After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back

It sounded so much like Jolie!
The thought stunned Rosalie.
Jolie had a boyfriend, and she got sent abroad because of him. How could she possibly be in contact with Gavin, let alone on a
video call with him?
Still, an uneasy suspicion gnawed at Rosalie. If she could just take one glance at the woman in Gavin's video call, she could put
her mind at ease. Gathering her courage, Rosalie lifted her head and looked in Gavin's direction, her gaze fixed on his phone.
The next second, a figure stepped in front of her-Gavin's assistant. With a cold stare, he blocked her view.
Startled, Rosalie's face turned pale.
By now, Gavin had already entered his office.
The assistant looked at Rosalie, his voice icy. "What are you trying to do?"
"I-I..." Rosalie hadn't expected to be caught so quickly. Her heart leapt into her throat as she scrambled for an excuse. "I just
wanted to check if Mr. Cooper needed anything."
"That's not your job," the assistant replied firmly. "You may be the CEO's secretary, but I'm your direct supervisor. All of your

tasks go through me, and I won't tolerate any inappropriate thoughts from my team. Do you understand?" He'd reprimanded her
openly, right in front of everyone!
Rosalie could feel the weight of the stares around her-some disdainful, some mocking. Her humiliation was unbearable.
"I understand," she muttered, her head bowed in shame and anger.
The assistant didn't say anything more and walked away to resume his work.
Rosalie returned to her desk, her eyes filled with determination. She had to find out who that woman was in Gavin's video call.
Only then could she prepare herself.
...

Jolie lounged lazily on the couch, hugging a plush bunny. She absentmindedly played with its ears while watching the man on
her screen. His handsome, composed, and mature features seemed more pleasing to the eye than before. Ahem...
She realized her thoughts were treading into dangerous territory, but it was the truth. She saw no reason to deny it.
"By the way, my mom is heading to Francia in three days to visit me. You need to get me there quickly, she'll figure everything
out," Jolie said, suddenly remembering
Selena's warning and spea urgency.
Gavin leaned back in his leather chair, holding his phone in one hand while taking a sip of coffee with the other. In a calm tone,

he said, "If she finds out, it wouldn't be so bad At least you'd stop lying. You know, once you start lying, it takes
countless more lies to keep it going."
Jolie was speechless.
Was he seriously giving her a lecture?
Of course, she knew that!
If she didn't understand, she wouldn't have gotten involved with him in the first place!
Hmph!
Looking at the screen, where the beautiful girl now appeared slightly puffed-up with frustration, Gavin's gaze softened. "I'll let you
know when I'm back tonight."
"That won't work," Jolie replied firmly. "You have to tell me now, or I won't let you in later."
Gavin raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure about that?"
She didn't seem to realize that her entire trip to Francia rested solely in his hands.
"Absolutely!" Jolie declared, staring at him. "So, when are we leaving?"
Watching her spoiled and defiant expression, something inside Gavin unexpectedly softened. He had initially planned to
approach this with the same strategies he used in high-stakes negotiations, but seeing her like this, he realized none of that

mattered.
"Tonight's flight," he said at last.
In truth, he had already arranged everything but hadn't told her yet.
Hearing this, Jolie's eyes lit up instantly, and a bright smile spread across her face.
