Unwanted Marriage: Honey, No More Divorce!
After three years of marriage, Wendy Stewart was used to Michael Lucas's sarcastic remarks, his frequent threats about getting divorced, and even his indulgence of a mistress. She thought that she could bear with this her entire life, until she accidentally got pregnant with a child that Michael did not want. Finally despondent, Wendy signed the divorce agreement and left. She thought they could have parted ways forever, but Michael refused to stop looking for her after the divorce. When they met again, she was the world's top designer. Smiling sweetly at her ex-husband, she said, "My dear, we're already divorced." Michael simply stared at her coldly, "Tell me, what will it take for us to reconcile?"
Following Her
Over the cell phone, Wendy could hear the fear in Michael's voice. Fear? Fear that Wendy would take Jake away? Wendy found that amusing. Didn't he have a new love, Yonina Collins?
He was probably more afraid of losing his son. Wendy took a deep breath. "Mr. Lucas, I am calling to request for my leave. I don't think it is appropriate of you to ask about my personal matters." She kept her tone cold and distant. Wendy's reply made Michael's heart panic more.
He gripped his cell phone. "What if I do not approve?" he asked, breathing heavily.
"You should be clear that I am working with MC Enterprise as a partner. Technically, I am not one of your employees. Even if you do not approve, I can still leave," Wendy replied. "Of course, you may take it as I am slacking off work. It is up to you."
There was silence on the other end of the line. Michael did not make a sound. Wendy did not say anymore and simply hung up.
