Tom gave a coldugh without even ncing at Gavin. After speaking, he wrapped his arm around me, stepped into the room, and mmed the door shut


    with a bang.


    Listening to Gavin furiously banging on the door outside, I nervously nced in that direction.


    "You should move today. It''s not safe here."


    "Move where?"


    Without hesitation, Tom replied, "I have a ce in Silverwood Gardens, right across from your office. It''s fully furnished, and you can move in today."


    I hesitated momentarily, uneasy about the earlier exchange between Tom and Gavin.


    Though I felt most of what he said was for show, it still made me nervous.


    "What''s wrong?" He seemed to sense my hesitation,ughing lightly. "Did I scare you with my acting earlier?"


    "No."


    When he spoke jokingly, I rxed and said, "Thanks for the help, Tom."


    Gavin continued causing amotion for a while, but eventually, the security kicked him out.


    I began packing up to move right after he left to avoid further trouble.


    Since I had just moved recently, this time, it was much quicker and smoother.


    I hired a movingpany, and everything was done in no time.


    I even changed my phone number to prevent Gavin froming back. If he disagreed with the divorce, I decided to go through the legal process instead.


    It would take some time and effort, but it would finally end his harassment. When Dawn heard I had moved again, she immediately guessed the reason. "Did that bastard Gavine to harass you again?"


    "Yeah." I nodded. "I didn''t want to keep dealing with him, so I decided to move."


    "Where did you move to? Send me your address. I''lle over and cook for you!" she said excitedly.


    I smiled and sent her my new address.


    "Silverwood Gardens?" she said, astonished. "That''s a luxury neighborhood!"


    "Tom is letting me stay there for a while. Once the divorce is finalized, I''ll move back."


    "Tsk tsk tsk!" Dawn couldn''t help but exim. "It''s nice having a wealthy and powerful senior. I''m his junior too, but why didn''t I get that treatment..."


    "Dawn!" I replied helplessly. "Tom isn''t helping me for nothing. There are conditions involved."


    "I know. You''re meeting his elders, right?"


    I was speechless.


    When she said that, I couldn''t help but feel something was off...


    Could it be that Tom...


    But as soon as that thought crossed my mind, I shook my head-impossible.


    With his background, he could have any woman he wanted. Why would he be interested in someone like me, a woman about to get divorced?


    Not to mention, the White family would never approve.


    "Okay. Stop saying nonsense. I''ll order some seafood boil to be delivered. Do you want some?"


    "Yes! I''m on my way!"


    It didn''t take long before Dawn arrived.


    "How did you get here so fast?" I quickly opened the door to greet her.


    "It''s close to my office," she said, taking off her bag and looking around. "Wow!


    How big is this ce? The living room is huge..."


    "It''s about over 2,000 square feet..." It was much bigger than I had before and had three bedrooms.


    She gave me a thumbs-up. "Impressive."


    But soon, her gaze fell on the scratch on the back of my hand. "What happened to your hand?"


    "A dog scratched me."


    "Ah? Did you get a rabies shot?" Dawn asked, looking worried.


    I smiled and exined, "It wasn''t a four-legged dog. It was Mandy."
