongue, “Speak. One time you asked me regarding my love story. Would you like to hear it before we head inside?”

Jena clapped her hands excitedly, nodding her head without hesitation while wiping her sweat away. Noticing that, Airina gave her handkerchief to her before dropping a bomb.

“I, your most admired and respected person,” she smiled widely, “Is a divorcee.”

Afterward, Airina left her stunned, heading inside the room with an amused smile on her face. She wanted to laugh at Jena’s opened mouth and speechless eyes – she was clearly shocked at the truth she had just heard personally from her boss.

Jena had expected that she had a heartbreak which is common when loving someone, but as a divorcee? She wasn’t expecting, it wasn’t on the list of where she thought her boss undergone through.

Airina, on the other hand, watched as Nicole finished her shoot. Upon the completion of the shoot, she approached Nicole and now not only the staff’s gazes were on them, but even the camera that was yet to be turned off was focused on the facing women.

Airina’s gaze scrutinized Nicole from head to toe – intensely staring and when she was done, she released a sigh and nodded her head.

“Your outfit is bland.” Was the first thing she said which gained a scoff from Nicole.

“Do you want to try this on? I bet this will look good on you, Miss Beverly.”

Airina smiled, “No need. I don’t wear clothes who had been worn by someone. By that, I meant that in all kinds of sharing something.”

Nicole pretended to be innocent, “I didn’t tell you to share this dress with me, because this isn’t mine rightfully.”

Airina’s lips were presented into a devious, amusing smile which Nicole had witnessed for the first time.

“How peculiar that you know this isn’t yours.”

Airina faintly touched the hem of the lace before walking away and telling the crew.

“The theme of this photoshoot is nature – a firm woman fending off herself. Do you think lace is a good start with that?,” Airina approached the set of dresses, shaking her head in disappointment, “This doesn’t give the theme wanted to offer. Here, this wool vest would be a good idea, and put off an armor is good, too.”Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Nicole sighed, saying, “I was the one who chose my outfit myself, Airina. The theme is nature, so lace is the perfect complement for it. Other than that, the flower tousled over my right shoulder made it better.”

Airina turned around. “Leave or abide by the company laws.”
