Beyond the Divorce

"As long as it's not someone like Michelle," I said, laughing with a hint of distress. "You have no idea! She's been blocking me downstairs daily, and I have no clue what she's up to."

"Michelle does give off a vibe to avoid. You better keep your distance. Having her fixate on you can't lead to anything good."

With that, Theo stood up. "Chloe, I'll take my leave. Call me when you're back, and I'll arrange everything. Don't worry, they're all proper people."

"Are you really leaving?" I reluctantly stood up, feeling a bit unfulfilled.

Theo replied, "We'll have a proper chat when you're back. I won't waste your work time."

I escorted him to the elevator, and we agreed to meet again when he returned to the capital. It seemed that Theo was indeed a person who got things done, was straightforward, and had depth. After seeing Theo off, I called in Carol to ask about Michelle's visit in the morning.
