After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas)
Divorced 43

Chapter 43

Aveline wasn't concerned about when Lucas was there to give her the coat; she immediately ran towards Henry.

"Mr. Brighton, I'm sorry, just give me one minute. After that, your can decide if you want to hear more."

Henry looked at the girl standing in front of him, feeling she seemed familiar. Seeing her face pale from the cold, he finally stopped. "Alright, one minute."

However, he wasn't overly kind, so he lifted his wristwatch and started timing.

Aveline took a deep breath and began explaining her ideas and thoughts.

Time passed slowly...

At some point, Henry stopped checking his watch and watched Aveline with interest instead.

When she finally stopped, she smiled apologetically. "Sorry, I got a bit carried away and went over time..."

Ten minutes had passed. She had only covered the key points; explaining the entire plan and concept would take a whole morning.

Henry nodded approvingly. "Your ideas are indeed impressive."

Aveline bowed to him. "Thank you for giving me this opportunity. I hope you'll reconsider the partnership. After all, something genuine is always better than something stolen."

"Hahaha!"

Henry laughed heartily. "Well said. I like your personality. You're very talented. Have you ever thought about working with us?"

Aveline was stunned. "Mr. Brighton, if I leave now, I'll be blamed for everything. I don't want to bring that stigma to your company."

Henry nodded. "Good thinking. Go back and wait for my response."

Aveline nodded. "Alright, I won't take up any more of your time. Enjoy the sunrise."

She turned and left, exhaling deeply.

This hurdle, if nothing unexpected happened, should be cleared.

Aveline wrapped Lucas's coat tighter around herself, shivering as the cold finally hit her.

After breakfast, the cruise ship would return to port.

Aveline looked at the coat in her hands, her eyes filled with bitterness and her face pale. She slowly sipped her hot water.

It was getting harder for her to understand Lucas.

When the ship docked, Aveline left immediately, not even bothering to claim her pay. She just wanted to get back to the company and wait for Henry's response.

As soon as Aveline returned, the receptionist called out to her.

Aveline walked over and asked, "What's up?"

The receptionist said, "You have a call."

Aveline picked up the phone, "Hello, this is Aveline Young."

"I'm Mr. Brighton's assistant. Are you free at the moment? I'd like to discuss the collaboration."

Aveline's eyes lit up. "Yes, I'm free!"

She hung up the phone, grabbed the contract, and headed straight to Brighton Enterprises.

The collaboration was successfully finalized, lifting a weight off Aveline's mind. When she returned to the company and stood in front of the elevator, a cold glint appeared in her beautiful eyes.

It had been three days, and Aveline still hadn't provided a good solution. She hadn't even shown up for three days straight.

The project team was in a panic. Someone said, "Do you think Miss Young might have run away?"

"She's really despicable! She stole so many days of our hard work. Who knows how much the other side paid her? How can she spend that money without feeling guilty?"

"Whether I feel guilty or not is another matter. But accusing me.

without evidence and even insulting me is quite unreasonable, don't you think?"

As soon as the person finished speaking, Aveline's voice, tinged with coldness, rang out.
