Chapter 277
Beyond the Divorce
Foswoodâs Woman in Power I had never met Laurenâs date but was familiar with his appearance. Still, I wasnât the only one. Most in Foswood should be familiar with him because he was always on TV. It was easy to search for someone. online now, not to mention someone famous.
Lauren continued as we entered my car, âHe has been considerate toward me, and Iâm content. People should be grateful for what they have. We distanced ourselves from each other after the incident with Matthew.
âSoon after, we realized we couldnât live without each other. Even though we get what we need, perhaps.
this is how our relationship is supposed to be.â
I felt guilty when she mentioned her situation with Matthew. Her reputation wouldâve remained intact if I didnât meddle. Still, I never expected Lauren and I to be so close.
âIndeed, itâs rare that heâs loyal to you, butâ¦â I began.
âItâs okay this way. If love were to last long, it wouldnât be interesting. Haha! Plus, itâs better not to be together constantly. Otherwise, the relationship loses its charm, Lauren shared her perspective candidly.
We chuckled, and she looked at me, saying, âAtias differs from him. Men come in different grades, and.
Atlas is at the top. Donât listen to Ivannaâs nonsense. Youâre not someone who settles for an ordinary life.â
âWhat kind of person am I, then?â I asked casually.
âYouâre a successful woman. Thatâs why Ryan isnât a suitable match for you. Only someone like Atlas cant be beside you!â Lauren declared.
I glanced sidelong at her and couldnât help but laugh. âI didnât think youâd have such a high opinion of me.
What made you think Iâm successful?
âHaha! Iâve met countless people and can see through them at a glance!â Lauren confidently patted her chest and said, âAlthough you may encounter some obstacles in your relationship with him, itâll work out in the end.
Have you become halfâimmortal or something? Did God possess you?â I teased.
Do you know why I said that?â she asked.
share a common trait. You both have clear goals!â
I didnât understand what Lauren meant by âclear goals,â but I had always wondered why Atlas chose me âBy the way, do you know Mia Morgan?â I suddenly remembered that cold and distant woman.
âMia Morgan?â Lauren looked at me, slightly surprised. âHow do you know her?â
âShe was at the spa yesterday and even took my side against Liora,â I said. âShe was cold and unrelenting âOh! Sheâs Arthur Morganâs daughter!â Lauren answered with certainty.
I was stunned. âMia is Arthurâs daughter? Heâs a big shot in Foswood. No wonder sheâs so arrogant.
But it seems like Liora doesnât know her.â
Lauren, the celebrity encyclopedia, said, âWho do you think Liora is? Besides, Mia is pretty discreet.â
âSo thatâs why she sat among the crowd unassumingly. I didnât realize she was such a big deal.â I was genuinely impressed.
âOh, whatâs this fragrance in your car?â Lauren suddenly asked, even deliberately sniffing it several times.
âIt was a gift from Stella for the New Year,â I replied. Lauren took it, sniffed it, and commented, âIt smells like essential oils. It doesnât smell like ordinary car air freshener, but the scent is lovely.â
âYou can have it if you like it that much,â I casually offered, âDonât⦠It was a gift for you. You canât just give it to someone else,â Lauren said, putting it back.
Soon after, we arrived at Ivannaâs company building. I called her, then we went to Crispy Crust.
Surprisingly, the food there was fantastic.
Ivanna complained about Harmony during the meal, saying she behaved arrogantly and insisted on taking leave to visit Jitador, âSheâs lost her mind Ivanna exclaimed, âHer irresponsibility is harming the company and me. We had Tready set the schedules, yet she canceled them. Thatâs a breach of contract. Why does she want to ruin everything for herself?!â
knew Ivanna was upset. Suddenly, she turned to me and said, âDid you know sheâll be your neighbor
