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

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, “What will you do if the boss’s wife gives you a hard time?”

“I haven’t thought that far, but I’ve been involved with him for a long time. I don’t want to make things awkward for my boss, but I don’t want to continue life like this. Perhaps I must decide soon. Maybe I’ll

leave him.”

“Have you thought it through?” I asked.

“There’s nothing much to consider. My boss can’t give me what I want, and I can’t stay by his side forever. I don’t want to work hard for him only to get nothing. I have my dignity.” Eleanor seemed helpless, and I

knew she still felt for her boss.

“I’ve 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.” She shook her head disappointedly.

“He didn’t 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?”

After all, she had exceptional experience and aggressiveness in marketing. Eleanor’s eyes lit up when she

I nodded solemnly. “Of course I am. The building materials market needs a capable manager. If you decide to come, I’ll entrust it to you. If your year–end performance is acceptable, I can even give you shares. We can discuss your salary, but I’ll offer you the standard in Foswood.” This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

I offered an olive branch without hesitation.

Eleanor beamed with gratitude as she nodded. “I’ll consider it when I get home and call you when I

decide.”

I'll be waiting for the good news!”

I didn’t return to the company after saying goodbye to Eleanor. Instead, I went to pick up Ava. Sitting in the car, I couldn’t 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.
