I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 21

Chapter 21 If You’ve Regretted We’re divorced, so what’s the point of him calling me? Is he trying to mock me? He blocked me on WhatsApp, so I’m just doing the same thing by blocking his number on my phone. We’ve both done the same thing once, so fair and square. … After shooting the last scene at the studio, Mia bowed to the staff from the production company and voiced out sweetly, “Thanks everyone for the great effort. I’ve ordered some drinks for everyone and it’s right outside. You can take one each when you’re on the way out.” “Thanks, Mia. You’ve worked very hard too.”

“I mainly stood there and posed for a few shots, so my job’s not as tough as yours. You guys should go back and get some good rest. I’m looking forward to our next collaboration.” It seemed that her shoot was not over as she was still putting on an act of courtesy in front of everyone; as soon as she turned around, her face shifted instantly. She quickened her footsteps and headed back to her dressing room. Subsequently, she slammed the headpiece in her hands onto the table. Bang!

“These bunch of so-called professionals must be idiots! They took so long to complete a few simple shots! Did they think that we’re filming a movie here?” As she spoke, she turned around to berate her personal assistant, “I’ve told you so many times not to accept such cheap and low advertisement jobs! Do you think that I’m not worthy of better gigs?” Prior to this, she had just obtained a chance to appear on an international platform. She had also gained ambassadorship for a renowned brand by relying on Aidan’s influence. Right now, by choosing this inferior advertisement, it would be a significant drop in her status.

Her personal assistant silently replied, “This advertisement would provide a huge exposure and it would be very helpful in building up your popularity.” “What’s the point of gaining popularity? I don’t need something insignificant like this. They should honestly review themselves. They’re not worth my time at

all!” Her personal assistant stopped speaking as she thought, Mia was the one who personally asked to be part of the advertisement three months ago. She had basically forsaken her image to beg for this chance.

However, ever since she became entangledwith President Pearson, she’s had a complete change in character. She seems to think that she’s better than everyone now. After Mia’s tirade, she took out her cell phone to check out the public comments on the Internet.

However, as soon as she clicked on Twitter, she saw Leanna’s response to the matter and the statement that Lux Jewelry posted. Mia clenched her teeth and thought, I can’t believe that Leanna’s still well and fine after such a huge commotion! She was about to create some more trouble for Leanna when suddenly, a sharp woman’s voice rang out in the silent dressing room. ‘I’ve told you so many times not to accept such cheap and low advertisement jobs! Do you think that I’m not worthy of better gigs?” ‘What’s the point of gaining popularity? I don’t need something insignificant like this.

They should honestly review themselves. They’re not worth my time at all!’ Mia was stunned beyond words upon hearing that and she clearly did not expect her words from earlier to have been recorded. She stood up abruptly and asked, “Who’s out there? Come out right now!” Meanwhile, Leanna smiled and beckoned her by waving in the corner. The smart woman held a phone in her hands, which was the very source of the voice recording that was played. “Excuse me, I intended to come over and greet you, but you were too loud and domineering as soon as you entered the room, so I didn’t get a chance to speak,” Leanna apologized insincerely. At that point, Mia’s face turned as pale as a sheet. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

She clenched her fist tightly by the side of her thighs and her fingernails were deeply embedded into her flesh. “Leanna, you…” “I’m not going to do the same thing as you did and create false rumors to slander others. Neither will I upload this recording onto the Internet to make it known to the public. I’ll just…” Leanna locked her phone and spoke calmly, “Send this to the boss of the company for this

advertisement that you’ve just complained about as being inferior.” Although this advertisement that Mia just participated in was not a high-end one, it was still considered to be a popular brand in the country. That was also the reason why she had put in so much effort to ingratiate herself with the company for this gig in the first place.

This time, the main reason why she was complaining about the job’s quality was that she had found herself a much more powerful support in Aidan, therefore, she was now in possession of better resources. However, if these words were to leak, then her reputation in this industry would be tarnished. It would have a huge adverse impact on her. “Leanna, you’re wicked!” She clenched her teeth. The smiling Leanna responded, “I thought that you’ve realized this before. Have I ever come across as someone who’s as kind as Mother Teresa?” “I finally understand why President Pearson’s so disgusted by you! Your actions of plotting behind one’s back are indeed extremely malicious. You deserve to be abandoned!” Meanwhile, the other woman only responded calmly, “I’ve got to remind you that you’re the one who started to plot behind my back. I was just giving you a taste of your own medicine.

Here’s another reminder, you better not cross my path again from now on. You do realize that I’m capable of forcing Aidan into marrying me, so it would be a piece of cake for me to deal with you.” After she finished those ruthless words, she was about to turn around and leave with flourish when she saw a strapping figure standing silently by the door. The person had a cold look on his expressionless face. Leanna was rendered speechless at that point. Aidan pulled his thin lips into a sneer as he voiced out coldly, “Miss McKinney, you’re so amazingly capable. Shall I give you a round of applause?”

She paused for a moment before responding, “Well… That’s not necessary.” I must be so darn unlucky! Why am I always caught red-handed by him whenever I deliver my sharp words?! She had finally

managed to shrug off the stereotypical impression he had of her by going through the divorce process but in a blink of an eye, her efforts had gone down the drain. Whatever! It doesn’t matter even if he misunderstands me. We’re divorced, so why should I care about that? “President Pearson.” Mia instantly switched to an aggrieved expression and the tears welled up in her eyes as she bit her lips.

“I’m not sure why Miss McKinney approached me in such a confronting manner. I don’t quite know in what way have I ever offended her. Miss McKinney, if you’re displeased with me in any way at all, then just tell me and I…” As Mia spoke, the tears streamed down her face and she sniffled. Aidan glanced at her from the side of his eyes and there was an indifferent look on his face. Meanwhile, Leanna looked at the despicable couple in front of her and she felt goosebumps on her arms. She was just about to leave when she heard Aidan say, “I clearly remember warning you not to come up with stupid schemes that are more see-through than a glass.” As soon as Mia heard that, she stopped sniffling instantly and the tears magically stopped while remaining stuck around her eyelashes. At that point, Leanna couldn’t help it and burst out into laughter.

It looks like Adan’s indeed a cold and unfeeling person. This guy is hopeless. She paused for a moment as she tried hard to stifle her laughter before striding off, not batting an eyelash at them. I’ll just leave them to their own performance. However, as she walked past Aidan, he grabbed hold of Leanna’s wrist and shot a look at Mia before uttering, “Get out.” Mia bit hard on her lip and nearly drew blood. She did not even get the chance to collect her belongings as she fled the dressing room. The room descended into silence as soon as the door was shut from the outside. Leanna remained silent for a moment before exhaling loudly. “I wasn’t targeting you with the words I said earlier. I just meant…” That the two of you are rubbish!!! However, he interrupted her and asked coldly, “Did you block my number?” At that point, she remained silent. He frowned. “Answer my question.”

Perplexed by his current behavior, she tried to laugh off the tension after a moment of silence. “Haha. President Pearson, you must be trying to joke around with me, huh? We’re divorced, so why should we keep each other’s contact details? Did you think we would need that so that we can make a toast at each other’s funerals?” He was rendered speechless by her words. “Besides, you’ve blocked me on WhatsApp too. So, isn’t that a clear indication that you wish to sever all ties with me?” He pursed his thin lips and thought, Every single message that she sent back then was to ask for a divorce, so of course, I was annoyed! “That’s not what I meant.” She relented quite quickly. “Okay. I’ve misunderstood you, but this isn’t a deterrent for us to block each other since we’ve actually gotten a divorce anyway. We should sever all ties and proceed with our own lives happily.” The impatient Aidan annoyingly replied, “You’ve mentioned the word ‘divorce’ repeatedly.

Is that the only thing that you care about?” She paused and reminded him gently, “President Pearson, have you forgotten that we just signed the divorce papers this morning? I still have the divorce papers in my bag.” The frown on his face deepened and his slender fingers twitched slightly. Gradually, he released his grip on her hands. Leanna lowered her eyes and glanced at her reddened wrist due to his tight grip. This b*stard! Does he think that he’s grabbing hold of a criminal? He exerted so much force! “President Pearson, if you’re done here, then I’ll leave now…” Calmly, he responded, “If you’ve regretted your decision, I can consider giving you another chance.”
