Chapter 33 Evelyn Is His Ex-girlfriend


    "Nothing." Alexia smiled bitterly. "In Chaim’s mind, I’m nothingpared to Evelyn. So, if he wants to


    get back together with Evelyn, he will definitely divorce me."


    "Grandpa Ro won’t permit it though."


    "It doesn’t matter whether or not Grandpa Ro will permit it. There’s only one thing for certain."


    Alexia breathed in and out in frustration. "If Chaim really wants a divorce, Grandpa Ro can''t stop


    him."


    Chaim wasn’t willing to marry Alexia in the first ce. And the only reason they got married was


    Grandpa Ro ordered it. Chaim didn''t want to disappoint Grandpa Ro, so he begrudgingly


    agreed. However, if Chaim really wanted to get a divorce. Grandpa Ro couldn''t stop him.


    "Ms. Alexia, you mustn’t overthink. Plus, I believe Mr. Lancaster isn’t an unreliable man," Aunt Song


    comforted her.


    Alexia was moving the fruit around her te, not eating. "I want to believe that too, but I am terrified


    and worried now."


    Even though Chaim promised to have a babyst night, if he wanted a divorce, he would get one even


    if she had a child.


    "I don''t really know what Mr. Lancaster has been thinking." Aunt Song shook her head. The small


    grudge she had against Chaim deep inside her growing ever so slightly.


    Over the past three years, Aunt Song had seen what Ms. Alexia had been through, and how Mr.


    Lancaster treated Alexia. If she were honest, had Mr. Lancaster been a sensible man, he wouldn’t


    divorce a wife as good as Alexia. What had Alexia asked for in her life? She wanted a husband who


    loved her, and Mr. Lancaster didn''t fit that requirement at all.


    "Ms. Alexia, eat your breakfast now, before it turns cold. As for Mr. Lancaster, you don''t need to worry. I


    think Grandpa Ro will have a talk with his grandson soon and he would never let him do something


    so unreasonable." Aunt Song handed the fork back to Alexia and told her to have breakfast.


    "Grandpa Ro?" Alexia picked at the oatmeal in her bowl, looking surprised. "Does Grandpa Ro


    know Chaim has been seeing Evelyn?"


    Aunt Song felt guilty and rubbed her hands on her apron. "Yes, I told himst night, and he was furious


    about it."


    "What did Grandpa Ro say?" Alexia looked at Aunt Song intensely.


    "He said little, just that he would handle the whole thing. He also asked me not to tell you, but I didn''t


    expect you would read the news about Evelyn."


    "Alright then." Alexia calmed down and began eating.


    She honestly didn''t expect Grandpa Ro could do much to help her. But, for the moment, only


    Grandpa Ro could help her. She hoped with all her heart that Grandpa Ro would stop Chaim


    from getting back with Evelyn.


    After breakfast, Alexia left for work, remembering to bring the file.


    When she arrived, many people were still looking at her, but not as many as there had been, and none


    were whispering as she passed. Alexia didn''t care one way or another, and she took the elevator up to


    her floor and strode toward Chaim’s office.


    "Mr. Lancaster," she called, knocking.


    "Come in," Chaim replied from behind the door.


    Alexia opened the door and went inside. "I brought the donation agreement."


    She handed the file to him with both hands.


    Chaim put down the pen and took the file, flipping back to thest page of the file. Seeing her signature


    on the file, there was a strange feeling for just a moment, then it was gone and everything was normal.


    "Go and meet the new secretaries. They’re all elites from the headquarters of the Lancaster Group and


    are far more qualified than the previous ones. You can learn a lot from them," Chaim said, putting the


    donation agreement in a drawer.


    "Alright." Alexia nodded slightly. "I’ll go back to work then."


    "Wait, a minute."


    "Yes?" Alexia stopped. "Is there something else, Mr. Lancaster?"


    Chaim pulled out a sh drive from theputer and handed it to her. "There’s information about


    cooperation n with the Swift Group on this. Please deliver this to them."


    "To the Swift Group?" Alexia looked at the sh drive and carefully put it in her pocket, afraid to lose it.


    N?velDrama.Org (C) content.


    Chaim nodded. "The Swift Group took the initiative and sought a partnership. I had already read their


    files and I think it’s a good fit. So, I made some modifications to their n. Tell them, if they find it


    reasonable,e meet me tomorrow and have a detailed talk."


    "Of course." Alexia nodded and turned around to leave.


    As soon as she left, she saw Grandpa Ro striding angrily toward her, his housekeeper and a few tall


    and strong guards following him.


    Alexia looked around, and after she confirmed no one was there, she addressed him freely. "Grandpa


    Ro, why are you here?"


    Grandpa Ro smiled at her gently. "I’m here to meet Chaim, and you’re here…"


    Grandpa Ro looked at her in her professional suit, curious.


    Alexia straightened her dress and tried to sound professional. "Grandpa Ro, I work for Mr.


    Lancaster as a secretary."


    "Really? You work for him as a secretary?"


    "Yes."


    "That''s great. He’s the president and you’re the secretary. Wife and husband working together!"


    Grandpa Roughed happily.


    However, his happiness didn’tst long. "Only a stranger calls him Mr. Lancaster, and you are his wife,


    so you shouldn''t address him as such."


    "Grandpa Ro, I can''t do that. I work in thepany and I should follow the rules." Alexia looked


    down in shame.


    The housekeeper smiled and replied. "She’s right, Mr. Ro. They work in the samepany, and


    they know what they are doing. You shouldn’t worry about them. They may even enjoy the formalities."


    "Do you?" Grandpa Ro looked at her slyly.


    Alexia blushed and wasn’t sure how to respond. "Sort of…"


    Of course not! They were not interested in doing it at all! In thepany, they were in a normal leader-


    member rtion, there was nothing else between them. However, Grandpa Ro believed what the


    housekeeper said, so he was happy.


    "That''s great! Alexia, you can go back to your work now if you are busy. I need to speak with Chaim


    right now, and the three of us can have dinner together tonight."


    "Of course." Alexia gave him a big smile, but in her mind she couldn’t stop wondering why Grandpa


    Ro was there.


    Maybe he wasing to talk with Chaim about Evelyn, as Aunt Song had mentioned.


    "Grandpa Ro?" Hearing the door being opened without his permission, Chaim was about to be


    angry, but when he looked up, he saw Grandpa Ro.


    Chaim stood up in surprise. "You should be resting in the mountain home. Why are you here?"


    Grandpa Ro wasn’t happy, at least not as happy as he had been while talking with Alexia. "I heard


    Evelyn came back. Is that true?"


    The news surprised him. "Who told you this?"


    ‘Did Alexia tell him?''


    "It doesn''t matter who told me. Just answer my question. Yes or no?" Grandpa Ro said, sitting in the


    soft chair the housekeeper brought over for him.


    Chaim sat down too, face to face with Grandpa Ro. "Yes."


    "Why didn''t you tell me?" Grandpa Ro mmed his fist on the armrest, his anger palpable.


    Chaim frowned, "It wasn’t a big deal, so I didn’t believe I needed to tell you."


    "You have the gall to think you can decide what is and isn’t important to tell me? How dare you not tell


    me? You were afraid I wouldn’t let you meet her again." Grandpa Ro sneered at him.


    Chaim wasn’t happy, but he knew better than to say anything.


    "So, I am right then. Chaim, did you think that just because you’ve been in charge of the Lancaster


    Group for a few years, you don''t have to respect me anymore? You dare try to disobey me?" Grandpa


    Ro pointed at Chaim, his finger quivering in anger.
