30 Days Till I Divorce My Husband

Chapter 62

Drew continued, “Mr. Jason turned it down. He said that Dorvold Group had been prepping for this project for ages and that they’re a better fit. Plus, he’s made it clear to them that if Dorvold Group ever needs a hand during the later stages of the project, Nelson

International will be all in to assist.”

Jason knew Cole had his eye on the Digital Springs project, so he had stayed out of the picture from the get-go. Otherwise, all the drama that followed would’ve been non-existent, and Nelson International would’ve snagged the project from the start.

After Drew wrapped up, Estrella offered a wry smile and kept mum. Jason had turned down an invite from the top brass, which took her by surprise.

Drew struck while the iron was hot, “Ms. Estrella, he really values you. There’s so much going on behind the scenes that you’re not aware of.”

Estrella chuckled at Drew’s constant championing for Jason, “Drew, you’re so dedicated. I’m almost tempted to poach you for the Dorvold Group.”

Drew chuckled back, “Ms. Estrella, you are just humoring me.”

Estrella’s personality was a hit. Drew adored it, and so did all of Jason’s friends. If it hadn’t been for that fateful incident three years ago, they might have been blissfully happy by now, with their children toddling around and calling out “mommy” and “daddy”.

Half an hour later, Estrella arrived at Nelson International and was promptly led to an available office. The desk was piled with documents and reports, along with a stack of expense reimbursement forms.

When Estrella looked puzzled and confused, the secretary explained, “Ms. Estrella, Mr. Jason insists that you personally review and sign off on these applications, contracts, and expense forms. He’s worried about oversights otherwise.”

Estrella blurted out, “Don’t you guys have an admin department? What about legal?”

The secretary meekly replied, “Admin and legal have already signed off. Mr. Jason said it’s not good to go until you’ve had a look too.”

Estrella couldn’t help but probe, “Did your previous legal team handle these things? Even the approval of expense reimbursement forms?”

The secretary squirmed a bit, “Supposedly, yes
