NovelEnglishChapter 191 Jessica put away her phone and stormed off in a huff.
I turned around, leaning against the counter as I watched her pick up her pace. "Jessica, a wise horse never doubles back to graze." "Since I've divorced him, I won't have anything to do with him again," I shot back. "You can rest assured on that." Steven was my ex-husband, and we had spent six years together. However, from the moment our divorce was finalized, it felt like I had erased him from my life completely.
I only ever thought about him when someone else brought him up. Otherwise, he barely crossed my mind. "Excuse me. Your drink is ready." The cashier handeda bag. After a moment's hesitation, curiosity got the better of her. "What's your relationship with her?" I took the bag with a smile. "She's my ex-husband's current girlfriend." Back at the office, Sasha immediately cover. "What did she say to you?" "Looks like their relationship is hitting a rough patch," I said. "Jessica's clearly worried I might get back together with Steven. She went out of her way to remindhow much he loves her." Sasha scoffed. "How desperate is that?" I handed her a cup of coffee. "Honestly, I'm rooting for them. The happier they are, the better." Sasha glanced atand curiously asked, "Why's that?" It was simple. The more in love they were, the bigger the fallout when the truth about Jessica's baby being Casper's eventually cout. Their conflicts would blow up, and I could just sit back and enjoy the show. Yet, I wasn't about to tell anyone that. Instead, I handed another cup of coffee to Zane. "It's a secret." Sasha looked over at Zane, but he was just as clueless. He took the coffee and offered, "How much do I owe you? I'll reimburse you." Zane never liked accepting free stuff from anyone.

Sasha instantly lost interest in her coffee. "If that woman bought it, I'm not drinking it!" she said, taking my side without hesitation.
"It took sserious effort to make her foot the bill." I took a sip of my milk. It was scalding hot and tasted just like regular milk, but it cost several times more.
Suddenly, I felt a bit duped. "Don't waste my good intentions." Reluctantly, Sasha sighed, "Fine." Back at my desk, I set my milk down and got back to work.
Meanwhile, Sasha went right back to scrolling on her phone.
On the other hand, Eric had something to report to Zane.
As Zane left the room, he made sure to take his coffee with him.
When they reached the meeting room, Eric's eyes landed on the coffee in Zane's hand.

Eric didn't know, but he understood how to act to make Zane happy! He e feigned surprise and asked, "Really?" "Of course," Zane replied. He walked over to the window. "So, what did you want to tell me?" Eric said, "The dolls you ordered have arrived."
When the front desk notified him, he even went downstairs to pick them up and placed them on the desk to his left. Eric casually picked them up and handed them to Zane.

The stuffed dolls weren't very large.
They were about 1.6 feet tall and resembled Willow's grandparents. Zane stared at the two dolls, feeling curious if these dolls might help Willow improve.
