Chapter123.

His gaze fell upon the divorce agreement, signed by both of them. He stared at the date, his head shaking slowly, a gesture wracked with heartache.

The door was suddenly battered by heavy pounding.”Mr. Pearson! What should we do now? What about the company’s annual meeting? What about the news online? The whole world knows you betrayed Ms. Perez! How could you be with Caitlyn?”
