Chapter 5 âBring me a pen!â Jerome demanded.
âMr. Miller, Mr. Diego is still waiting for you to sign the contract. Time is running â Mike reminded him in a hushed voice The Miller Group had been diligently negotiating a crucial collaboration an extended period, and Mikayla nearly jeopardized it.
Jerome ignored Mikayla and hastily walked toward the exit with Mike.
âJerome!â Mikayla chased after him.
âGet her away from me!â
Several bodyguards surrounded Mikayla once Jerome gave the order.
Aware of Jeromeâs workaholic nature and the unlikelihood of him having time for a divorce today, she shouted, âSee you at City Hall tomorrow at 9:00 am!â
Jerome got into the waiting car and promptly left.
Mikayla pondered whether he would show up but quickly ascertained that he would, as Jerome was eager to be rid of her.
Mikayla felt relieved at that thought.
Back at the villa, she logged into her longâneglected email account. There were several job invitations from investment banks.
Instead of instantly trashing them like she used to she opened each one. Unfortunately, the offers had expired.
She forfeited an opportunity from a prestigious investment bank, an institution coveted by numerous financial elites, just to cater to the selfish whims of Jerome.
Filled with regret, she vowed to plan her life more meticulously to avoid being blinded by romantic relationships.
After sending out job applications Mikayla thought about the impending divorce with Jerome the next day and felt .
She shut down the computer and began packing. Once the divorce certificate was in her hands, she leave immediately.
As she was enthusiastically packing, Amy walked in.
âMadam, why are you packing? Are you going on ?â
Amy was a temporary help hired by Jerome. To prevent the staff from reporting their situation to Wanda Jerome didnât allow the household staff from the old mansion come.
Although Mikayla had a bad temper and was often troublesome in her past life, Amy had been relatively diligent in her duties.
However due to Mikaylaâs suspicion that Kylie had bribed Amy, there had been some tension.
âAmy, Iâm moving out tomorrow,â Mikayla explained. âYouâve put up with a lot from me, and I apologize for any trouble I may have caused you.â
Amy was surprised by the unexpected apology from Mikayla, who was typically resentful and irritable. She appeared to have undergone significant changes since the day she woke up following her leap off the building.
She replied, âMadam, I havenât taken anything to heart. By the way, why are you moving out?â
Mikayla said frankly, âI plan to divorce Jerome, and weâve set an appointment to finalize the procedure tomorrow.â
Amy was once again caught off guard.
Even though she had taken care of Mikayla for less than a year, she could clearly see Mikaylaâs feelings for Jerome.
Mikayla would go to great lengths to please Jerome.
Since Jerome loved art, she filled the house with famous paintings.
Since Jerome loved books, she placed them everywhere, even in the garden.
Everything from food to clothing to daily items was tailored to Jeromeâs preferences.
Yet, Mikayla was discussing divorce now.
âMadam, youâve always loved Mr. Miller. Why do you suddenly want a divorce?â Amy couldnât understand.
Mikayla smiled âLove can change, and sometimes itâs better to let each other go.â
Amy still found unbelievable was about to she in the hallway âSir youâre back. Have you eaten? I can make something .
Jerome No came to some documents â
As prepared head the study, Mikayla stopped him.
a moment.
Amy quickly saying two talk. Iâll leave.â
Once Amy was gone Jerome indifferently said, âIâm busy You better have something important âDonât worry busy and donât have time for idle talk.
Mikayla retrieved the divorce agreement from the cluttered desk and approached Jerome.
Spare me minute. Sign this agreement so we can go get the divorce certificate tomorrow.â
Jerome glanced at Mikayla. Earlier, he had overheard Amy asking Mikayla why she wanted a divorce. At first, he didnât believe Mikayla would divorce him.
But when Mikayla casually mentioned that love can change, her tone was too relaxed to be an act.
The current Mikayla holding the divorce agreement seemed calm. She was dressed casually compared to her typical polished appearance.
That made him wonder if she had truly changed. He took the divorce agreement with a mix of belief and doubt.
The contents were straightforward. Mikayla wanted nothing, just a clean break.
Her elegant signature had been penned at the bottom of the document.
â
there are no issues, go ahead and sign,â Mikayla urged.
Jerome looked into her eyes once more and asked, âAre you genuinely willing to divorce?
âOf course! The sooner, the better!â Mikayla insisted. âDo you have a pen? If not, I can get one for you!â
Jerome didnât immediately agree Instead, he returned the divorce agreement to Mikayla. âWhatâs the meaning this? Are there any other issues
