Rita Arrived at the office an hour late. She looked so devastated that everyone knew she was emotionally down. Her boss asked her to take a day off and get herself calm before resuming the next day.
She is such a vibrant woman and social. Whatever made her this sad is Definitely eating her up. She can’t do anything with such a mood hence she was given a day off.
Rita decided she wasn’t going to go home. She decided to visit her brother. Her mother was going to be back from the US soon.
She drove her car and headed towards her previous apartment that she shared with her brother before leaving for Julia’s Mansion.
Theresa woke up and didn’t see Junxie. Didn’t he return to the room to sleep last night? Theresa thought as she stood up and went to take a bath.
She saw from the water droplets on the wall of the bathroom that Junxie had taken his bath. She showered and stepped out.
Got dressed and came downstairs. But when she arrived, she didn’t see Junxie. He had gone off to the company already.
Before he travelled, they usually went to the company together except if he had an important meeting early that he would go and leave her behind.
Perhaps he had such an important meeting that day. Theresa Mo had her breakfast and got into Junxie’s second car. The chauffeur who was already standing slipped behind the steering wheel and drove her to the company.
Everything went smoothly until toward noon when she received a summons from the court that she’s to appear before the magistrate court by 2pm the next day.
The cause of her summon is concerning her marriage with Lu Jingli. Oh! Lu Jingli has decided to take it uneasy with her.
Since she had refused him, he had decided to use the law against her? Is getting back with him a matter of compulsion? Does he want to force her to be his wife?
Anyways she would find a suitable lawyer and use him to defend her in the court of law. She would ask Junxie perhaps he would lend her his lawyer.
Theresa Mo soon forgot about the issue with Lu Jingli and concentrated on her work. During lunch hour, Theresa Mo waited for Junxie to contact her for lunch but he didn’t.
She went to his office and saw him in a conference call. She knew he was busy and went away. Junxie sent her a message that Pascal Lee was bringing them a take out.
Theresa Mo then returned to her office and waited. Not long after, Pascal Lee came to inform her that the President wanted her in his office.
She knew the lunch was ready. Her stomach churn already and she had been waiting eagerly for lunch to arrive.
She went over to Junxie’s office and saw the collapsible dining table set. She took her seat opposite Junxie and started digging into her lunch.
Junxie was not eating, just picking dishes onto her plate. Theresa Mo was eating and putting some into Junxie’s mouth. He would open his mouth and accept it happily.
Halfway through the meal, Theresa declared that she was full. She then withdrew and Junxie started eating.
When the lunch was over, Theresa Mo told Junxie to lend her his lawyer. The latter asked her what she needed a lawyer for?
That was when Theresa Mo told him about everything that ensued between herself and Lu Jingli when he came to meet her in her office.
And that day, she received a court summons to be in the court the next day by 2pm. She needed a lawyer to accompany her.
Junxie Li just listened to her. He reasoned quickly why Lu Jingli would want to involve the court or the law to get Theresa back.
There’s only one reason why he had the effrontery. ” Who was the witness to your divorce?” Junxie Li asked.
“Non. I was alone in the hospital bed when his lawyer brought the papers and threatened to sign it, and I did” Theresa Mo explained.
Junxie Li just stares at her. “That implies that you didn’t receive a divorce certificate and your wedding certificate is not in your custody” he asked.
Theresa Mo nodded and seemed to realise something. He had an edge over her. He could deny it that they were not divorced and since no one is there as a witness, she wouldn’t be able to claim the fact.
She stared at Junxie and the latter kept staring at her. Junxie picked up the phone and called his assistant.
While the call was going through, he asked Theresa Mo if she remembers the day she signed the divorce papers and her wedding date.
Theresa thought about it and quickly gave him an accurate answer. Junxie Li nodded. That was three days after he slept with her. He still kept the date in his head as well.
He informed his assistant to find out from the bureau if there’s any sign of divorce papers between Theresa Mo and Lu Jingli?
He told Theresa Mo to return to her office and he would inform his lawyer about it and he would accompany her the next day.
But all the same, he wants her to get ready, he would ask someone to pick her to join him in a party because he was leaving beforehand.
Theresa Mo said ok before returning to her office. If there is no trace of the divorce at the bureau, it implies that officially there’s no indication that they are divorced.
This fellow surnamed Lu is so mean. He really wants to deal with her like this and forcefully bring her to his side?
As the time got closer to the end of the day’s work, Rosa called Theresa Mo and said they were going shopping…
