10 Divorce

"Anything unusual?" the woman asked again. Diana thought for a while then said. "Hmm... today was unusual. She didn't go to work. Head Nurse Jing said that she was not feeling well. I called her to inquire. She said she's fine she just wanted to take a day off which she never usually does."

"Does she have any new acquaintances?" Diana shakes her head and said "No... well if you count the new CEO of CLP Group of Hospitals... maybe yes."

"A new CEO?" the woman asked now with a cold tone. "Yes, Madam. Just over a month ago the son of Chairman John Parker arrived from overseas and took over the CLP Group of Hospitals. He is a Surgeon so Miss J probably has been acquainted with him since he was often in the Department of Surgery to perform surgeries."

"Hmm... Thank you, Diana. Continue watching over her." the woman said looking outside the window, deep in thought.

As soon as Diana left the place the woman looked at the tall man who is also the driver of the car and said. "Do a background check to the new CEO of CLP Group of Hospitals." "Yes Madam." the tall man answered.

.....

At the Parkers Mansion, Madam Kelly seemed agitated. "Hon, have you found her? Did you find anything about this Jenny Do? It's been a month now and we have no information about her yet!"

John took a deep breath and said. "Our investigator has done his best to find this girl but she seemed to be nowhere to be found. No records in schools, universities, government, hospitals, or private companies. The name Jenny Do doesn't appear in any documents except that marriage contract."

"We are starting to suspect that she is an undocumented person or an underground personality. We will do our search in the nearby countryside."

The next day J went back to the hospital like usual. The only unusual thing is the divorce paper in her bag. She did her daily routine, she had already prepared herself in case she suddenly bumped into Jacob but he didn't appear.

On the second day, she didn't see Jacob as well. So she went straight to his office after her shift. That's when she found out that Jacob is visiting the other hospitals and will be back the day after tomorrow.

J went home disappointed... so she had to wait for another two days before she could see him. 'Well, she has to see him because of the divorce paper.' she reasoned to herself.

Finally, Jacob returned to the hospital. J can't wait so she sneaked out during her lunch break to meet Jacob. 'I hope he's in the office'. she thought to herself.

As she reached the office she knocked at the door. He heard Jacob say "Come in." an involuntary smile appeared on her lips upon hearing his voice. She stopped for a while, shook her head, and returned to her cold face.

She came inside and saw Jacob and James talking. Jacob looked in her direction. Suddenly he felt delighted when he saw who came in. He unconsciously said "Jenny." in a sweet tone.

J was stunned when she heard him call her name. It was the first time that she heard someone call her Jenny. Normally it was Miss J or Nurse J. Only her parents and grandfather call her Jenny. And hearing Jacob call her name makes her blush. And did she hear the sweetness in his tone when he called her name?

'No… wait! She's here for a divorce.' she reminded herself. She turned into her cold face and said. "Can we talk?"

"Sure," Jacob said, smiling at her. Later on, James excused himself.

"Sit down." Jacob motioned her to sit but she refused and said "I want you to sign this." She said as she passes him a piece of paper. Jacob reached for it and furrowed his brows.

"What's this?" he asked.

J said, "I want a divorce."

Jacob smiled sarcastically. "Actually, I already prepared a divorce paper when I found out about our marriage." Jacob said looking at her waiting for her reaction. "but then... I changed my mind." he continued still looking at her. He noticed anger starting to build up in her face.

J burst out in anger and said "Mr. CEO I'm not interested in this marriage. In fact, I have no plan of getting married. I was married to you without my consent so I guess it was just right for me to ask for a divorce!" J called him 'Mr. CEO' in a mocking tone.

"I will not divorce you...yet." Jacob interrupted.

"What do you mean?" J asked him impatiently.

"I thought this marriage and my wife was quite mysterious and interesting. So, I will find out the mystery behind you and our marriage before I decide if we should get a divorce or not. Who knows our grandfathers might have a valid reason." Jacob said though internally, he doesn't have any plans to divorce this woman in front of him.

"In short, I would like to try out this marriage while I haven't talked to my grandfather and find out their reason." Jacob continued.

J was dumbfounded. What the hell is this guy talking about? Try out this marriage? Is this some kind of game that he can quit whenever he wants?

"Are you crazy?" J asked him unbelievably.

"No, I'm not." Jacob smirk.

"So where do you want us to stay? My villa? Your apartment? Or at the Parker's Mansion? Oh! Wait! Not the Parker's Mansion. Coz that would mean living with my parents! If we live with them my mom would definitely bug us about having a child!" Jacob shakes his head at the thought.

J who standing in front of Jacob burst out in anger. "Jacob Parker!" she shouted at him. Jacob was surprised and almost fell out of his chair.

"You are crazy! We are definitely not living together! You are signing that divorce paper now!" J's face is now red in anger.

Jacob stands up with his temper. Never in his life that a woman shouts at him. "Jenny Do! We are not getting a divorce! And that's final!" upon saying that he tore the divorce paper into pieces and threw it in the trash bin.

J was so angry. "You're unbelievable," she said in a low voice while clenching her fist looking at Jacob with hatred. She then left slamming the door behind. Jacob was left with his temper rising.

Jacob slumped back in his chair, brushed his hair with his finger, and tried to calm himself. Yeah, he is unbelievable. What a lame excuse! Of course, whatever their grandfather's reason for marrying them off that won't affect his decision whether they are going to divorce or not. Ever since he found out that Jenny Do is Nurse J he already dismissed the idea of getting a divorce.

He wanted to know what it feels like living in the same house with her, eating dinner with her, sleeping with her. Waking up with her in his arms. He wanted to take care of her. He wanted to know how it felt like being married to her. Never in his life did he feel like this towards a woman considering that he just met her a couple of days ago and barely knew anything about her.

Who knows, maybe he may want to make this marriage last.

He was already calm when James entered his office. "What happened? She was storming outside." James asked worriedly. "She proposed a divorce," Jacob said. "And..." James waited. "Of course, I refused."

"Why? You also told me to prepare a divorce paper." James said, confused. Jacob shuddered and said, "Well I said not until I found out the reason behind our marriage."

"That was a lame excuse." James smiled.

"Yeah, I know. But it worked." Jacob laughed.

James looked at Jacob unbelievably. He is starting to think that after finding out that Jenny Do is Nurse J Jacob started to like this marriage.
