Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 1253 They're Not the Same

Stella was standing at the entrance of the company building. When she saw Raeleigh smiling, her eyes flashed slyly. She turned around and walked into the building.

Raeleigh stood outside for a while, pondering about some things. She then turned around and walked towards the road. As she was about to leave, Flynt stopped his car in front of her. "Why, you've just arrived at work and now you want to leave?" Flynt asked her this as he got out of his car.

Raeleigh looked around. "What are you doing here?"

"Just passing by. I'm on a job hunt."

"You're looking for a job?" Raeleigh was surprised to hear this.

"Yeah, what of it? Will you take care of me if I don't?" Laughing, Flynt then opened the door to the backseat of the car. "Get in the car."

"No, thanks. I'll take a cab."

"It's a hassle to get a taxi. Just get in the car. I have somewhere to go. Help me out here." After listening to him for a while, she decided to sit in the car.

Flynt started the car and drove down a couple of roads.

Raeleigh looked around from inside the car and asked, "Are you heading to the suburbs?"

"Nope, not the suburbs. I spotted a few car workshops just ahead. I wanted to check them out. Care to come with me? You could give me your input, maybe?" "You're getting into the business of car workshops?"

"Right, I've met with several of these family owned workshops, and they've all rejected me. Once I showed them my ID card, they all refused me on the spot," Flynt said this while smiling. Raeleigh kept quiet. Flynt was always being looked down upon. It must have been very difficult for him to even try getting work. Never mind what others think of him, even his own family made it difficult for him.

"Why don't you go overseas? You'll have a better chance than here. Even if you'd rather not work, you'd still be able to develop new skills elsewhere."

Raeleigh said this in passing as she got out of the car.

Flynt stepped out of the car and replied, "I don't want to leave this place. There are people I care about here. Things won't be the same if I leave. People can't help being where they are sometimes. I want to pick myself up in the very place I fell down. It's for my dignity's sake as a man."

Flynt strode past several car workshops. Raeleigh had trouble reconciling his earlier words with his character. She stood back and watched him.

It was hard to tell whether he was telling the truth. Nevertheless, seeing him standing there, looking so depressed, she felt pity for him.

"Let's go." Flynt turned around and looked at her. Raeleigh didn't want to leave. She then looked around and asked him,"Are you positive you want to do this?"

"I know how to fix cars." After saying that, Flynt walked forward. She then asked,

"But I don't. I know nothing about business."

"I don't want you to run the business. I want you to see if the design of the place is good."

Raeleigh was rooted to the spot for a moment before she then walked forward.

When she opened the door, Flynt was asking the landlord about rent. He then talked about the size and the total square footage of the unit as well as it's other facilities. He asked a lot of questions. Raeleigh wasn't clear about the rental. She stood aside and kept quiet. Only when Flynt asked her about the design of the exterior did she dispense her opinion.

Raeleigh felt a little tired after standing for the entire morning. When she got back into the car, her phone rang.

It was Jepherson who was calling.

She guessed that maybe he had already returned to the company and hadn't seen her, and that was why he decided to call.

"Hello."

"Where are you?" As expected, he got right to the point. She frowned. "I'm busy with some stuff outside."

"Stella told me you left soon after you saw her, is that so?"

She breathed out a sigh of relief. "I forgot to ask for a day off today. That's my fault. I'm sorry."

After saying that, she hung up the phone. Flynt had just come back with some food when her phone started ringing again.

He had just sat down in the car when he noticed that she was ignoring her phone. He asked, "Is it Jepherson?"

She looked up at him and saw the hot, steaming bun in his hand. She took it and said, "I'd really appreciate it if you butt out of this."

Smiling, he handed a cup of hot coffee to her. He then turned around and frowned.

As Raeleigh was eating her bun, Jepherson sent her a text message explaining things about Stella. He repeatedly mentioned that there wasn't anything going on between them. They were just friends, like brother and sister.

But Raeleigh ignored them. She turned off her cell phone and spoke to Flynt for a while. They then went to two other workshops that afternoon and finally found a satisfactory car dealer.

They agreed to settle the business for 200, 000 dollars, but they needed to sign the agreement that afternoon. It seemed a little rash. 200, 000 dollars was a cosmic amount for her.

"Don't you want to chew on it?" she asked Flynt just as he was about to sign the contract. He shook his head and said, "This money was originally meant for my sister. I had a few good friends when I was abroad. I opened a workshop with them. I was responsible for post-sale maintenance and I also earned a little money.

I also bought a house and planned to give it to my sister, but there's no chance of that now. I don't even know where she is. It's better to use the money now and return it to her later."

She felt that Flynt was playing the family card and using it to justify his decision, but it seemed like he had his mind set, so she didn't say anything.

Flynt signed the contract and transferred the money. Everything happened so fast after that. Raeleigh had never seen someone manage things so quickly...

She had seen how systematic and hardworking Jepherson was, but this was on a whole other level.

Everyone wanted to be first. This also gave people the impression that Jepherson was capable.

Flynt was different. Raeleigh could not see any of that in him, and all she saw was the unhappy expression on his face.

At eight o'clock that evening, Raeleigh called Xanthus to tell him that she would be home soon, to which he said he would wait for her.

As she entered through the door, Xanthus stood up. He didn't expect that there would be another person with her. When he noticed that it was Flynt, his expression changed. Jepherson had called earlier, asking about Raeleigh, but he hadn't answered and had simply hung up the phone. He didn't think that anything bad had happened. "What took you so long?"

Xanthus went to prepare some food. Raeleigh changed into her slippers and followed him. The two of them talked about their day in the kitchen. Xanthus fiddled with the dishes and said to her,"I'll only allow this once. Don't come back this late again. I'm setting the curfew at six o'clock."

Raeleigh felt amused as she noticed that her brother was about to lose his temper.

"I know," Raeleigh said as she walked behind him. Xanthus turned towards her and said, "The Cole family is very different from the Harvey family. They're not the same people."

"I know that you are worried, and I am too, but... sometimes I like to believe that people can change. Not to mention..."

Raeleigh smiled cunningly. Xanthus said, "A horse is a horse, they can't be a human being."

"If you like that horse enough, you will turn a blind eye to its mistakes. I think..."

Raeleigh smiled. "I rest my case. I'll get going now."

After she said that, she left and placed the plate on the rack. Xanthus watched her leave and thought of Cynthia: "I wonder how she's doing right now?"
