Revenge After Divorce Novel by Black Rose

OLIVIA

“You look like a queen Mrs Jones, and you move gracefully like one as well.” Brandon complemented; I didn’t know he knew who I was. I must have shown my shock because he said. “Oh, don’t be shocked, everyone here knows who you are and wondering why you and your husband came here with different dates.”

I was afraid of something like that, but Nick and I could never appear in these circles together again. “Are you one of those who are wondering, Mr Ryan?” he chuckled spinning me around. “No, I already know what happened. The moron didn’t know his wife well enough to trust her. He sent her to jail and is now jealous that I am dancing with her instead of him.”

I laughed; I should have known he was someone powerful enough to provoke Nick like that without fear of the consequences. “How do you know that I didn’t do what they say I did?” He smiled; the man was beautiful, not handsome but beautiful.”

“Because I know how to read people and you don’t look like the type who would be with a man for his money. You are a prideful woman Mrs Jones, and your husband was a fool for mistreating you like.

that.”

“Can we not talk about him, please.” He chuckled showing a dimple on his left cheek I didn’t notice before. “Alright, how about we talk about meeting each other again on Monday, my office at nine?” I raised an eyebrow. “Business?”

He gave me a mischievous smile when I asked that. “Of course, I wouldn’t dare disrespect a lady like you. I just came across your small business, and I want to support you. you never know, I might

need your help too one day.”

I chuckled shaking my head, the man was not only beautiful he was charming too. “Can I cut in?” Nick said, I didn’t even see him.oming. Brandon and I stopped dancing. “I will see you on Monday, miss Williams.” He winked at me, and I shook my head smiling.

He was working on Nick’s nerves on purpose. “Don’t smile too much, people might have the wrong idea.” I just glanced at him. I was in no mood to deal with Nick’s tantrums. “Excuse me.” I than walked away. I was not about to dance with him as If nothing was wrong.

I headed to the ladies‘ room and people kept looking at me as I passed. I walked into the bathroom and went straight to a stall. I sighed as I sat on that toilet seat. I didn’t want to use the bathroom; I just needed a break from those people.

I felt like everyone was looking at me and Nick made it worse by moving from his table to ours. Then sent Sandra away. People were already talking and what he did made it worse. Now wanting to dance with me as if we were close. He was suffocating me.

I sat there for a moment before going out and checking myself in the mirror. When I got out of the bathroom, Nick was standing there. I walked right past him. “Olivia?” he called my name, but I pretended. not to hear him as I walked back to my table.

When I got there Ethan was talking to some men and he said when I got there. “Here is the owner of the business I was telling you about. We have only worked with them for a month and already, I can see the difference. Olivia, this Mr Ryan senior, the father of the man you were dancing with earlier and his associates.”

He offered me his hand and i shook it. “Nice to meet you Olivia, I saw you met my son.” Not knowing what else to say, I nodded.

What is it with the Ryan men today, first it was your son dancing with my wife and now you are here.” Nick said as he took a seat.

I was so embarrassed by Nick that Flowered my head in s….ne. What was Mr. Ryan going to think of me now. “I would say we can tell a good thing when we see one and this wife of yours is a sight for sore eyes. “He then chuckled standing up.

“It was good to meet you Olivia, I hope to see more of you in the future and I must say. Those pictures of you I saw didn’t do you any justice Good evening.” He then walked away with Nick glaring at him. “Liv, I think it’s time we leave, don’t you think?”

I nodded standing up and picking up my bag from the table. I was grateful to Ethan for suggesting we leave because Nick was slowly. becoming a problem. “I think I will leave as well.” Ethan glared at him. “You are acting like a child.”This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

“Say that again, Ethan.” I just walked away leaving them there. I was not about to be part of another scandal. If they wanted to act like kids in front of everyone, they could do it without me there. Ethan soon caught up with me by the door just as I was about to go out.

“Sorry about that, Nick can be a pain in the ass sometimes.”

I said nothing, I didn’t want to talk about Nick.

The ride back was a silent one. “Thank you for bringing me, Ethan. I think Mr Ryan wants to do business with me. I have a meeting at his office on Monday at nine.” He nodded with a proud smile on his face. “That is good Olivia, but I don’t think you will be working with Brandon, I think you will be working with his father. He is the one managing the import export part of the business. Brandon manages the real estate.”
