Alexis was surprised that Anika had shown up at her office unexpectedly⦠She didnât want to deal with Anika, since she and Leonel were divorced.
It was Leonelâs issue to handle Anika.
However, thinking it over, she decided, âYes, please show her in Her assistant responded softly, âUnderstood.
â
Soon after, Anika walked into the office.
As the assistant hesitated over whether to offer coffee to the visitor, Alexis said, âThatâll be all, thank you.
Could you close the door on your way out?â
Once the assistant had left, Alexis stared directly at Anika.
Anika looked around the opulent office without showing much concern.
After all, Alexis had always lived in luxury.
With her back against the door, Anika started reluctantly, âLeonel and Iâ¦â
Before Anika could continue, Alexis cut her off.
âIâm not interested in your story with Leonel.
If you feel let down by him, you should look for him instead of bothering me, donât you think? I have nothing to do with him after our divorce!â
In contrast to her composed demeanor, Anika was quite emotional.
Anika laughed softly.
âDivorced? Really? You two may not be together anymore, but Leonel still shows up at your house every week
under the guise of picking up the kids.
Heâs obviously here to see you, Miss Fowler.
You canât deny that, can you?â
Upon hearing this, Alexis leaned back in her leather chair.
She observed Anikaâs face for a moment, then responded calmly, âYou should have a talk with him.
Itâs between you two.
â
Anikaâs discomfort grew as she noted Alexisâs nonchalant attitude.
What the hell? How could Alexis remain so unaffected?
She managed to separate them, yet Alexis seemed utterly undisturbed even now.
Trying to maintain her composure, Anika said evenly, âHe wonât even see me! Thatâs why I had to come to you.
â
Hearing her words, Alexis couldnât believe how absurd it sounded.
She remained silent and asked the assistant to escort Anika out.
Reluctantly, Anika had no choice but to leave.
The next day, as Leonel arrived to pick up the children, Alexis was home too.
It was a sunny day.
Dressed in a floral dress, she was engrossed in a journal, likely about legal disputes, on the sofa.
She was so focused that she didnât notice Leonel enter.
The house was quiet, the children still upstairs, allowing Leonel to sit down across from her and ask softly, âWhy didnât you go out today? Werenât you supposed to meet Timmy?â
His voice carried a touch of jealousy.
Setting the journal aside, Alexis looked up at him and said after a pause, âIâve actually been waiting for you.
â
She had been waiting for him?
