Refusing To Divorce (Julia and Harry)

Asher was sprawled out on the beanbag that Kathy cherished the most, which made Kathy inwardly cringe. 'If it weren't for the fact that Asher is my boss, I'd have kicked him out of here long ago, she thought to herself. Asher detected the jest in Kathy's tone at once. He pretended not to hear it. "What's up? Are you getting tired of me now?"

Kathy chuckled. "You're my boss. How could I possibly tire of you? I'm just concerned that someone else might be. You keep hanging around her for no reason. What if people find out or discover something?"

"I don't know what you're talking about," Asher said grumpily, glaring at Kathy. "Don't make things up."

Kathy had always been good at reading people, and she didn't think she was mistaken this time. So even if Asher denied it, she didn't really intend to expose him. She knew that Asher certainly wouldn't admit it in front of her. "Whether I'm making things up or not, you know best in your heart. We've all grown up together as friends. I just hope you understand not to do anything you'll regret," Kathy said meaningfully, casting a glance at the silent Asher, believing he truly understood her message.

"Boring." Asher felt as if someone had discovered his secret. Staying here any longer made him uncomfortable all over, so he decided to make a quick exit. Before leaving, he added, staring at Kathy, "Women really do have a vivid imagination." Kathy gave him a gentle smile, and Asher continued, "This is completely like I've hired a queen to take care of.

"To be precise, it's two queens." Kathy's implication was clear. The other was undoubtedly Julia. Asher smiled. "Indeed, I'm so idle that I've hired two queens for myself. I even suspect that you deliberately recruited Julia to the company because you knew about her." Kathy squinted her eyes slightly, her smile radiating a subtle menace. Asher was outplayed. Every time he saw Kathy with that sly expression, he worried that she would plot against him behind his back.

Kathy seemed gentle on the surface, but she was full of mischief Asher often took the fall for her in their childhood because Kathy had a knack for winning over the elders. As a child, Kathy was sweet-talking, the epitome of the ideal kid next door. Asher, on the other hand, was the quintessential troublemaker, surviving in the cracks. Both Harry and Kathy were the golden children.

After leaving Kathy's office, Asher bumped into Julia by chance. They exchanged glances, and Julia, understanding the unspoken message, greeted Asher. "Hi, Mr. Cooper!" Thinking of unrequited love, Julia couldn't help but feel sorry for Asher, her expression betraying a look of sympathy.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Asher stood there, bewildered. As Julia walked away, he still didn't quite understand why Julia looked at him with pity. He didn't think he was that pitiable.

Julia placed the printed materials on Valerie's desk who was engrossed in the sweet exchanges with her boyfriend via WhatsApp, barely glanced at them and ignored Julia.

After hesitating for a moment, Julia pulled out a chair and sat down. Seeing that Valerie still had no intention of acknowledging her, she sighed quietly and then messaged Harry Julia: [It seems Asher's love life is doomed to fail.]

Harry was takerr aback by the message, then realized what he had told Julia. He was in the middle of a meeting and had a client to meet later, yet here he was, chatting with Julia on his phone. Alden, who was following behind, saw this and couldn't help but show a look of relief. Only when Harry's life was going well would their lives be easier

Reflecting on the torment of the past few days, Alden was now extremely fearful of any discord between Harry and Julia, as it was always the innocent bystanders like them who got hurt.

Julia: [Asher seemed quite down just now. You should spend some time with him. After all, you guys are good buddies.]

Harry, reading the words as if seeing Julia's expression at that moment, replied with a hint of annoyance: [You care about Asher a lot?]

Julia: [I just don't want him to waste his time on something impossible.] Julia sent, and after that, she received no reply from Harry.

"Hey, Julia!" a familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind. Julia spun around to see Cecilia, dressed in a gorgeous standing not far away, smiling at her. Next to her was someone Julia didn't recognize. outfit,

Cecilia said something to the person beside her, and after a while, Julia watched as Cecilia approached her with graceful steps, extending her delicate hand to show off the diamond ring on her finger, the size of a pebble. Julia blinked. "It's a bit dazzling. Clearly, it's quite large."

"Oh, actually, I don't like it. I always feel it's too showy, but wearing it is a sign of respect for the giver," said Cecilia, showing off.

Julia nodded in understanding. "So you're kind and gentle, and I'm the mean and petty one."

Cecilia seemed not to catch the sarcasm in Julia's words and deliberately flicked her hair. "I happened to be passing by today, so I thought I'd come up and see you. I've prepared afternoon tea for you and your colleagues."

Julia didn't even glance at the items placed on the table. "I don't have a taste for these. You might as well eat them yourself. As you know, I've always been malicious and don't appreciate your gestures."

Each of Julia's sentences was laced with sarcasm toward Cecilia, who maintained a faint smile throughout, occasionally showing a look of slight grievance. Cecilia even went so far as to link arms with Julia, trying to display a close relationship in front of everyone. Julia felt like retching at the sight. She had always despised Cecilia, and in her eyes, Cecilia was not even worthy of serving her, no matter when or where.

Naturally, Valerie sided with Julia. Seeing Julia's refusal, she abruptly placed the items back into Cecilia's hands. "I don't take gifts without reason. I dare not eat them. What if they're poisoned? I still have many years I wish to live."

As she heard this, Cecilia's face turned pale and then flushed. Jessica, eating something leisurely, happened to overhear the conversation between Cecilia and them and commented, "I've always known that you and your sister don't get along, but I didn't expect you to be so caustic and not spare any reputation."

"Is this the first time you've realized?" Julia responded coldly. Perhaps the man who had come with Cecilia saw her on the verge of tears and felt compassion, striding over to stand behind her protectively.

Julia recognized him as somewhat familiar, possibly having seen him at Donald's birthday party. She had noticed then that his gaze had always followed Cecilia, but anyone who mingled with Cecilia was no good, all of them being birds of a feather.

Julia still wore an unfriendly expression, her indifferent gaze immediately causing the young man to show dissatisfaction. "What kind of look is that? As an elder sister, how can you make things so difficult for Cecilia?"

Hearing this, Julia chuckled. "When did Cecilia become my sister? When have I ever acknowledged that?"

Julia slapped Cecilia hard in public, causing Cecilia to nearly lose her balance. She indeed stumbled, leaning to the side and falling right into the man's broad embrace, with two repulsive tears hanging from the corners of her eyes.
