My Second Husband novel Chapter 444

Harley thought that there was no one else inside the private room.

Therefore, he lay on the sofa and looked at his mobile phone the moment he stepped into the room.

His phone started ringing a short while later. He picked it up.

"Yes?"

It was his colleague, a young girl in her early twenties. She was good at her work, thus everyone in the team treated her like a younger sister.

The connection in the private room was not very great. Hence, Harley turned on speaker mode.

The sweet voice of the little girl soon came from the other end of the phone, "Harley, they told me that you went out with some girl today! Is that true? I'm so sad!"

Their team members would usually joke around like this.

Harley answered nonchalantly, "Don't worry. I won't forget you even if I were to go out with other girls!"

Just then, footsteps could be heard from outside the door. Harley thought that someone was coming in, hence he turned off speaker mode, "Can I help you with anything?"

"It's about the case that you're dealing with right now. Hand it over to me once you come back, okay? Alright, I'll talk to you later!"

Harley's gaze fell on Thea's profile picture on his screen. He frowned slightly.

He wondered what she had been up to recently. Could she still be seeing that terrible man?

A wave of anger rose from Harley's belly at the thought of that man. He vaguely recalled that the man's name was Finley. Honestly, what kind of name was that? Harley was certain that he was much better than Finley in terms of appearance or capability in work.

He couldn't believe that Thea would fancy such a man.

"D*mn, this woman must be blind!"

Harley said bitterly.

At this moment, he heard flushing from the washroom in the private room. Harley froze for a second, then got up and sat straight.

The next second, he saw Thea pushing the door open and coming out from the washroom.

They looked at each other, and tension filled the air.

Harley was the first to speak. He acted nonchalantly and greeted, "It's you! Long time no see!"

Thea smiled in return, "It's been a while."

The two of them soon took their seats at the table. The atmosphere became awkward again all of a sudden.

Harley took out his mobile phone and started to play the games on it. After a while, the sound effects from the game bellowed across the room. "Great!"

"Amazing!"

"Unbelievable!"

Thea was the first to speak amid the noise.

"How have you been?"

Harley's hands trembled and he almost dropped his phone.

Although he was playing games on his mobile phone, Harley had been looking at Thea out of the corner of his eye. She had become much skinnier and she was no longer as mischievous as she used to be.

Harley frowned and asked, "You don't look very good. Have you found that?"

In fact, he wanted to say, "Have you found that sc*mbag?"

However, he changed his mind at a second thought.

"Ah... I found him!" Thea answered. In fact, she didn't know why she had said that. Her mind was filled with the sweet girly voice that she had just heard in the bathroom.

It seemed that it didn't take long for him to get a new girlfriend.

Harley's face darkened. Then, he chuckled and said, "Congratulations. Is he still working in that industry?"
