Billionaire Ex-wife: I Can't Live Without You
Chapter 1609

“Okay.

As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes met her angry gaze.

He realized his slip and quickly added, “Okay, Miss Turner.

”

He turned and left.

Not wanting to inconvenience anyone, he Lugged his chair and desk into the office himself.

Meanwhile, a female assistant, Adela Schultz, who stood outside Jennifer’s office, offered to help.

“Do you need assistance?”

Without lifting his gaze, Hilliard coldly declined, “No, I don’t.

As he made multiple trips in and out of the office to bring in his belongings, the door remained ajar.

Jennifer’s expression darkened upon hearing Adela’s offer.

However, Adela, who was standing outside the door, remained oblivious to Jennifer’s anger.

Her attention was fixed on Hilliard.

His good looks and the fact that he was still single, as mentioned in his resume, piqued her

interest.

Eagerly approaching Hilliard, she fetched a tissue and said, “You’re sweating.

Let me help you wipe it off.

”

Jennifer’s impatience in the office was palpable.

She questioned, “Why are you taking so long? It’s just moving some desks and chairs!

If you delay my work, both of you will be fired!”

“I apologize, Miss Turner.

I’ll return to work immediately,” Adela replied, fear evident in her voice.

With the troublesome woman gone, Hilliard completed his task in just ten minutes and shut the door.

His desk faced in a different direction than Jennifer’s, so he had to turn his head if he wanted to see her.

But Jennifer had no such inconvenience.

She could observe his every move by merely lifting her head.

This marked the first time they had been alone in the same room since they met.

A subtle emotion stirred in her heart.

In the past few days, she had sensed Hilliard’s seriousness and determination to win her back.

But she wasn’t about to give in easily.

Jennifer wanted to make it clear that she was not an easy girl.

She was proud, and he would have to put in significant effort to court and value her.

If Hilliard couldn’t endure this period, he was not the right man for her, and she would cut all ties with him.

As Jennifer worked, she pondered these thoughts.

For the next hour and a half, the only sounds in the office were the clicking of their keyboards.
