Chapter 3 No Desire To Renew The Contract
Chapter 3 No Desire to Renew the Contract
The night was long.
Ranita waited all night, but Brendon didn''te back.
As dawn approached, she was woken up by her rm clock after a brief nap.
She got ready quickly and put on her professional suit. To look better, she even put on some
makeup before rushing to Stuart''s Corp.
The project meeting with Nemotube Shipping Company went smoothly enough, but the intense
concentration made Ranita''s head ache a little bit. And for some reason today, she felt
ufortable in her stomach.
"Mr. Stuart, I have already organized the content of the meeting." Ranita ced the documents on
his desk and looked at his thin lips.
It''s said that people with thin lips are cold-hearted.
Brendon was indeed cold-hearted; that was why Ranita envied Shannon who could get tenderness
from him.
"I have highlighted what needs special attention," said Ranita as she withdrew her gaze and took a
few steps back to create some distance between them.
She was standing upright in her professional attire, which gave her more of an aggressive edge
than when she was submissive at home.
But no matter how different Ranita appeared in Brendon''s eyes, it didn''t matter much to him.
"I know. We need to entertain Mr. Bassett tonight for dinner and you need to attend," said Brendon
as he flipped through the files without looking up from them.
Ranita was an excellent trantor who could convert any sharpnguage into something
appropriate for any asion, which impressed Brendon greatly.
"Okay." Nodded Ranita before pausing briefly then pursing her lips as if hesitant before asking, "Mr.
Stuart, there is one more thing... I want to talk about it with you."
"What is it?" asked Brendon without lifting his eyes from the file again.
Ranita noticed his golden short hair spiraling upwards along with his full forehead while speaking
softly, "After this project ends with Nemotube, I hope not to renew my contract anymore."
Ranita had opened a trantion studio herself where Brendon signed a three-year contract allowing
her expertise in overseas projects as their simultaneous interpreter, but their marriage had ended so
should their work involvement too?
"Not renew your contract?" questioned Brendon seeming confused by such an immature decision
being presented by someone like Ranita. That caused him slight frown lines across his forehead,
"Working together with Stuart''s Corp will only benefit your studio."
Of course, Ranita knew that this decision would not be friendly towards her studio. But since they
were starting to cut off this rtionship, she did not want to get too close again! The human heart is
difficult to control, and she was already deeply trapped in the quagmire. She did not want to go any
further and fall into the abyss of no return!
Loving Brendon, in itself, was a mistake.
Ranita remained silent for a long time. Finally, Brendon looked up at her with his sharp and
indifferent eyes. He leaned back on the chair and spoke casually,Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.
"Ranita, you''re very professional and have good judgment when ites to work. Our personal
affairs shouldn''t affect our job." After pausing for a moment, Brendon took out the contract renewal
agreement from his drawer without giving Ranita any room to refuse like he didst night. "I don''t
want to hear this kind of talk again. You can leave now."
"Brendon..." Ranita was getting anxious but before she could finish her sentence, the door of the
nearby lounge opened and a slender woman called out softly to Brendon, "Brendon!"
"I didn''t interrupt your conversation with each other?" The woman who entered smelled sweetly of
perfume like a beautiful butterfly passing by.
Ranita had seen her on TV before - Shannon - the famous cellist who had been making waves in
recent years and also happened to be Brendon''s sweetheart.
