Beyond the Divorce

Chapter 388 A Trap Lies Ahead
I glanced at them triumphantly and dropped my smile as I turned and left. I felt a deep sense of pain and
blamed myself for being forceful.
I laughed at myself and felt exhausted. I gritted my teeth as I entered the room. I took a deep breath, not wanting anyone to see
me so miserable. As I composed myself, Hana approached and handed me her
tablet.
She glanced at it and shook her head helplessly. She seemed to be speechless about something. I swiped through a few times
and then looked at her. “Can you sort out this information if I call for a meeting now?”
“Yes,” she replied confidently. 1

“How long do you need?” I asked. I didn’t want to on this issue. Engaging with them
would only ruin my mood, and I had more important things to do.
“Not long. Anywhere with a computer will do,” Hana said, her confident look making me feel comfortable.
I thought even women could be charming and capable.
I nodded approvingly. “Good. Ask Harmony if she has other requirements. Double–check with her if you got all of her
suggestions. I’ll deal with her today.”
Hana was astute when she heard my words. She smiled, saying, “I know what you mean.”
My impression of Hana was excellent. The first time she came to my office, I felt an inexplicable
closeness to her. It felt like she was a long–lost sister. I wanted to get to know her more, but she was
from Yare, and we didn’t have much in common.

Sometimes, I mocked myself, wondering if I was too kind or lonely. Whenever I saw a kind and beautiful person, I felt close to
them. Upon calming down, I realized that wasn’t the case for everyone.
For example, my closeness to Atlas and Hana was inexplicably intense. However, my feelings for the two differed. I felt like I had
known Atlas for a long time. I always had a lingering affection for him.
Meanwhile, I felt close to Hana in a family sense. Perhaps it was because she was beautiful and did what
I had longed to do.

I wanted to be a designer when I was younger. However, it didn’t happen because I got married after
college. Moreover, I married such a vile man.
While thinking, I didn’t notice Harmony entering as she held Atlas’s arm. She expressed her liking for the
place, hinting at her desire for Atlas to purchase it.
Still, Atlas hadn’t made any commitments, and I silently cursed him for being stingy. After all, Harmony accompanied him
everywhere. Atlas should have rewarded her for her loyalty.
I didn’t want to engage with them further, so I approached Ivanna. She was chatting with ATL Empire’s project manager. When
they turned to look at me, Ivanna asked, “Ms. Chloe, the interior is luxurious. Your company’s designs have significantly
progressed; it’s now on an international standard.”
“Of course. I have internationally renowned designers this time. Tanum Corporation will take the high–end
route. We can’t always rely on local designers. After all, their perspectives aren’t inclusive.
“I’ve selected a few award–winning designers like Hana. I’ll train and bring the team to another level.”
I took the opportunity to show off to ATL Empire’s project manager.
Eloise sneered and rolled her eyes. “I think you should expand your company before saying all that. No
matter how famous your designers are, a small company like yours is still nothing.”

Ivanna’s expression turned solemn. I grabbed her and urged her not to argue. After all, Eloise had no right to comment on the
size of my company. I didn’t want Ivanna to conflict with her, Eloise was just a pile of shit. Stepping on her would be disgusting.
“Ms. Eloise, you’re right. Your current position suits you perfectly now. You’re an excellent fit for a celebrity manager.” I smiled
wickedly.
Eloise glared at me.
