A Successful Career After Divorce

She wasn’t sure if Shannon did it on purpose or not, but it was just too coincidental!

But how did Shannon know she was pregnant? If she knew, shouldn’t she have caused a scene already? Why was she so calm?

“Miss Murphy, you’re too polite! I’ll just focus on my work for now!” Ranita’s response was a refusal, but Shannon seemed to ignore it and flirtatiously twirled her hair while saying, “Ranita, why are you being so polite with me?”

Just then, Cindy handed Shannon some ointment. Shannon blinked at Ranita and put on an affected tone as she said, “Brendon got drunk last night and caused quite a commotion. My knee is bruised!”Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Her voice was dripping with coquettishness, and her eyes sparkled with a hint of flirtation. She practically wanted to shout from the rooftops that she had an intimate relationship with Brendon.

“Miss Murphy, I know you and Mr. Stuart have a good relationship, but please don’t display it so early in the morning! We have a concert to perform soon, so it’s better to focus on that,” Cindy reminded Shannon while chatting away on the side.

Ranita was the master of keeping her emotions hidden, and she chose to remain silent.

“Oh dear, there’s someone else here!” Shannon grabbed Cindy’s shoulder and smiled at Ranita again. “Don’t mind her,” referring to Cindy, who sometimes spoke bluntly without any malice intended. “And Brendon is very gentle towards me. It’s just that my skin is delicate…”

Cindy worked for Shannon, so naturally, she sided with her boss when it came down to choosing sides. She followed up by adding, “Miss Bowman, don’t mind, though, because Mr. Stuart has good feelings towards our boss here. This limited edition bracelet on our boss’s wrist was a gift from him!” The two of them teamed up like a master-servant duo, using their combo moves to show off Brendon’s favoritism towards Shannon.

Wasn’t all this just an attempt to show off how much Brendon favored her?

Ranita sighed inwardly but didn’t want to engage in any further conversation. She had already divorced her ex-husband, and there was really no need for such drama anymore.

“I don’t mind. You guys go ahead and chat. I’ll go to the restroom for a moment,” said Ranita. She felt a tickle in her throat and figured she might feel nauseous later, so she decided to take a break and have a piece of candy.

As soon as Ranita left, Cindy immediately sneered, “Shannon, she is quite composed.”

“She’s not easy to deal with.” Shannon gritted her teeth. She thought Ranita might not show up today! Yesterday, she wasted a bowl of soup on her!

Shannon was really angry yesterday. She only turned back because the chef told her that pregnant women shouldn’t drink it. If one bowl of soup could make Ranita lose her baby, she would have set off fireworks!

“I heard that Ranita comes from an average background. Her parents are from out of town, and she’s alone in Kurima trying to make a living. It should be easy for us to deal with someone like that!” Cindy knew too well how to destroy someone in the entertainment industry.

“Okay, Mr. Semeraro is here now, and the concert is more important!” Shannon had seen many dirty tricks, but if they were going to be done, she couldn’t do them herself. Her concert was about to start, and it wasn’t worth risking anything.

Ranita spent a long time washing her hands in the bathroom.

Of course, she wasn’t calm inside – Brendon was such an asshole! He said he missed her and then slept with Shannon right after turning around.

What a jerk!

Ranita cursed Brendon thousands of times in her mind!

Ranita wasn’t feeling well mentally anyway – having to guard against Shannon all morning while working made her head ache when leaving Sugar Media.

Fortunately, after this job at Sugar Media ended, she wouldn’t need to come back again which was good news for once. When Ranita returned home without eating lunch yet, she fell asleep right away.

When she woke up later on, there were waves of delicious food smells coming from outside. When Ranita went out for a look, she was surprised to see her friend, Eve.
