Nine months too late: After divorce

Well, I dont have to be the one to get it for you before you value it. That was wasteful. Plus, did you really have to be so rude

Kage rolled his eyes hallway, touching his neck. "Is there ever a time Sylvie Hawkins stops talking?"

Sylvie glared at him and said nothing more.

They got into the elevator and coming out to the ground floor, they ran into some company a business group.

Kage slackened his footsteps, his chest tightening at the sight of him. He hadn't seen him in months and was hoping it'd stay that way. Because now, he wanted to punch him hard in the face.

"Kage Hawkins," the man called with a mirthless laugh. "Wow. It's incredible how fare has made our paths cross today, don't you think

That was Logan Tims, acting CEO of Pulse-Wave. He was thirty years of age and had known Kage since he took over his father's company.

Pulse-Wave was the direct competitors of Kage's company. They dealt with gadgets as well for years, and had been trying to overpower Fluxpoint. But despite their efforts, Fluxpoint has always remained at the top.

It was safe to say Logan was Kage's mortal enemy, and someone he'd kill for sure if it wasn't illegal. He glared at him with so much passion, even as Logan had a deceptive smile on his face.

"Who'd have thought a man like you would actually care about fate. Perhaps, it'd have been much better if fate had led solteone else."

"Ah. Don't be so cruel, K. I'm genuinely happy I met you today. You know, I've been dying to share some goodnews with you. Or. He placed a hand on his chin, as if contemplating it.

"Oops, don't worry. I'd rather you find out yourself on the news. And don't worry about having to wait too long. it's just around the corner," he concluded with a smile.

Kage was furious, but he did a good job masking it

"And it's all thanks to that incredible member of your family that helped me out. I'm aware you all had a meeting about it," he laughed hard.

Even Sylvie was disgusted with the way he spoke and laughed. But it wasn't him she was entirely concerned about. She was more concerned about the young man standing next to him, who had been staring at her as much as she had been staring at him.

Her breath had lodged in her throat when she first saw him. His name was Brian, and few years ago, he'd been into her. Like, he liked her a lot and wanted her by all means. But Sylvie had just been out of a relationship and wasn't interested in men. So, she turned down hi "I am eager to see how foolish you'd be, Logan," Kage scoffed. "You must be more shallow than I thought if you think you can

With a final glare, he walked away. Sylvie and the others following hit.

The way Brian had looked at her, I was as sure he wanted to say some words to her. She never thought she'd see him again after all those years, but well, she really hoped he'd stay out of her hair.

Kage was angry. Even if he wasn't saying a word about it - of course he had no reason to tell her about his emotions- she could still tell he was very furious.

Seated in the car, next to him, she checked the time. It was past eleven.

Well, sie decided to give it a try...

"Um it's almost lunch time. So, I was thinking I should..."

Not now Sylvie," he said without looking at her, his gaze directed at the window.

Good lord. Sylvie bit her bottom lip, then tried again.

"Seriously. I'm very hungry, Kage. I'd be happy if you could just let me..."

"If you think I'm letting you get off this car so you could go meet up with Westley, then keep dreaming. If you're so hungry. you wait. When we get back to the office, you go to the cafeteria, get yourself something to eat and get back to the damn work, he snapped at her, his Sylvie was stunned. Her lips hung open as she looked at him as though, he was someone else.

She noticed the driver steal a glance at her from the rearview. Of course, the guard in the front seat didn't need to look at her to confirm he'd overheard that. Who wouldn't?

She felt embarrassed.

Crossing her arms with a huff, she looked away.

They didn't say a word to each other until they got back to the company. She got something to eat from the cafeteria, then went back to work. But of course, she held a grudge in mind against him.

Kage was making a call in his office, standing close to and staring out the window. From where he stood, he could see the cars driving in and out.

It didn't take long before he saw a sight that made him lose focus on the call. A car had pulled up in the lot, and it was none other than Westley. The

som of a bitch.

He didn't need to think twice. It was closing hours and he knew exactly why he was there,

Furious, he dropped the call he was making and stormed out of the office. Getting to Sylvie's office, he found her already on her feet, arranging her bag, Despite being angry at him, she shot hina a startled look at the way he'd entered.
