It was uprising to see such kindness from a boss toward an employee who wasn't feeling well, Josephine felt a tinge of shame for not being as compassionate as

"Josephine!" This one sentence intrated him

"Why would you speak to me that way? If you hadn't been throwing a fit and refusing to come with me to the ribbon-cutting event, I wouldn't have needed to hting bet. And what did you tell alad? Why did you involve him? Do you not realize how many problems 1 already have?"

She was relieved she didn't tell joe about Nadine. He could have started an argument with her right at the entrance of the restroom.

She calmly pushed his hand away and stated, "I just informed Uncle Joe that we're filing for divorce. That's all I said, No need to be anxious"

Zayn replied impatiently, "I told you, I don't want a divorce!!!

"In that case, we'll have to take legal action to end our marriage." With those words, she promptly walked into the ladies' restroom.

She believed that once she stepped inside, she could escape from these uncomfortable moments. However, as soon as she walked in, she noticed Nadine standing by the mirror, fixing her makeup.

She took a shallow breath, feeling trapped between these two. Luckily, Nadine didn't seem interested in talking. She simply had a smug expression on her face as she applied blush to her cheeks.

Initially, Josephine considered avoiding her. But then she realized, why should she? She had nothing to hide and had never wronged avoided, it should be Nadine. So she approached the mirror with assurance and began washing her hands. anyone. If anyone should be

As she looked up, she noticed that Nadine was wearing a string of pearls around her neck. It was the wedding gift Benjamin had given her! Her expression

She wanted in demand that Nadine give it back, but then she realized that the had always kept the necklace in her jewelry box inside their cabinet. If Nadine had it Zayn must have ghen it to her. So she would have to ask Zayn for it back.

She reached for her phone and quickly typed out a message to Zayn. "Zayn, that pearl necklace Nadine is wearing belongs to me. I don't want to cause any embarrassment for you or Nadine, so could you please return the necklace to me when I come out of the restroom?"

Zayn replied promptly, "Nadine has an important business event and needs to wear jewelry. I took one of your necklaces that you rarely use and let her borrow it.. She'll give it back to you after the event."noveldrama

It was completely absurd!

Josephine stored out of the restroom and faced Zayn, unable to hold back her frustration any longer.

"Do I need to spell it out for you? When I left your villa, I took all of my belongings with me. The reason she's wearing this necklace is because you gave it to hera long time ago What does this have to do with a business event?" Zayn's hands clenched into fists, and he quickly scanned the room before responding through gritted teeth. "Josephine, she's just a girl from the countryside who recently became famous. She has nothing. But you, on the other hand, have an abundance of jewelry. Lending her one or two pieces wouldn't hurt.

"Besides, you hardly ever wear this necklace and didn't even notice it was missing. Why does it matter to you?"

Josephine's anger was palpable, but she held herself back from swearing due to her upbringing. Instead, she calmly tried to reason with him.

"Regardless of whether I wear it or not, my possessions belong to me. If you don't use money in your bank account for some time, can just take it and spend it however I want?"

Asmirk tormed on Zayn's lips as he reached out to touch her delicate neck. "You've always been able to spend my money as you please."
