Chapter 44 Do You Have Time for a Divorce?
But the photo only showed Erica's profile, and the other man's face was not captured.
However, she remembered the suit Aaron wore yesterday, as well as the color and shape of the tie. She was almost certain that the man sitting across from Erica was Aaron.
It turned out that Aaron went on a date with his first love last night.
Susanna recalled the scene at the coffee shop, a hint of mockery flashed in her eyes, and then she closed the page.
Next to her, Allison leaned over with her phone, showing the picture of the man from behind. "Susanna, do you think this man's back looks familiar?"
Susanna's expression was indifferent. "I don't know."
"How can you not know? This man's back looks just like the owner of the villa you met last time!"
"If you want to confirm, you can go to the villa and find him."
Susanna didn't have the energy to deal with people like Allison, who didn't work hard but focused on other aspects of the news.
Only then did Allison return to her own workstation. She always felt like she should be with someone, but unfortunately, he already had a girlfriend. If only she were an heiress, but she didn't have such luck!
Susanna sat alone in front of the computer, lost in thought, unable to draw a single picture for a long time.
Finally, she took out her phone and sent a message to Aaron: [See you at the government office at nine o'clock tomorrow morning.]
After sending this message, Susanna flipped her phone upside down on the desk. Since Aaron and Erica had progressed to this point, why not stay unhappily married?
Abbott's Group.
Aaron was still angry. "Who took the picture and posted it?"
"Boss, I've arranged for someone to take down the trending search."
Aaron frowned. Susanna must have seen this message.
He took his phone and saw the message Susanna had sent. His brows furrowed even more.
She was in such a hurry to divorce him? He wouldn't let her have her way!
The man pressed his lips together: [I'm busy.]
At this moment, Erica called to explain, "Aaron, I'm sorry. I didn't expect to be followed by entertainment reporters yesterday. But fortunately, they didn't capture you, and I'll release a statement to clarify later."
"Mm. I don't want this kind of thing to happen again."
"Aaron, don't worry. This was an accident."
Erica hung up the phone, but there was a smug expression on her face. The reporters last night were intentionally arranged by her.
Aaron had never liked having his privacy exposed, so she took the initiative to call and say she wanted to clarify.
Elaine chimed in, "Erica, why bother clarifying? After all, you will eventually marry my cousin."
Erica shook her head. She understood Aaron's personality the best. This was already enough, at least it could make that woman named Susanna give up.
She would never let go of Aaron.
She glanced at the time, not knowing how things were going for that woman Susanna. That woman should be able to divorce Aaron as soon as possible for Grandma Abbott's successful surgery.
Elaine spoke up, "Erica, when is Grandma going to have surgery? Maud said that after Grandma's surgery, you two will prepare for marriage."
Erica smiled, "Is that what Maud said?"
"Yes, Erica, don't hide such a big thing from me. Will Austin and Arthur come over then?"
"Of course, my brothers are very good to me."
Erica sounded proud, but she was actually worried. After all, she couldn't contact Austin during this time. He always said he was busy with business trips and had no time to reply.
But she must make Austin come back to perform surgery on Grandma Abbott. This is her bargaining chip for marrying into the Abbotts!
She could clearly feel that Aaron's attitude towards her had changed and that he was different with Susanna. She must get rid of Susanna before things changed!
"Elaine, you must tell me promptly if anything happens with Aaron, especially about Susanna."
"Erica, don't worry. I won't let Susanna shamelessly stay at the Abbotts."
Erica smiled, "Thank you, Elaine."
"What are you thanking me for? Our backgrounds are different from Susanna's. She is not worthy of marrying Aaron. Susanna is just an orphan from a slum who got lucky and took advantage of it."
Erica smirked. Yes, in terms of status and position, she was the woman deserving of Aaron.
A few days later, Susanna ran into Erica outside Q.F. Studio again.
The two went to a café downstairs.
Erica anxiously spoke, "Have you not gotten divorced yet?"
Susanna knew why Erica was looking for her, and she calmly replied, "I sent him a message about divorce when we last had dinner together."
"And what did he say?"
"He said he was busy."
Upon hearing this, Erica's mood soured. "Susanna, if I find out that you're lying, I won't spare you."
Susanna took out her phone and showed the conversation record between her and Aaron on Facebook. "If you don't believe me, the evidence is here."
Upon seeing that message, Erica felt even more uneasy.
Susanna took back the phone and said, "Instead of threatening me, it would be more effective to go directly to Aaron. This way would be more useful."
Erica suppressed her uneasiness and pretended to be calm. "I know about this. He has been busy lately, dealing with a big contract. I will talk to him about it. I hope there won't be any problems on your end!"
Susanna got up and left.
Erica remembered the Facebook conversation she saw just now. Could it be that Aaron doesn't want a divorce?
Even if Susanna was seen with another man at the restaurant that day, Aaron could still tolerate it?
Erica had a bad guess in her heart. Could it be that Aaron likes Susanna? No, that's impossible!
After leaving the coffee shop, Erica immediately drove to Abbott's Group. She had to find out about this matter right away.
She went straight to Aaron's office and anxiously waited.
Not long after, Aaron finished his meeting and returned to the office. He saw Erica on the sofa and asked, "Why are you here?"
Erica glanced at Assistant Lee and said, "Aaron, there's something I need to talk to you about."
Assistant Lee left the office conscientiously and closed the door.
Aaron looked at his watch and said, "One minute."
"Aaron, you and Susanna have signed the divorce agreement for so long. When will you go through with the formal divorce procedures?"
The man's gaze became distant. "This is not something you should be concerned about."
Erica was stunned. "Aaron, you know how I feel. I've been waiting for you for the past three years."
"I never asked you to wait for me."
Erica panicked a bit. "Aaron, is it because you still mind that three years ago I couldn't come to marry you in time? At that time, I wanted to come, but my brother locked me up at home and I couldn't make it. If I had come, Susanna wouldn't have appeared around us, right?"
Aaron pinched his brow. "These two things are different, and you don't need to waste any more time on me."
Erica's heart sank suddenly, and she remembered the conversation Susanna showed her.
She slowly clenched her own hand. She couldn't give up like this, she couldn't accept it!
Erica took a deep breath and looked up. "Aaron, Austin promised to come and perform surgery for Grandma, but there's a condition!"
