Beyond the Divorce

Chapter 919 A Quick Bite Together

Back in the office, I spotted Melvern waiting for me in the small meeting room with a cup of coffee on the table.

I walked over and smiled at him apologetically. "I'm sorry for keeping you waiting. I got tied up with some discussions and couldn't break away."

He chuckled nonchalantly. "No worries. I happened to have some free time today, so I thought I'd wait for a bit. Sorry for making you rush."

Internally, I couldn't help but smirk. I'd never seen him busy. Every time I met Melvern, he was either shopping with a woman or wandering around aimlessly.

He glanced at his watch and suggested, "Well then, Ms. Chloe, how about grabbing a quick bite together? It's lunchtime, after all."

I promptly declined. "It's okay. I told my assistant to order lunch because I have a meeting at one o'clock. I can't exactly go out for a meal."

Just as I spoke, Carol entered the meeting room with a lunchbox.

I said, "If you don't mind, Mr. Melvern, we can have this takeaway together."
