Divorce Has Never Felt This Good

Chapter 103

After the viral news about Rory was quickly silenced, the issue soon died down. That Sunday, Becky decided to stay home and relax. Later in the afternoon, Jessie called to ask if she wanted to have a drink in Louisa’s bar that night.

Not wanting to go out, Becky refused. She went to bed early that night and woke up before the sun rose the following day.

It was still early. When Becky parted the curtains, it was still dark out.

She picked up her phone and checked her schedule for the day. There were a lot of things to do. She had two meetings in the morning and a lunch party at noon.

She sighed slightly. She had a full day ahead of her.

It was rare for Becky to get up so early, so she made the most of it and made herself a hearty breakfast. By the time she made it to the office, it was only eight forty-five.

Talia had just arrived as well and the two met at the elevator in the parking lot. “Good morning, Miss Ramos.”

Becky nodded with a smile. “Good morning, Talia.”

Although Talia technically worked for Stevie, she was a qualified secretary to Becky.

Elvin tried to call Becky the previous Saturday when it was revealed that she was Steve’s daughter, but she didn’t answer.

When Becky arrived at her floor, Elvin was walking over from the other end of the corridor. The second he saw Becky, his body obviously stiffened.

He always thought that Becky was just some bigwig’s mistress, which would’ve explained how she suddenly became the manager of Fairway Group. He had no idea that she was in fact Stevie’s only daughter. Not only Fairway Group but also Harvester Group would be hers in the future.

Elvin had been making things difficult for her since Becky joined the company. Now that he knew who she was, he hadn’t slept in two nights, wrought with anxiety.

He had planned to ask Becky out on Saturday to try to curry favor with her, but Becky didn’t answer his calls. Now he was very nervous to see her in the flesh.

“Good morning.”

Despite his nervousness, Elvin was still a sophisticated man. He managed to greet her without betraying his true emotions.

Becky looked at him with a faint smile and replied, “Good morning.”

Elvin nodded and strode into the meeting room first.

Now that it was known to all that she was Steve’s daughter, their usual Monday meeting became a bit more interesting.

Becky found it interesting that Elvin constantly complimented her, claiming that she was promising and full of potential.

Elvin had held his position for over twenty years, and the employees always tried to stay on his good side. Now, he found it hard to find the words to flatter Becky.

He couldn’t treat her as he did before because Becky’s status was higher than his. But he was used to being at the top of the hierarchy and he found it hard to suck up to her. The atmosphere was a little awkward.

Becky looked at Elvin and smiled. “Thank you for your praise.”

Her casual words were like a slap in Elvin’s face.

The morning meeting ended with a tense and awkward atmosphere. Then, it was time for Becky’s second morning meeting, which was about the project in the East Village.

Although it was a smaller meeting, it turned out to be quite lengthy because they had changed the plan. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

It was almost twelve o’clock when the meeting ended. If it weren’t for the fact that Becky needed to go to a lunch appointment at half past twelve, it might’ve lasted even longer.

After everyone else left, Becky fixed her makeup and was about to leave for the hotel.

As soon as she was ready to go, Talia knocked on the door and said, “Miss Ramos, Denise Casper is here.”

At the mention of that name, Becky raised her eyebrows. “What is she doing here?”

Talia bit her lip and said, “I think she’s here to apologize to you.”

Becky smirked. “Tsk. I won’t see her.”

She didn’t want Denise to spoil her mood.
