30 Days Till I Divorce My Husband

Chapter 243

Talk about a man with a plan. Mr. Jason was the king of schemes.

Estrella shot Jason a look that could only be described as pitying the hopelessly clueless. Upon noticing her incredulous expression, Jason leaped at the chance to demonstrate his loyalty. “Babe, I swear on everything that’s holy not a word I just said was a lie. If you don’t believe me, have your colleagues at the office run a check. I’m as broke as a church mouse.”

Drew, sensing an opportunity to chime in, quickly assured her, “Ms. Estrella, I personally put together those documents last night, and you have my word on that.”

Before Estrella could utter a response, Drew smoothly pulled the car over into a parking space, saying, “Ms. Estrella, we’re stuck in traffic anyway. How about we grab something to eat? I’m starving too.”

The duo’s tag-team act ultimately led Estrella to relent and step out of the car. Frankly, Estrella couldn’t care less if Jason ate or not, but Drew worked for Jason, and it wasn’t right to drag Drew into their personal affairs. Besides, Drew had been nothing but good to her over the years, so she decided to indulge him this once.

“Four orders of pancakes, two coffees, that’ll be $9.50. You can pay by cash or card.”

As the vendor handed over the pancakes and coffee, Jason turned to Estrella, clearly waiting for her to foot the bill. Estrella crossed her arms and didn’t show any intention of/ opening her wallet.

Meanwhile, Drew was busy devouring the pancakes, not giving a second thought to the matter of payment.

“Honey,” Jason called out to Estrella, signaling for her to pay.

Estrella glanced at Drew, and the moment their eyes met, Drew, who had been obliviously eating, suddenly realized he was expected to pay and took off running without another word.

As Drew sprinted away, he called back, “Oh, right, Ms. Estrella, I need to take those documents back to the office. I’ll head there now.”
