Chapter 337
Chapter 337
Josephine was opportunistic, she wouldn’t do anything that didn’t benefit her.
Besides, she was finding it harder and harder to understand Xavier lately, and she didn’t know if helping Claude Steele would cross Xavier’s line.
“Assistant Claude, what will you be doing in HR? If the pay is the same, maybe Mr. Beltran was just angry for a moment and will transfer you back to his side later.”
“After all, you’ve been with him for many years. He trusts you a lot.”
Claude Steele said in frustration, “Mr. Beltran didn’t say what I’m supposed to do in HR, and he didn’t give me a position. The people in HR will definitely think I made a mistake. Mr. Beltran is just leaving me there to dry, so they’ll surely make me do odd jobs.”
Josephine hesitated for a moment. She didn’t want to offend Claude Steele right now, since he might get back to Xavier’s side someday.
“Alright, the next time I have dinner with Xav, I’ll put in a good word for you.”
That’s what she said, but Josephine had no intention of pleading for him. But if she didn’t, it’s not like Claude Steele would ever know.
“Assistant Claude, so who’s taking over your job now?”
Hearing this, Claude Steele became wary.
Is Josephine trying to win over the new special assistant?
“I don’t know yet. Mr. Beltran has so many assistants and secretaries, he doesn’t necessarily need to appoint a special assistant.”
But Josephine didn’t believe him. Even presidents of small companies need special assistants, let alone the president of a huge corporation like Xavier.
It didn’t matter if Claude Steele wouldn’t tell her; she could ask Gerald.
In the office, Xavier sulked with a cold expression for a while, then picked up his phone and sent a message to Aveline,
【I’ve transferred Claude Steele out of the Executive Office. He’s no longer my special assistant.】

Aveline had just gotten off work and returned to the hotel. She was going to a restaurant for lunch with Jasmine and Julian.
After sitting down at the table, she finally took out her phone to look. A smirk appeared on her lips as she replied:
You didn’t fire him? You’re really something.]
Xavier had thought she wouldn’t reply, as usual. He was naturally happy when she did, but his face fell when he saw the content,
【Claude Steele has been with me for several years. I can’t just fire him on a whim.】
Aveline scoffed and ignored him.
Xavier waited for a while. Seeing no reply from Aveline, he tapped his fingers on the desk, thought for a moment, and asked her,
【If I fire Claude Steele, will you withdraw the divorce petition and not divorce me?】
Seeing that Xavier still didn’t realize why she wanted a divorce and was still testing her with such questions, Aveline felt he was a lost cause.
She had no intention of replying to a hopeless man.
She didn’t reply, but Xavier didn’t give up. 【Aveline, you saw the video. You know there’s nothing between me and Josephine. Isn’t it time to face our real problems?】
【Let’s go talk to a professional therapist.】
[You find one. You decide who’s good.】
[We can’t get a divorce. The Patriarch won’t agree, and neither will I.]
Aveline was eating when her phone rang. Both Jasmine and Julian looked over at her curiously.
She picked up her phone and muted it.
Then she sent a text to warn Xavier, [If you text me again to harass me, I’ll block you.]
If the divorce wasn’t still pending, and if she wasn’t the lead architect for the’s Mount Ardwood theme park, she really would have blocked him.
Xavier: [If you block me, I’ll have to complain to Bernard that the architect he recommended is incompetent and emotionally unstable. [
