After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back

"Awake?" Gavin walked over to her, his gaze falling on her slightly dazed face. Without warning, he reached out and pinched her cheek. The action was natural, even intimate, leaving her no time to react.

Jolie nodded, then asked, "Didn't you go to work?"

"I'm back," Gavin replied simply.

Gavin naturally took her hand and led her to the sofa. Sitting down beside her, he said, "Go ahead."

Jolie hesitated for a moment, then said, "Technically, I'm still abroad."

The statement seemed abrupt and confusing, something that would make no sense to anyone unfamiliar with the context.
