Billionaire Ex-wife: I Can't Live Without You

The room grew tense as the employee remained silent, wary of the consequences of his words.

He had the misfortune of discussing these observations just as Kyson walked past him, pulling him into this precarious report.

Silence enveloped the office.

Kysons unreadable face made it impossible to guess his thoughts.

After a heavy pause, he dismissed the employee with a frosty command.

Leave.

With a shaky exhale, the employee hurried out, nearly collapsing once he passed the threshold. Back inside, Kyson ordered the surveillance recordings from logistics to be transferred to his computer.noveldrama

Kyson watched Dulcie from his screen as she focused intently on her work, surrounded by a chaos of crumpled papers.

Gossip always found its way to everyone in the company, including him.

Dulcie must be aware of it, too.

Kyson wondered why she hadnt brought up any of these whispers with him.

Did she relish being at the heart of such tales? A twinge of discomfort crossed Kyson as he pondered.

He reached for the internal phone and called Kurt into his office.

When Kurt appeared, his unease was palpable.

Shaw? he asked tentatively.

With a sharp pull at his tie, Kysons response was icy.

Reduce your interactions with Dulcie.

Assign your work involving her to others.

Kurt nodded, understanding the weight of the rumors that had seeped into the workplace.

Without Kysons assignments, Kurt would never dare to approach Dulcie on his own, even if he were far braver.

Im responsible for her being embroiled in these rumors, Kurt admitted, and Im ready for any consequences. Leave.

Kyson dismissed him curtly, not intending to punish him, which allowed Kurt to exit with a relieved breath.

At days end, as Dulcie was organizing her belongings to leave, her phone vibrated.

A message from Kyson caused her heart to skip.

Are you still there? Lets go home together.

The invitation caught her off guard.

Recently, she had been commuting by bus and taxi, stopping near the Shaw residence and walking from there, claiming it was for exercise whenever Sally inquired.
