Chapter 3

I was about to turn off my phone when Amber's call suddenly came through, her voice tinged with excitement: "I've sent you the address. I'll pick you up later. There's a surprise for you."

A sarcastic smile tugged at my lips. I've had quite enough of her "surprises."

Before I could say no, she had already hung up.

It's strange indeed that she remembered to unblock me right before the divorce.

I had just finished taking my medicine when Amber's car roared to a stop downstairs.

After receiving her message, I went out in my loungewear.

As soon as I got in the car, Amber's smile froze upon seeing my scruffy face, as if she had swallowed a fly.

"Why didn't you shave or change your clothes? You're embarrassing me. Are you deliberately trying to upset me?" Her tone was full of reproach.

At that moment, Jack poked his head out from the passenger seat, dressed in a flashy suit, looking innocent: "Oh, I'm sorry, bro-in-law. I forgot to notify you... and couldn't get through on the phone."

I shrugged and smiled, "It's fine. A man's dignity isn't built on a woman's approval."

I deliberately glanced at Jack, "Besides, with such a capable secretary, Amber's reputation is already secure."

Amber was left speechless by my retort. I couldn't be bothered with her and sat directly in the back seat.

Throughout the journey, Jack chattered non-stop about the birthday party and how impressive Amber was. His tone was full of boasting and provocation towards me.

I couldn't care less and treated him like thin air.

At the hotel, Jack naturally walked to Amber's side, while I followed behind.

At the elevator, the company staff were waiting. As soon as they saw Amber and Jack, the atmosphere became awkward.

Mike quickly came forward to smooth things over.

As soon as Mike saw me enter, he enthusiastically greeted me: "Oh, Ryan, you're finally here! We couldn't have landed this project without your skills! The entire company owes you a debt of gratitude today!"

Hearing this warmed my heart, and I smiled, waving my hand: "Mike, you're too kind. All this 'bro' talk feels strange. Who knows, when I return from abroad, I might bring back a new title, but that's still up in the air."

I responded with a smile, knowing he was trying to help me.

But as soon as I said this, Amber's face changed. She suddenly turned and stared at me: "What do you mean abroad? You're going overseas? How come I don't know about this? Did I agree to this?"

That look in her eyes, as if I were a stranger who had suddenly appeared.

I smiled calmly, offering no explanation. In my mind, I thought: This divorce is definitely happening.
