008 Divorce

Repeated again in a difficult tone. Zack felt his body afflicted with allergies.

"Aimee?"

Felt his neck tense and displeased. Zack's face was getting worse.

Lisa asked a question nervously.

"You don't look happy to meet her. Did that woman bother you, sir?" Lisa asked, trying to be polite.

However, just asking like that actually was actually already impolite. Because this problem was not her business as a secretary.

But Lisa couldn't resist the urge to ask.

"I can judge her performance which may not be as good as our expectations. But, your expression is much more shocking."

It was always no surprise that Lisa was good at understanding Zack's moods.

Been working with him for a very long time. Since Empires Mad just built and grew from zero.

Lisa was the only secretary Zack had and trusted.

Zack rarely hid secrets from her.

"She is my ex-wife. Aimee. Adistyra Miolla Ongbani. A woman who is also called Aimee because of her unique name."

Zack's thoughts drifted deep into their past.

###

"Let's get a divorce!" Aimee said very confidently and firmly.

Zack looked at that face with a tired and disinterested look. Was already able to predict this possibility and that day would come.

Zack gave a cold reply.

"Do you want to divorce me?"

She nodded and handed him the divorce papers. Zack, who was surprised by Aimee's readiness, stared blankly at their divorce papers.

"So this is why you often go out of the house and ignore my words? Constantly provoke my emotions and act as you please. Because you want to divorce me. Therefore, you were looking forward to this day?"

Hadn't moved to read or sign a divorce letter, the contents of which were definitely the same as divorce papers in general. And only a matter of name and distribution of assets that distinguished the contents of the letter.

Aimee didn't move back.

"Whatever you think. Because this divorce is also what you proposed!"

###

The sound of Lisa's call interrupted Zack's thoughts.

"...Boss?"

"Do you still listen to me? And are you all right?" Lisa asked.

Confused for a moment to see Zack's unusual reaction. Lisa knew that Aimee was the one who influenced him.

"Yes, Lisa. I heard you and where were we?" Zack replied flatly.

Lisa sighed quietly.

"Until you mentioned your ex-wife's name."

Lisa showed a disappointed and sympathetic expression.

"I know your marriage didn't go well. But, how could your ex-wife be Mr. Alfiano's secretary, Sir? And she will also take care of the 'Deluxe Project'. You will definitely see her often," said Lisa.

Stared deep and worried about a few things. Lisa asked again.

"Is everything going to be all right? And you can handle it?" Lisa asked.

Stared casually and neutral again. Zack found something wrong with Lisa's question.

"Of course I'll be fine. So, who can make me uncomfortable? When our relationship is now just a memory and won't have an impact on work?"

Lisa showed a not-too-sure look. But didn't try to convey it.

"I hope so, Sir. And after this, you have to return to the big madam's house. She was waiting for you and will surely vent her anger as usual. I hope you're okay."

Zack's expression turned annoyed. No less upset when he met his ex-wife again.

Half an hour passed and Zack finally arrived at his mother's house. Didn't seem happy to have to visit Devinna. But at least once a month, he had to go home to check on his mother's condition.

Not because his mother was sick or in trouble.

"Zack!! You're finally home and able to see your mother?" welcomed Devinna cheerfully. Either with deep sincerity or just small talk.

The crucial problem that required Zack to come home was his mother's whimpering. Didn't want to meet Devinna because her temper was very troublesome.

After this, Devinna will definitely immediately mention her main purpose of welcoming Zack without pause.

"I know you want to manage our family's economy very well. Record all expenses and income neatly. Don't let it out of your sight, even if it's just a little. But, do you need to limit your mother's expenses?" Devinna complained not once or twice.

Spoiled and was not happy when all of her hobbies were limited in a certain scope.

Zack, who had expected Devinna to say this was silent. Closed his eyes for a moment, when his mother didn't give him leisure time. Though Devinna would know, Zack must always have a long journey if he wanted to meet her.

Devinna instead immediately attacked Zack with various boring statements.

Zack looked around the house.

"Where's Olive? Why couldn't she be home? And did she go out with that barbarian again?" Zack asked.

Seemed annoyed and didn't mean to divert the conversation. Zack discovered something was not align with his will.

"Your sister is out with her friend. Not going out with her barbarian boyfriend. Then, how can you call Danish a barbarian?" Devinna protested, not understanding why Zack never liked Danish.

Likewise with her husband who continued to bully Olivia to stay away from Danish.

Zack narrowed his eyes.

"Now surprisingly enough, mother defended him? Even though my mother was crazier than I who did not approve of their relationship. Now, mother suddenly changed her mind and didn't agree?"

Didn't dare to look at Zack's face and was slightly embarrassed. Devinna defended herself.

"It can't be helped if that's Olive's wish. And mother believes that their relationship will only last a moment. So I just have to wait for Olivia to get bored and just leave the guy."

Devinna's great thinking invited Zack's laughter.

"And what if they become more serious and find it difficult to separate? Can you take responsibility and accept that decision?"

Being sluggish and will not want to.
