Beyond The Divorce - Season 6 Episode 69

Indeed, Jeremiah couldn’t resist my assertive demeanor. He looked displeased, saying, “Mr. Martin Terrell, of course.” I scoffed and asked, “Do I know that person? Why would he extend an invitation to me? Mr. Jeremiah, you know I don’t attend random gatherings, right? There must be a reason for the invitation. Your cousin Chad knows it, too.” My attitude left Jeremiah at a loss as he glanced at me. “Ms. Chloe, I suggest you think twice before making a regretful decision.” I frowned at his words and retorted, “Are you threatening me?” I knew he was merely Martin’s middle-man. Jeremiah would fail if he couldn’t secure my attendance. As expected, he becapprehensive toward my displeasure. “Ms. Chloe, please don’t misunderstand me.

“Mr. Marting doesn’t invite just anyone for a meal. If anyone else wishes to dine with him, they must have the right connections.

Don’t be so arrogant if you want the project.” I noticed the twas right, asking, “Where will it be?” When I relented, Jeremiah perked up and said, “That’s the right choice! A wise person always understands practicality and never suffers from losses. We’ll see you in Acacia Hall at Feusaka Hotel at six in the evening.” “You can go now,” I said as I slammed the door shut. Immediately after, I wondered who would be the most suitable to bring with me. It would be great if Carol were here.
