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?"
"Generally speaking, when does Miss Swift leave the office every day?" Michael was most concerned that Wendy was working irregular hours.
"Miss Swift is well known throughout the company as a workaholic," the receptionist replied honestly, adding, "Recently, she had often worked through the night into early hours of the morning. Sometimes, when it's too late to go home, she would just sleep in her office.
"Also, there had been a few times when she had to be hospitalized because she had passed out from overwork..."
As she spoke, the receptionist noted a visible change in Michael's expression.
There seemed to be aura of icy chill emanating from his entire being, making him look very scary.
By then, the receptionist knew that she had blabbered something that she should not have.
To be exact, she realized that she should not have been so utterly honest with him.
