Beyond the Divorce

Sure enough, Ryan asked, "What kind of dinner is it?"

"Martin's hosting it. Also, he's Nelson's son. Martin wants to discuss some project matters, so I thought it would be necessary to prepare for it," I spoke casually but startled Adrian and Ryan.

Ryan insisted, "I'll come with you. You can't deal with them alone. I'm the company's general manager and have the right to participate in negotiations. You need me, especially since we're in a foreign place." Adrian agreed, "He's right, Ms. Chloe. We don't know how the people here, and safety is our priority."

I sneered and dismissed their concerns, "You're overthinking it. Just because they're crafty doesn't mean I fear them. I think they want to negotiate the terms with me, so I'll talk to them. You're giving them too much credit. However, I still need to make preparations."

Ryan glared at me, saying, "You're not allowed to be willful in this situation. We aren't in Foswood. While we might feel reassured back home, you must ensure your safety here. Tell them I'm coming with you. We won't talk if they refuse."

His tone was firm, and his expression was severe. I understood he was genuinely concerned about me. After all, there had been frequent accidents involving us. However, I felt Martin and the others wouldn't harm me because we were in Bourdamun.

No one would dare do something extreme on their own turf.

I said, "You don't understand. Martin wants to discuss a substantial topic with me. He might avoid sharing details if you come."

Ryan stared at me in frustration. "You're right, I don't understand!"
