Chapter 266
Valerie’s heart was pounding. She rode on a scooter and enjoyed the cold wind for a while before calming down.
However, when she thought about what to do tonight, she could not help but feel her scalp tingle. It would not be good if Aiden saw through her. A child’s heart was fragile and sensitive. Valerie could not help but shake her head. Fortunately, Aiden did not ask any strange questions on the way.
After sending Aiden to school, Valerie turned around and went to the company. It was still early, and she rode slowly.
On the way, she received a call from Katherine, asking if she was free today. She said that she wanted Valerie to help her with the shop.
Valerie remembered the shop. Katherine bought a loft on Ashland Street. She had originally planned to give it to Caleb as a venue for his e–sports team. After that scumbag Caleb cheated, the plan naturally fell through. However, because the shop had already been bought, it had been left untouched.
Katherine said quickly, “Valerie, I want to reorganize the shop and open a shop to do it myself.”
Valerie was surprised. “You want to do it yourself?”
Katherine chuckled. “Yes, I’ve resigned for so long. I also want to find something to do. Coincidentally, I took some money from my brother. It can be used as startup capital. I want to open a hop, but I don’t know what to sell at the moment. Valerie, I want you to help me.”
Hearing Katherine’s words, Valerie was relieved. She knew that Katherine had completely gotten over Caleb.
Katherine added, “By the way, Valerie, why don’t you come over and work with me? You know how to do business, so I don’t have to worry if I work with you. If I don’t know anything, you can teach me!”
“I…” Valerie did not know whether to laugh or cry. “I just joined Noria Group, and I haven’t been able to take a break recently…”
Katherine was enlightened. “That’s right. I almost forgot that you’re pregnant. You can’t be too tired.
“Yes, that’s one aspect.” Apart from that, Valerie had other plans. It was not suitable for her to open a shop at the moment. Then, she recalled, “Katherine, your shop is opposite my brother’s fruit shop. Why don’t I tell my brother and ask him to help. you? He’s been there for a few years and is familiar with the surroundings. Let him take a look for you. I’ll give you some advice as well.” Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
However, there was silence on the other end of the line. Katherine had actually thought of looking for Julian. Julian was quite a reliable person, but she could tell from the previous few incidents that Julian really wanted to keep a distance from
her.
She knew that it was not because Julian hated her, but because he was already married, so he naturally kept a distance from other women. Katherine felt that he was very admirable. At the same time, she regretted that she could not be friends. with him. If she asked him for help again this time, it might still be the same as before. Katherine did not want to trouble him.
Hence, she could only reject. “Forget it. Julian is quite busy too. His fruit shop has so many customers all day long. It would be embarrassing if I delayed his business because of my matters.”
“That’s true,” Valerie said, “I almost forgot that my brother is also busy today and can’t help you. Why don’t you wait for me to get off work and I’ll go look for you?”
“Sure.” Katherine readily agreed, but Valerie’s last sentence also piqued her curiosity. Hearing Valerie’s worried tone, she could not help but ask, “Valerie, did something happen? Actually, I met Julian last night. He excitedly prepared a gift and said that he was going back to celebrate his wedding anniversary.”
Valerie’s expression turned cold when she heard this. She thought, ‘Ashley, is this how you treat the man who loves you?”
“He’s going to get a divorce today,” Valerie said simply.
Katherine was shocked when she heard that. Yesterday, Julian did not look like he was leaving with his wife.
She thought, ‘He kept a safe distance from me and his words were filled with happiness yesterday. He is going to get a divorce today. Isn’t this too ridiculous?‘
Valerie asked, “You met yesterday?”
Katherine immediately told her about how Julian helped her repair her car. Valerie
smiled bitterly when she heard that. “You two are really fated. After that, Julian happened to bump into Ashley cheating on him with a man when he returned home. The two of them had a big fight. Last night, Julian had already listed his place and went to get a divorce today.”
Katherine frowned when she heard that. “How dare she bring the man home to do that? Your sister– in–law is too disgusting…”
Valerie’s words made Katherine furious. She had always thought that Julian was an honest person with a good character. He had even saved her life. She did not expect his wife to be such a shameless woman. After being married for so many years, they had a child. However, they ended up in this situation. Katherine felt that Julian was in a more miserable situation than she was.
She could not help but feel angry. At the same time, she felt that Julian must be very sad to encounter such a thing. She thought for a moment and said, “By the way, Valerie, what’s the name of your brother’s shop?”
“Aiden Fruit Shop. It’s right across from your shop.” Valerie thought that Katherine wanted to discuss the shop with her brother, so she said, “He should be able to return to the shop at noon. Why don’t you wait for me to get off work and we’ll go over to Ashland Street together? I’ll help you see what kind of business you should do.”
“Yes, thank you Valerie.” After hanging up, Katherine decided to help Julian.
