Eloise’s POV:
I put down my phone in despair. Atticus almost refused to communicate with me in any way, making it impossible for me to communicate with him.
“A few hours have passed. Unless he lost his phone and computer, he should be able to notice it,” I muttered as I picked up the pencil.
This sadness inspired me, and I had to record it.
‘He probably just didn’t hear your call.’ My wolf consoled me in my mind.
‘No, he’s trying to make me sadder.’ I sighed and closed my sketchbook.
He wouldn’t let me have an easy time. I firmly believed in this.
I could imagine him making those so-called excuses ‘for the sake of the pack’, but I know those things had nothing to do with me.
My departure from this place would not affect my life much. It was just a change of location to continue wandering.
Back in the original pack, I was an invisible person who lived in Lisa’s shadow. It was the same now. I didn’t think life would get any worse.
“In that case, you can only continue with your work. However, your income doesn’t need to be split with him because of the agreement, so this isn’t a bad thing.” Chloe flipped the document in front of her. I had no choice but to keep my phone further away from me. “But I still need to prepare for this. By the way, have you packed your luggage?”
“It’ll be ready soon.” I nodded.
I’d move to her apartment before I found another place to live. She lived in a human area. It didn’t matter as long as I could get a better life guarantee.
Before this, I’d rejected all of her invitations for different reasons, but now I had to consider it seriously.
However, there were still some things I must complete before leaving this place.
The mailbox icon suddenly lit up. An invitation letter appeared there, and at the same time, I received a confirmation call from them.
“You guys want me to attend?” I was a little surprised.
“Yes, this is a formal invitation. This is proof that you have officially joined our company.” The girl on the phone said gently.
I never thought that I would be able to appear on such an occasion, so of course, I was excited. However, I had to consider some other issues.
Nevertheless, Atticus would not go. After all, he had no interest in these things.
“Of course! I’ll prepare well.
I quickly agreed to her request and told Chloe about this.
“We all knew that you would succeed.” Chloe looked at me with a gratified expression. However, her expression immediately turned serious again.
“This is your dream, and you will be able to realize it. But no matter what, don’t let them leave any evidence.
Under the current circumstances, if I divorced Atticus, it’d most likely end up a court case. I knew what that meant.
I ended the video call. Even though I didn’t want to immerse myself in my memories, the truth was that the images that made me fall in love with Atticus were playing in my mind like a broken record.
By the time I realized it, I had already sent a call request.
Normally, he wouldn’t answer my call. But this time, someone answered my call.
“Atticus?” I asked in surprise. However, all I heard was a woman’s chuckle.
I quickly discovered a problem. The person on the other end of the phone wasn’t Atticus.
“How are you?” Lisa’s voice was heard from the other end of the phone.
“I just hope you won’t cause any more trouble for Atticus. You’ll only make him sadder. You’ve already caused him enough trouble.” Lisa’s voice was soft but extremely unpleasant to my ears.
I should have ignored the terrible experiences she brought me, but in reality, it was very difficult for me to do that.
“Alright, I shouldn’t have affected your beautiful lives.” I took a deep breath and smiled.
The relationship between these two people must be very good. It must be so!
She didn’t reply and just hung up. I also threw my phone on the bed. I didn’t want to think about this anymore.
The divorce had to be finalized as soon as possible..
