Chapter 270
Beyond the Divorce
Offering An Olive Branch Soon, the remaining patrons got their turns while I went inside with Elanor.
Kate came in to tell me that they had prepared the best masseur for us. During the massage, Eleanor and I discussed what had just happened. She smiled, and we grew closer.
Afterward, I took her to a nearby Crispy Crust. Most knew the restaurant for its pizzas, and we ate while I continuing our conversation. Eleanor told me about how she had met her boss. I knew she was capable, and I felt tempted to be on her side.
I tried probing, âWhat will you do if the bossâs wife gives you a hard time?â
âI havenât thought that far, but Iâve been involved with him for a long time. I donât want to make things awkward for my boss, but I donât want to continue life like this. Perhaps I must decide soon. Maybe Iâll leave him.â
âHave you thought it through?â I asked.
âThereâs nothing much to consider. My boss canât give me what I want, and I canât stay by his side forever. I donât want to work hard for him only to get nothing. I have my dignity.â Eleanor seemed helpless, and I knew she still felt for her boss.
âIâve done so much for him and owe him nothing. He once helped my dad when we needed money.
Still, I helped my boss expand his business.â She shook her head disappointedly.
âHe didnât even let me hold my head high when his wife came to my house. He said the cost of divorce was too high, but what about me?â
I couldnât help but sigh. It seemed men always had excuses for their selfishness. I said, âMen always have excuses. They can never stay loyal, so I can never trust them.â
Eleanor nodded, âIâve considered that for a long time. Instead of repaying a debt, I used to expect things. from him. Iâm disappointed, but he must compromise if heâs serious about us. I canât see hope from a business perspective.
Then leave him and work with me,â I offered sincerely, âYou can manage the marketing department there I realized I had underutilized Grayson by making him the marketing manager. After all, he was better at projects. Also, I didnât want him to worry about minor issues. Indeed, I lacked a capable marketing manager, and Eleanor was a perfect fit.
After all, she had exceptional experience and aggressiveness in marketing. Eleanorâs eyes lit up when she I nodded solemnly. âOf course I am. The building materials market needs a capable manager. If you decide to come, Iâll entrust it to you. If your yearâend performance is acceptable, I can even give you shares. We can discuss your salary, but Iâll offer you the standard in Foswood.â
I offered an olive branch without hesitation.
Eleanor beamed with gratitude as she nodded. âIâll consider it when I get home and call you when I decide.â
I'll be waiting for the good news!â
I didnât return to the company after saying goodbye to Eleanor. Instead, I went to pick up Ava. Sitting in the car, I couldnât help but feel Eleanor would be a perfect fit. She would have security while I can allow Grayson to assist Ryan.
After all, we only needed to manage Tanum Corporation and Hartz Construction. Since I had yet to Introduce Hartz Construction to the world, Grayson would be perfect to care for it.
Still, I had to await Eleanorâs decision since she had emotional attachments.
I began feeling tired after sitting in the car for a while. So, I exited the car and stretched before walking toward the kindergarten. Unexpectedly, Matthewâs car stopped beside me.
