Chapter 3 No Desire to Renew the Contract

The night was long.

Ranita waited all night, but Brendon didn't come back.

As dawn approached, she was woken up by her alarm clock after a brief nap.

She got ready quickly and put on her professional suit. To look better, she even put on somemakeup before rushing to Stuart's Corp.

The project meeting with Nemotube Shipping Company went smoothly enough, but the intenseconcentration made Ranita's head ache a little bit. And for some reason today, she feltuncomfortable in her stomach.

“Mr. Stuart, I have already organized the content of the meeting.” Ranita placed the documents onhis desk and looked at his thin lips.

It's said that people with thin lips are cold-hearted.

Brendon was indeed cold-hearted; that was why Ranita envied Shannon who could get tendernessfrom him.

“I have highlighted what needs special attention," said Ranita as she withdrew her gaze and took afew steps back to create some distance between them.

She was standing upright in her professional attire, which gave her more of an aggressive edge tharwhen she was submissive at home.

But no matter how different Ranita appeared in Brendon's eyes, it didn't matter much to him.

“I know. We need to entertain Mr. Bassett tonight for dinner and you need to attend,” said Brendonas he flipped through the files without looking up from them.

Ranita was an excellent translator who could convert any sharp language into somethingappropriate for any occasion, which impressed Brendon greatly.

"Okay." Nodded Ranita before pausing briefly then pursing her lips as if hesitant before asking, "MrStuart, there is one more thing... I want to talk about it with you."

"What is it?" asked Brendon without lifting his eyes from the file again.

Ranita noticed his golden short hair spiraling upwards along with his full forehead while speakingsoftly, "After this project ends with Nemotube, I hope not to renew my contract anymore.”

Ranita had opened a translation studio herself where Brendon signed a three-year contract allowingher expertise in overseas projects as their simultaneous interpreter, but their marriage had ended scshould their work involvement too?

"Not renew your contract?” questioned Brendon seeming confused by such an immature decisionbeing presented by someone like Ranita. That caused him slight frown lines across his forehead,"Working together with Stuart's Corp will only benefit your studio.”

Of course, Ranita knew that this decision would not be friendly towards her studio. But since theywere starting to cut off this relationship, she did not want to get too close again! The human heart idifficult to control, and she was already deeply trapped in the quagmire. She did not want to go anyfurther and fall into the abyss of no return!

Loving Brendon, in itself, was a mistake.

Ranita remained silent for a long time. Finally, Brendon looked up at her with his sharp andindifferent eyes. He leaned back on the chair and spoke casually,

“Ranita, you're very professional and have good judgment when it comes to work. Our personalaffairs shouldn't affect our job." After pausing for a moment, Brendon took out the contract renewaagreement from his drawer without giving Ranita any room to refuse like he did last night. "I don'twant to hear this kind of talk again. You can leave now."

"Brendon..." Ranita was getting anxious but before she could finish her sentence, the door of thenearby lounge opened and a slender woman called out softly to Brendon, "Brendon!"

"I didn't interrupt your conversation with each other?" The woman who entered smelled sweetly ofperfume like a beautiful butterfly passing by.

Ranita had seen her on TV before - Shannon - the famous cellist who had been making waves inrecent years and also happened to be Brendon's sweetheart.
