Always There: Win My Ex-wife Back

Chapter 36: We're Still Hours Away From Getting Off Work 

"What's the matter?"

It was not until George called her that Michelle came back to her senses.She had no idea how long she had been standing there, lost in thought.

"Nina is calling you," George said.

With a nod, Michelle turned around and walked towards her office.

Nina must want to ask her to go shopping after work as the content of this morning's meeting had already spread all over the hospital.

The moment Michelle came into the office, she heard the young woman sigh.

Once Nina saw her, she immediately straightened herself up and asked, "Michelle, what should I wear for the dance party this weekend? Please help me!"

"Calm down, Nina.There are still a few days to go.You don't have to be anxious," Michelle told her. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

She couldn't understand why Nina was in such a hurry.There were still four days left until the weekend and plenty of time to decide what to wear.She simply didn't see any reason for the girl to worry.

Upon hearing this, Nina glared at her furiously.

"Come on, Michelle! You're not seeing things clearly here.This isn't just any party.It's a joint event between our hospital and the Roberts Enterprise.Don't you understand?"

"Yes, I know.So what?" Michelle asked in confusion.

Nina rubbed her sore temples as she explained, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Michelle! Just think about it.The Roberts Enterprise is a big and wealthy company, well-known all over the world! It

has dabbled in a bunch of different things over the years, including electronics, finance, and real estate."

"What are you getting at?"

George, who had been standing aside in silence this whole time, suddenly joined the conversation between the two women.

Raising her head, Nina rolled her eyes at him.

To her it seemed George and Michelle were cut from the same cloth.

"What I'm trying to say is that there will be many important people and CEOs from different companies at the party! Can't you see what this means?"

"Oh! So you think this is a good opportunity for you to find a rich husband, right?"

George clapped his hands, finally understanding it.

Michelle poured herself a glass of water and sat on the chair, ignoring the conversation between the two people.She couldn't get her aunt's words out of her head.

Since Rose told her that her grandfather was back, Michelle kept wondering whether she should go visit him or not.

"Michelle! What are you thinking about?"

Nina shouted impatiently once she realized the woman had her head in the clouds.

"What?"

Being pulled back from her thoughts, Michelle saw Nina pouting and glaring at her.

"Nina, I don't think Michelle is interested in this at all.How about I give you some advice instead?" George suggested.

"You?"

Nina looked at George suspiciously as she continued, "Are you serious? You're a man.What could you know about women's fashion?"

"I'll tell you."

He stretched out his index finger and shook it twice in front of her.

"You said there will be a lot of important men at the party and that you want to look beautiful, right? I assume you wish them to notice you, don't you?"

Nina nodded in agreement.

"Well, since I'm a man and you want to impress other men, of course, I should know how to identify the most charming and attractive woman in the crowd.Am I right?"

Pulling up a chair, George sat down and looked at the two girls with a smile.

As she took in his words, Nina nodded once again as something suddenly occurred to her.

"Yes, you're right.Why didn’t I think of it earlier? How about the three of us go shopping together after work today?"

"Michelle? Are you listening to me?" Nina asked between her teeth, seemingly ready to teach the other woman a lesson if she refused.

Without a choice, Michelle agreed helplessly.

Then she looked at her watch and realized that there was still a long time until they got off work.She was starting to wonder if Nina wanted to skip work to go shopping.

"Great!" Nina smiled happily.

However, as soon as she looked at the time, she felt discouraged again.

"Oh no, we're still hours away from getting off work! This certainly has been the longest day of my life.Time just doesn't seem to pass," she complained with a sigh.

At the sound of that, the other two people in the room also sighed helplessly.
