Beyond the Divorce

To my surprise, it was Melvern.

He noticed me and walked toward me with a smile on his face.

"Ms. Chloe, what a coincidence. We meet again," he said, looking at me like an old friend.

"Mr. Melvern, hello." I nodded politely, wondering why he was there. However, I didn't ask.

"Are you heading out?" he asked casually, glancing at me.

"Yes, just stepping out for a bit." I smiled faintly. "Are you here for business?"

"Yes, I'm here to meet an old friend," he replied, seemingly carefree. "Which floor is your company on?"

"The 10th floor," I answered, but I didn't extend any courteous invitation for him to visit.

I was sure that if I did, he would show up at my door tomorrow.

"Ms. Chloe, could I invite you for a chat sometime when you're free? I have some questions I'd like to consult you about," he asked politely.
