Ma'am, The World Is Waiting For Your Divorce

Chapter 59

Jocelyn’s heart was as chilly as the howling north winds.

She did not expect at all that Skyler’s purpose was only to discuss their bodies and not their feelings.

Perhaps she should have understood this truth when she first offered to sign a marriage certificate with him and let him become her own retreat.

Thinking of these recent events, Jocelyn’s heart went colder, but her mind became calmer

Jocelyn was silent for several seconds. She did not get out of bed to get a drink, instead immediately turned around and laid back down. Her entire body occupied half of the big bed stiffly.

Skyler’s eyes flashed. He peeled back the quilt and laid down on the other side as if it were only natural.

The reassuring scent nearby made him fall asleep unconsciously. It was a good night’s sleep. When Skyler opened his eyes the next morning, he was still hugging Jocelyn like a satisfied cat. He opened his eyes and looked at the woman in his arms with a slightly unnatural expression

Recalling what happened last night, he carefully loosened his arms around Jocelyn, got out of bed, and went and showered.

As soon as he closed the bathroom door, Jocelyn opened her eyes.

She figured the reason why she was not angry was that even though Skyler said they had to fulfill their duties as partners, he had not forced her to do anything when they slept together for several nights.

She really just wanted to know what Skyler was trying to do.

Jocelyn got up and went directly to the bathroom in the guest room to take a shower. When she saw the familiar shampoo and shower gel in the bathroom, she was a little speechless.

Could Skyler have been using these?

When Jocelyn was done with her shower, Skyler had long left the master bedroom. She changed into her clothes to go to work.

When she went downstairs and passed by the living room, she saw Skyler eating breakfast.

She walked to the door immediately and Skyler’s gaze sunk. “Come eat!”

Jocelyn did not stop. “No need, I won’t be eating!”

The expression on Skyler’s face was a little ugly. He glared at her back but did not say a word.

He knew that he might have gone a little too far with his overbearing attitude last night, but in the end, he had not done anything to her.

Looking at the door close, he snorted coldly. He looked at the bread in his hand, he had no appetite at all.

When Jocelyn arrived at the company, she began working on a design draft.

Although no one had asked her for a design, Jocelyn had always been used to drawing when she was inspired so that she would have a larger variety of choices when she needed to use it.

About ten o’clock, Fiona went out. When she came back again, she looked elated, with Lynn following behind her.

She glanced at Jocelyn, provoking, and then turned to Lynn and said with a smile, “Miss Quirrel, we have already more or less discussed things yesterday and you’ve got a look at my preliminary design draft. We can sign a contract for customization today!” Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Lynn nodded. Her tone was soft, but her demeanor was particularly solemn. “I want to wear this jewelry to an elder’s banquet. It’s very important to me and must be designed well!” Fiona patted her chest and promised. “Don’t worry, my design will certainly satisfy you!”

The moment Fiona said this, they heard someone shouting from the front desk of the design department, “Designer White, someone is looking for you downstairs!”

Jocelyn cocked a brow, got up, and went downstairs.

Fiona gave a dismissive hum and then said to Lynn, “Miss Quirrell, let’s go to the reception room now!”

Lynn nodded and then followed Fiona to the reception room.

At the same time, downstairs.

NON

The moment Jocelyn went downstairs, she saw Zayn who was dressed casually. His face still carried the bruises from yesterday, but it did not affect his beautiful image at all. Jocelyn came forward with a smile. “Director Claude, what brings you here?” Zayn smiled and said to Jocelyn, “I hope I’m not disturbing your work!” Jocelyn shook her head and said with a smile, “No, this company usually works on high-end private customization. Since I just joined, I don’t have any customers yet!”

Zayn smiled. “That’s good then. I’m here to be your customer today!”

Jocelyn was a little surprised. “Director Claude… You… If you wish to thank me for what happened yesterday, there’s really no need for you to hire me to design your jewelry!”

Zayn shook his head. “Where are your thoughts floating to? It’s my mother’s 50th birthday in a few days. I’ve always wanted to order a set of jewelry for her. I came to you since I haven’t found a designer!”

Jocelyn was a little flattered. She did not expect that he would offer her work just because she had conveniently helped him out yesterday.

Zayn could not help laughing at Jocelyn’s dazed expression. “Miss White, do you intend to discuss this with me here?”

Jocelyn immediately shook her head. “Director Claude, this way, please. Let us head upstairs first!”

Zayn entered the elevator with Jocelyn with a smile.

This was when Jocelyn became clear about something, that Zayn had really come looking for her to hire her for a custom order.

She looked at Zayn, expression a little complicated. “Director Claude, you haven’t even seen jewelry that I’ve designed yet you immediately chose me. What if I disappoint you?” Zayn was all smiles. “Will you disappoint me?”

Jocelyn pressed her lips together. “To be honest, I’m very confident in the jewelry I designed but, everyone’s taste is different so I can’t be certain that you or your mother would like my designs!”

Zayn smirked. “I have not met such an honest person in a long time. Don’t you worry, I came looking for you because I can bring myself to trust you. I trust in your ability and also in your character. I can rest easy with your designs!’

Zayn’s words were like a shot in Jocelyn’s heart. She looked at Zayn seriously and said, “Director Claude, rest assured, I will certainly satisfy you!”

Zayn glanced at her and said, “I’m looking forward to it!”

–

When Jocelyn and Zayn entered the design department office, Fiona had just come up with a preliminary contract in the reception room and was planning to sign it with Lynn. When Lynn opened the contract, she heard Fiona’s assistant whispering, “Fiona, Jocelyn brought a handsome man in!”

Through the glass of the meeting room, Fiona saw the man beside Jocelyn with a glance. She could not help frowning. Before she could even respond, Lynn stood up and threw the contract on the table.

Her expression was one of surprise and panic. “Designer Payne, please excuse me but I saw someone I need to talk with!” Having said that, Lynn hurriedly walked out.
