After the door was slammed in Amanda’s face, she couldn’t help but laugh. It was
somewhat amusing to
her.
Elias was still as arrogant as ever, not having changed one bit since four years ago.
However…..
Were Elias’ words just now sincere? When we got married four years ago, he actually did
have feelings for me….
Amanda sat in her office chair and burst into laughter..
She couldn’t understand why she was always so soft-hearted to this man. Deep down, she
always seemed to want to give him another chance.
“I just wanted Aiden to have a normal childhood. Yes, that’s the only reason…” she
whispered in an attempt to comfort herself.
After Elias left. Amanda couldn’t focus on work for the entire afternoon. Her head was a
mess.
She was contemplating whether to give him another chance even in the meeting.
Simon looked up at Amanda then. “Amanda, do you have any opinions on this case?”
“Um… Huh? What did you say just now?”
Amanda only came back to her senses after having her name called. She was completely
unaware of what Simon had said.
It was the same as drifting off in class and getting called upon by the teacher to answer a
question.
Seeing how absent-minded she was, Simon frowned and asked, “What’s wrong? Is
something bothering you?”
“It’s nothing, really. Sorry, I just got lost in thought. She straightened up, shook her head,
and tried to get into work mode.
Soon, it was time to leave work
Amanda glanced at her wrist to check the time. She had arranged to meet with a client
regarding the case, but this person was too busy during the day to meet up in the
morning.

As she walked out of the office building through the elevator to go to the garage, a white
Bentley suddenly stopped in front of her.
Elias’ handsome face appeared when the window slowly rolled down. He asked in a deep
and sexy voice, “Where are you going? Let me give you a ride.”

She smiled. “Is this your idea of dating?”

The man pulled his eyebrows together into a frown. “Don’t couples normally do this? Isn’t
it a basic thing to have the man pick up the woman from work?”
Amanda did not know what to say. Well, it is the most basic thing in a relationship.
However, it seems strange when Elias is the one doing this.
She didn’t bother thinking about it and walked straight to the garage. “Thanks for the kind
offer, Mr. Ex- husband, but it’s alright. I’m going to meet a client. I’ll just drive there
myself.”
The car slowly caught up with her pace. “What if I hire you a driver? Is that still a no? Also,
you’re bad at driving and it’s rush hour now. You are going to get your head chewed off if
you get on the road now,”
She instantly stopped in her tracks and turned to look at the man in the car.
This despicable man and his low EQ! Did he really expect to have a normal relationship
like this? I bet no woman would want to date him if it weren’t for the Winters Family’s
influence and his handsome face. There is no saving his insensitivity!
“Amanda, get in the car, the man said again.
Feeling a bit annoyed, she sighed and opened the car door. After she sat in the passenger
seat, she fastened her seatbelt.
“Take me to the World Trade Center, please. Thanks, Mr. Ex-husband.” She intentionally
emphasized the way she addressed him just to make him uncomfortable.
Displeased, the man furrowed his brows. “I don’t like that name. Change it.”
“But it’s the truth. Mr. Ex-husband. Is there something you are not happy about? Should I
show you the divorce certificate to help you remember how you forced me to sign the
divorce agreement back then?”
Elias didn’t say anything further. It seemed that this woman was deliberately making
things hard for him.
It’s alright, he told himself. I won’t argue with women, especially since she is my woman.
Furthermore, I owe her too much back then. I have to make it up to her.
Amanda waited for a long time, but the man didn’t retort. She was somewhat surprised at
that. Did his temper improve?
As expected, the streets were packed like crazy because it was rush hour.
When she drove through this intersection, she would always get cut off or honked at by
drivers behind her, leaving her a nervous and flustered wreck. Her car had been scratched
many times.
But today, with Elias driving her, they smoothly passed through this intersection.
She couldn’t help but wonder if her driving skills were really that bad. Maybe I just drive a
bit slower…. Finally, Elias’ car entered the underground parking lot when they arrived at
the World Trade Center. Amanda unbuckled her seatbelt and tried to send him away. “You
can go if you have something to do. I

might take some time to discuss work. I’ll take a cab back later.”

To her surprise, the man also unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car, his tall figure
walking behind
her.
Amanda stopped in her tracks and looked back at him with a face filled with confusion.
“Why are you following me? You’re not planning to meet my client with me, are you?”
“No worries. I won’t get in your way. I’ll just sit at the table next to you,” Elias commented.
Amanda was speechless from disbelief.
Is this still the irritable demon I know? Is he really going to sit at the next table and wait
for me quietly?
“What if it takes a few hours?” She couldn’t say for sure how long she would take. It would
definitely take a long time if she couldn’t reach an agreement with the other party.
The man seemed unbothered. “I’ll wait for you. I have nothing else going on today
anyway.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAmanda narrowed her eyes slightly.
This was the future heir of Winters Enterprise they were talking about. There was no way
he would be so free to waste his time. His daily schedule was supposed to be packed.
However, Amanda couldn’t be bothered to deal with him anymore. She was already
running late for her appointment.
She then hurriedly stepped into the elevator, determined to reach the agreed-upon
location before the client. It was a matter of proper etiquette.
She accidentally stumbled when she rushed into the elevator. Luckily, the man behind her
caught her before he scolded her, “Walk properly! How can a lawyer be so careless?”
Amanda couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him. “I got it!”
It was strange. Even though Elias was the one pursuing a relationship with her, she felt as
if his imposing presence was weighing her down.
Ding!
When they arrived on the 15th floor, Amanda walked into a cafe and chose a seat by the
window.
Elias, being considerate, took a seat next to the aisle. However, his gaze remained fixed
on Amanda like he was her bodyguard.
She felt herself becoming uncomfortable under his intense scrutiny. She helplessly looked
at him and begged, “Will you stop staring at me?”
She needed to get into the right mindset to discuss work with the client later.
A faint smile appeared on the man’s lips. “Alright.”
At that moment, a waiter approached Elias to take his order.

After waiting for a few minutes, Amanda’s client finally arrived. He was the CEO of an
advertising company, and he needed Amanda’s assistance in dividing marital assets for
his divorce.

Amanda stood up, extending her hand with a smile. “Hello, Mr. Jensen. I’m Amanda Bailey
from Justice & Associates.”
“Hello, hello, young lady. I’m surprised by how young you are. I thought you would be an
older woman when Simon highly recommended you.” Zayne Jensen shook her hand and
took a seat across from her.
