Chapter 44 Splash Him Enough was enough .
I couldnt take it anymore .
I grabbed the wine glass and splashed the wine right on Jeremiahs face .
He froze on the spot as the red liquid dripped down his features , ruining his expensive suit in the process .
I stood up angrily .
What the hell is wrong with you ? How many times do I have to say it ? I want a divorce .
I dont want you anymore ! Jeremiah , where did you get the confidence to think I cant live without you ? Youre the most pathetic man Ive ever ine Hurry up and sign the divorce papers ! Stop wasting my time ! Finally snapping out of his stupor , he wiped the wine off his face with a darkened expression , Ill say it one more time were not getting a divorce ! Fine ! Ive got plenty of ways to make it happens ! I tossed the glass onto the table and stormed out without looking back .
When I got home , my mood was still sour .
Stepping out of the car with a cold expression , I spotted Eric casually watering the flowers in the yard , looking as relaxed as ever .
He noticed me too .
He set down the watering can and walked over .
What happened ? Did something go wrong ? Suppressing my anger , I tried to stay calm .
Nothing much , Jeremiahs just dragging his feet and refusing to agree to the divorce .
Hearing this , Eric was silent for a moment before asking , Whats your plan now ? I looked him straight in the eye and said with determination , Im filing for a divorce .
At this point , the marriage was beyond repair .
Filing a lawsuit was the only way to end it for good .

Hearing my decision , Erics lips curled into a slight smile .
In that case , let me recommend a lawyer .
Flint Groups legal team has never lost a case .
Everyone knew how capable Flint Groups lawyers were .
With their help , this whole process would definitely go smoother .
Given how much I already owed him , one more favor wouldnt make a difference .
With that thought , the weight on my shoulders felt a little lighter .
I nodded .
Alright .
Thank you .
Eric didnt waste any time .
By the next day , he showed up at my house with a lawyer to discuss the details of the case .
The lawyer went over everything .
carefully , assuring me theyd handle the specifics and file the necessary paperwork with the court .
Their confidence was contagious , and I finally felt a sense of calm settling over me .
After seeing the lawyer off , Eric turned to me and asked , Whats your plan after the divorce ? Ill go back to work .
I had given up my career for this marriage .
It was about time I reclaimed what I had lost .
Erics eyes darkened slightly before he said again , Would you be interested in working for me ? I happen to need an assistant .
If theres anything you dont know , I can teach you .
I knew his offer was well intentioned , but considering the rumors we were already caught up in , working together would only fuel more gossip .
No , I already have other plans .
I smiled faintly , looking a bit regretful .
Its a share we wont get to work together .
Eric chuckled Whats the matter ? Are you afraid Ill exploit you as your boss and suck you dry ? Feiguing surprise , I exclaimed , How did you guess ? Eric , you really are sharp eyed ! Cut the teasing After trading a few playful remarks , iny mood lifted a bit .
Eric was someone with a strong sense of boundaries .
He didnt push the work issue further or pry into my plans .
Instead , he simply said , Were friends .
you ever need help , just ask Dont hold back .
Id be lying if I said I wasnt touched .
Looking at him , I said sincerely , Thank you .
Erics eyes flickered with something I couldnt quite place before he suddenly reached out and ruffled my hair .
Then , standing up , he said casually , Alright , Im heading off .
