Regretting Divorce

Chapter 48

RavenMoore, 

Tyler was waiting outside his establishment to receive Claire. The sight of him left her knees trembling. He was surely one of the most handsome men she had laid her eyes on. And with the three piece gray suit clinging to his body, he gave her like those fictional flawless male lead vibes. 

Claire rubbed her hands on her black skirt. She chose a formally decent attire for today. A dark blue chiffon top with a fitted skirt ending above her knees. There was also a huge bow in the front. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

She made her way towards him with a soft smile touching her lips. 

“Hi. Her voice was small and she couldn’t perceive why she was feeling this way around him. 

“Welcome to my safe haven, Mrs. Macintyre!” Her smile diminished into a scowl. 

Tyler raised his hands as he chuckled, I’m joking, I thought you need every bit of mood lift I could offer.” 

“Thank you. I’m really nervous.” She said as they went inside. 

The building was as gorgeous as from the outside. All the heads turned to see them together, Claire lowered her noticed some women whispering among themselves. 

gaze as 

She didn’t want to imagine what was being talked about. With her walking beside Tyler, her ex–husband’s arch rival, she knew she was bound to get this kind of look.

“Don’t mind people’s gaze, Claire. They’re just shocked. I would react the same way if my Ex suddenly appears in public with your ex–husband. It’s a natural reaction. She hears Tyler say as the elevator took them upwards to his cabin. 

He was right. But maybe they were judging her for all the wrong reasons. Maybe they saw her using Tyler Murphy to get back at her cheating ex–husband. 

Only she knew the reality of their rendezvous. She was trying to distract herself. Tyler was playing her mentor. But this is not how the gossipers would look at it as 

Claire trudged after him taking small steps. Her heels ticked against the marbled floor and the sound it created, it was similar to how her heart beats sounded in her ears. 

Maybe this was a bad idea. Maybe she should not have asked Tyler Murphy, majorly popular as her ex–husband’s rival, to help her. Maybe she should not have come out of the Old Murphy mansion until it was time to leave to go back to Bloomcrest. 

“Claire,” She bit back a gasp as she felt warm hands on her arms. 

When she retained her focus Tyler was giving her a tough look. A look a stern mentor would give to his mentee for having a resolve that can be easily broken by his opponents. 

“If you let others‘ opinions affect you then forget the distraction to move on.” He pointed behind him. “The people out there don’t care about your future or present. They don’t know what you suffered in the past and how intensely you suffered. They only care about their entertainment. They will talk about you as long as it satisfies their hungry imaginations and keeps them entertained.” 

“They will talk during the day and go back to bed at night carefreely without any tension or remorse. Because it’s just a means of entertainment to them which keeps them occupied in the daylight. At night they don’t care who you are and what you do. You are nobody to them. And that’s how you should treat them….. Like nobody.”

He let go of her shoulders and lowered his brows sternly as he asked, “What do you do when a person dials your number mistakenly first and then keeps bothering you after you have specified it’s a wrong number?” 

“Block them.” 

“Exactly. These people out there should be on your block list. If you don’t put them there then they will frustrate you with their constant calls to the point till you break your phone to get rid of them.” 

Tyler moved closer so he was saying it right beside her car, “But this is your life we’re talking about. Don’t let them push you to the point that you ruin yourself under the pressure of their judgment. Block them out, Claire.” 

(An hour later) 

“It feels so good to be back to work. Gosh, I didn’t realize that I missed my job so much.” Claire chirped in a delightful voice as her ocean–like eyes radiated. 

“I told you work will make things better for you.” Tyler raised his brows with a knowing grin. 

They were sitting in his cabin side by side. Tyler didn’t introduce her to the project he referred to when last time they met. Instead he showed her old projects of his company to restore her confidence and love for civil engineering, 

“I thought it’ll be hard to return to work after a two year gap. I thought I won’t remember anything. 

“But you do. And the amusing part is that your theories and answers with regards to my old projects were as accurate as my engineer’s. This shows your potential. You will do well, Claire. I trust in you.” 

Thanks. 

face heated up with shyness. She looked down while moving the strands of hair behind her car. 

“I’m still disappointed though. You didn’t have to leave your work for your marriage” Claire raised her eyes to notice him answering some mail on his laptop. 

She entwined her fingers in her lap and wetted her lips. 

“A mistake. I know. But I thought if I left work for my marriage, i’ll be easier to focus on Hunter. I was certain giving him more time and attention would heal his broken heart. What I didn’t know was… She left her words incomplete as she pressed her lips together. 

Tyler was gawking at her when she turned her face to him. Something about his gaze was staggering her. The way he looked made her shift in her seal. 

She knew it was not a discomforting gaze. There was still something about it 

“You gave your all to your marriage in these two years, didn’t you?” 

His low but deep voice made her stomach churn. She nodded hesitantly as if she was accepting to committing a particular 

crime. 

“Now I want you to give you whole to yourself. Goodbye to living your life for others. You will focus on yourself now.” 

She couldn’t take her eyes off his face. The way he put it, the way it sounded to her ears, it was all so intense. Her skin blistered with goosebumps. 

She nodded with a smile blooming on her lips. 

That’s what she was planning to do this morning when she got ready to come here- live for herself. 

“Okay, then, I think I have motivated you enough. Now you can review other projects without me sitting next to you.” Tyler

got up while taking a glance at his watch. 

“Are you going somewhere?” Claire was intimidated in an amused way while his shadow fell on her. 

He bobbed, “I have a meeting in minutes. And it’s a habit that I grab a slice of cheese cake with some coffee before I attend the meeting 

“Not a healthy habit I must say. You look fit and it’s hard to tell you consume cheese cakes on a daily basis. 

“There’s a lot about me which is hard to tell. But you’ll get the hang of it. Tyler said on his way out. 

“I don’t know what he meant by his first sentence! Claire mumbled as her eyebrows knitted together in doubt.
