Ignoring the fruit and pastries on the table , she picked up her phone and started playing a game , her fingers moving with forced nonchalance .
Minutes later , the door opened again .
Grace returned , this time carrying a glass of strawberry juice .
She placed it down with a polite smile .
Mrs.

Charlotte said nothing more , her face as calm as ever .
Not long after , the door swung open once again .

Then why were you crying last night ? His gaze flicked to her lips , soft , full , and infuriatingly tempting .
Charlotte froze for a moment , then realized what he meant .

Once again , Arthur found himself at a dead end , an infuriating sense of helplessness washing over him .
You told me to wait while you finished your meeting , Charlotte continued .
Well , youre done now , arent you ? Lets go get the divorce papers .

With that , he turned and walked out , leaving the door to click shut behind him .

That was close .
If he kept this up , she wasnt sure how much longer she could keep the act going .

She rubbed her temples in frustration .
Who knew getting a divorce would be this hard ? The staff had cleared away the strawberries and replaced them with a glass of plain water .
She sat in the reception room , waiting as the clock ticked by .
Minutes turned to hours , and before she knew it , it was already 4 PM .
