She and Sebastian hadn't even divorced yet. More importantly, even if they were getting divorced, he should at least wait until she formally left the company before putting someone else in her chair!
"I'm still on my honeymoon leave. How could Sebastian do this?"
"Bella, Julian said that Mr. Blake is technically on honeymoon leave too, but he's already back at work.
Since the wedding plans changed, the leave was officially canceled. So your time off is void. Without an approved absence, you're considered truant.
And I heard rumors that Mr. Blake is planning to bring in someone entirely new to permanently take your position. Honestly, I think he really wants to div..."
Before the word 'divorce' could even fully leave Hannah's mouth, Bella unleashed a furious scream through the phone.
Bella was on the verge of a complete psychological breakdown. Everything she had painstakingly built was crumbling before her eyes.
But right now, the company wasn't her most pressing concern.
Her immediate plan had to succeed at every step, or she would truly be ruined.
Bella's voice turned ice-cold. "I don't care who sits in my chair right now. I have more important things to do. If it's truancy, fine. I can't afford to care about that right now.
But did you just say Sebastian is at the office?"
Hannah nodded. "Yeah, Bella, Mr. Blake is here. Weren't you looking for him all day yesterday? If you come back to the company now, you can catch him."
Bella didn't mention that she had already seen Sebastian last night. She knew her chances were entirely dead. Sebastian had made it explicitly clear he was divorcing her, and it seemed the legal proceedings were unavoidably moving forward.
Bella swallowed her pride. Since things had reached this point, divorce was her only option.
"I won't be coming into the office for now. Keep an eye on things for me. Don't worry, as long as you help me, I'll make sure you're well compensated."
With that, Bella hung up.
Back at the Blake Group, Hannah stared at her phone and let out a scoff of pure mockery.
