Marry My Ex's Sworn Enemy

Chapter

27

Sonya woke up in the middle of the night parched. Disoriented, she checked on Lily Lane, relieved to find her

sleeping soundly beside her. Checking the time, she went to the small living room for water. After drinking, she

collapsed onto the living room floor. It was cold. She suddenly felt the urge to call Henry and hear his voice.

She dialed, and he answered quickly.

"What's wrong? his gentle voice filled the phone.

Sonya burped. | miss you...."

There was a pause. I'll be hsoon."

| want to ask you....

"What?"

"Can | get a dog?"

"You're asking if I'll clean up after it, right?"

"Huh?"

She'd just wanted to know if he'd agree. She'd had a dog growing up, for twelve years, until it died when she was

in high school. She'd always wanted another, but Julian Jennings hated dogs and wouldn't let her have one.

"Okay. I'll bathe it, groom it, clean up after it, feed it-whatever you want.

Sonya's eyes welled up.

You're so sweet."

'Sleep now, sweetheart."

"Okay, I'll wait for you to chome."

In the conference room, department heads held their breath, waiting for Mr. Sullivan to finish his call. The head

of the tech department, who had just endured a grilling from Mr. Sullivan, felt a pang of longing. Olivorch a

disparity between people! He wished for Mr. Sullivan's gentleness, even a gentle "Get out." Yes, he wanted to

escape!

Others felt the same. They all wondered who was on the other end of the line, that someone could soften Mr.

Sullivan, the ruthless CEO, enough to make him offer to clean up after a dog. The world was upside down!

After the call, Henry's smile vanished. He addressed his employees. This laughable proposal is what you cup

with? Should | give you all a day off for a neurological exam?"

On the third day, Sonya was woken by the doorbell. Seeing Lily Lane still asleep, she put on her robe and went

downstairs. Two cleaning ladies had arrived to clean the newly laid floor tiles. She sent them downstairs and

went to wake Lily Lane. "I'm going furniture shopping. Coming?"

Lily Lane groaned and rolled over."My head hurts. | need to sleep."

"They're installing cabinets today. It'll be noisy," Sonya added.

Lily Lane flipped over again."As long as they don't take apart this bed, I'm not getting up."

Sonya smiled. "I'll order you breakfast. Eat it."

"Mmm, okay."

As Sonya was leaving, her phone buzzed. It was a message from someone labeled "Erha"(Husky). Erha? Who was

that?

The message contained a location and time, followed by: Director Davis dislikes tardiness and sycophants.

Remember this.

It took Sonya a moment to realize it was Jason Reynolds. She'd added him on WhatsApp, and he'd labeled

himself "Erha." Back inside, Sonya woke Lily Lane and showed her the message. Lily Lane screamed. "Sonya,

you're my savior!" "Don't get too excited. Go to the audition."

Olivorddenly energized, Lily Lane went to the bathroom to freshen up, then shrieked. "My hair looks like a wild

turkey!"

It wouldn't do for the audition, so Sonya accompanied her to get her hair dyed black and called a

taxi.

"Driver, please hurry. She's going to be late!"

Sonya breathed a sigh of relief after watching the cab pull away. On the subway to the furniture store, she

remembered getting up to get water last night, and then... making a call. She checked her call log.

She had called Henry. She had asked about getting a dog, and he'd said he'd clean up after it! Sonya covered her

mouth. What had she done?

Lily Lane called excitedly that afternoon. She'd gotten the part, a small supporting role, but she had a job!

"I'm going to JoyPlus Entertainment. Wishluck."

"Good luck."

After choosing her furniture, Sonya was on the subway hwhen Ashley sent her a voice message, telling her

to check the internet. Sonya saw the trending topic and scrolled down. There was a video of Seraphina West

crying on an elevator after being rejected for Director Davis's new .

Lily Lane

got the part, but Seraphina West didn't.

Sonya wasn't interested in watching Seraphina West's misfortune, so she closed the page. Near Julian Jennings's

villa, she saw him and Seraphina West getting out of a car. Seraphina West's eyes were still red. She saw Sonya,

her face darkening, and went straight inside. "You know Jason Reynolds?" Julian Jennings asked. Ignoring him,

Sonya continued towards her house.

"Jason Reynolds has countless women. He's just amused by you!"

When Sonya ignored him, he grabbed her arm.

"You don't really think he's interested in you, do you?"

Sonya shook him off forcefully."Julian Jennings, please stop bothering me! We're over. What | do, who | see-it's

none of your business!"

Enraged, he pushed her against the wall, pinning her.

"Julian Jennings!" Sonya shouted.

He stared at her face, his expression stiffening at the wariness and disgust in her eyes.

"Don't yell outside my house. The neighbors will think we have a rabid dog!"

They glared at each other. Seraphina West appeared a few feet away."What are you two doing?",
