The CEO’s Ex-Wife Is A Famous Doctor

Chapter 17: Forget Evan

“How was the first day in medical school?” Shantelle was beyond shocked to find Keith Henderson leaning against a BMW sports car in front of her school.

He looked striking in a white Chinese–collared shirt, grey coat, and trousers. His dirty blond hair was brushed up neatly, and his face was clean–shaven.

“I look great, don’t I?” He teased. Seeing how Shantelle studied him closely, a sly grin formed on his face.

“What – what are you doing here?” She asked, ignoring his comment.

“I am on a business trip. Prima MedCare has over ten thousand policyholders in Warlington, and I plan to strengthen our company’s hold here in the city,” Keith revealed.

“That she is living with Evan in our marital home? I know,” Shantelle said while looking out the window.

“What?!” That information took Keith aback. He answered, “I don’t think –”

“I heard it loud and clear. Nicole picked up the landline when I called Mrs. Shaw, our house caretaker,” Shantelle reported, still avoiding his gaze.

“I don’t know about that,
