How My Ex Became My Next by Kirk Stanley ( Gilda Lynch )

Chapter 16

In the first–class section of the aircraft, Jensen took out the two rings that he said to throw away before.

Jensen hesitated for a moment and picked out the bigger one to wear on his finger. He had never tried it on before, but he didn’t expect that the size was just right as if it had been made according to the size of his finger.

But Jensen refused to wear the ring for three years with the excuse that it would affect his work. Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

If that happened to other couples, the woman would complain about it.

However, Gilda didn’t complain at all. She was docile and sensible. She indulged Jensen in every way.

But Jensen didn’t expect that Gilda would leave resolutely after they divorced. She didn’t even take the wedding ring.

Jensen held the ring and played with it silently, frowning. He thought, ‘I saw your gentle, submissive side and know how resolute you could be. Which one is your true character…

The plane arrived in Geleston.

Jensen went directly to the CEO’s Office on the top floor of Miller Corporation.

Dillan squinted and stared at the computer screen. Then he picked up the document given by Jensen to confirm the information again. He put down the document and said solemnly, “Jensen, I’ve read it. Your company is indeed qualified for the expo.

Jensen raised his eyebrows. As he expected, his company was disqualified by Glory Corporation on

purpose.

Dillan asked, “Did you offend Patrick, the CEO of Glory Corporation? The record shows that he exercised his right to veto your company’s participation.”

Jensen’s face darkened. Dillan didn’t know what he was thinking.

“I haven’t seen him. My secretary has been handling things about this expo all the time. The previous report showed that everything was all alright, and we just needed to sign a contract.”

“Then where’s your secretary? Let her deal with it,” said Dillan, fiddling with a pen casually.

Jensen unconsciously lowered his gaze to the floor, looking dejected. “She quit.”

Dillan suddenly realized something. He said, “It must be her who played tricks behind your back. She took all the resources away after her resignation, which made you lose such a big order.

“She must have signed a non–competition agreement when she joined the company. Sue her immediately.”

Hearing his low opinion of Gilda, Jensen, however, put on a sullen face.

At this time, Lanny noticed that something was wrong with Jensen’s expression. He smiled awkwardly and

interrupted, “Mr. Miller, this secretary is Mr. Harrington’s wife.”

Dillan covered his mouth with his fingers. His eyes were full of surprise. “You are amazing, dude! Where

wife: did you meet this capable woman? She is your secretary and your

Jensen was lost for words.

Jensen didn’t bother to argue with Dillan as he knew that Dillan liked to joke with him. He had got used to

1. it.

Meanwhile, Jensen had to admit that Dillan was right for one thing–Gilda was really capable.

Jensen’s heart sank, as he realized that he had been always strict with Gilda. He only wanted her to be a perfect secretary, ignoring the fact that she was also his wife.

Dillan stood up and patted Jensen’s shoulder with a teasing smile. “When did you get married? Why didn’t I know? You didn’t even introduce your wife to me.”

Although Jensen and Dillan were

good friends, they seldom met because they lived in different countries.

Jensen and Gilda were married in secret, without holding a conspicuous wedding.

Only Kylan Olson and a few friends at home knew that. Besides, they all somewhat looked down on Gilda as she came from a humble family. They thought that Gilda didn’t deserve Jensen, so they never

mentioned Jensen’s marriage outside and regarded him as a single man.

“They got divorced some time ago,” Lanny blurted out. He regretted it but it was too late.

Noticing Jensen’s sharp eyes, Lanny hurriedly lowered his head and blamed himself inwardly.

Initially, Dillan planned to joke with Jensen again, but he gave up the attempt when he heard that.

“It’s okay, Jensen. Marriage is the tomb of love. Divorce is the right choice.”

After that, Dillan sighed as if thinking of his own business.

“What’s wrong with you?” Jensen asked.

Dillan couldn’t wait to pour his heart out to his good friend. “I don’t want to get married,” bitterly.

“My father has been urging me to marry the daughter of the family that runs Glory’Corporation. She was abroad before, so I had an excuse to avoid the marriage. I heard that she returned home recently, and my grandfather began to urge me again!

“My father had even chosen a wedding date for me. He asked me to go home and marry that woman.

“I don’t know how to get rid of this marriage at all!”
