Chapter 267

At this point,even Cedric started to get antsy about Remington.

Asthe special assistant, Cedric felt he had a crystal–clear view of things. Remington was obviously smitten with his wife and careda lotabouttheirmarriage.

Back when Lizetta was still working in Remington’s office, Cedric would walk in to deliver some documents and catch the boss sneakily checking her out from behind his desk.

Sometimes he’d be so engrossed that he wouldn’t even notice Cedric’s entrance, and that usually stolc, handsome face would breakintoagoofygrin.

That’s love, man,

Back then, Cedric was totally shipping Remington and his secret wifey,but who would’ve thought they’d be talking divorce and actually go through with it?

Cedric thought it was just a spat, but nope, they were really getting a divorce.

Lately, Remington had been super tight–lipped, and on the rare occasions he did speak, he was all fire and brimstone, obviously because his wife was leaving him.

Cedric believed Remington was too proud, but if it took a ladder to bring him down to earth and chase after Lizetta at the airport,he didn’t mind being that ladder.

“Mr. Dashiell, there’s no hurdle too high for a married couple, right? You and Mrs. Dashiell don’t have any big issues. She’s just miffed about the Ms. Hawthome thing. Just explain it to her properly. She loves you to bits;she’ll stay for sure.”

“Youdone?” Remington looked at Cedric and asked.

Seeing Remington respond,Cedric got a second wind, nodding vigorously and launching into another impassioned plea.

“If you really let Mrs. Dashiell leave the country, give it a month of cold war, and even the deepest love will go cold. And when she comes back, you’ll just be heading to the registry office for a divorce certificate.”

Remington nodded, “Done? Then get out.”

With that, the man lowered his head and continued browsing through his documents.

Cedric was left speechless.

Was his reaction too cold? Was Cedric’s fanboying notstrongenough,not heartfelt enough?

Could a shipper’s heart take such a beating?

Cedric’s stubbornness kicked in, his feet seemingly welded to the spot, and he spoke up again.

“Mr. Dashiell,yourpride ain’t worthadime right now!”

Remington, probably fed up, chuckled and glanced at Cedric,curling his lips slightly as if to say.

“So?You dropped your pride and beggedyourcheating fiancée to come back. Didsheregret it? Did she get back with you?”

Cedric was thunderstruck!

Why the sudden personal attack?

Cedric, with a sad face, said, “My girlfriend didn’t cheat.”

“Right,she just kept a backup,” Remington cutin.

When Cedric returned from abroad, eager to propose, hefoundhisgirlfriend hadalreadyprintedweddinginvitations with another guy.

Despite that, Cedric still went ahead with the proposal setup, but thegirldidn’t even show up, leaving Cedric drunk and crying under her window.

“It’s because I was too busy,never had time for her, missed her birthday,wasn’t there when her dad had the accident.”

“She’s sogreat,she’s getting married next week. Don’tforgetto sendaheftywedding gift.”

Remington sneered,as if to say Cedric,this hopeless romantic, was trying to brainwash him?

Pure nonsense.

“Get out!Sticktothe schedule.”

Remingtoncommandedsternly, and Cedric’s eyes began toredden,feelingboth struckandstung.

Summoninggreatcourage, he said, “My ex might have been at fault, but I had my shareofblametoo,soIdon’t resent her. Mr. Dashiell, don’t worry,I’llsincerely bless her at herweddingnextweek, because I’m not over her yet. But if she’s foundabetteroption,I’llwish her

the best. That’s where my heart is. But Mr. Dashiell, can you really bear to let your wife go?”

Having said his piece, Cedric didn’t wait for Remington to explode, he turned to make a quickexit.

However, just as his hand touched the office door, Remington’s chilling voice followed him.

“We’ve had quite a few employees with mental strain recently. The logistics department is setting up a special counseling room. Since you’re so good at giving advice, you can be a counselor. You’ll have plenty of time to play the loyal puppy”

Cedric’s face fell, wishing he could slap himself.

He knew about the counseling room setup, and the staff had jokingly called it the Starlight Group’s “residents‘ committee.”

No need to be so harsh; he was a top–notch grad with double degrees in Finance and Investment from a world–class university!
