Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 1287 Couldn't Forget

"Take the documents. Don't you know what the plan is right now? I'll head over later."

Raeleigh believed Santiago wholeheartedly. As for what he wanted to do, she had no idea.

Despite her concerns, Raeleigh hurriedly grabbed some documents and stood up. She was aware that her presence would only be a challenge and provocation towards Jepherson. Therefore, it was unlikely that any fruitful discussion would occur. The only thing she would do would be to anger Jerpherson.

With that, Raeleigh had nothing else to hesitate about and would do whatever Santiago asked her to do.

She turned around and went towards the door. Stepping out, she asked Santiago, "Are you sure you'll come?"

Santiago was looking at the computer when he heard her. He froze for a moment and said, "If I don't go and leave you alone to handle the situation, will you be afraid?"

Raeleigh kept quiet. She wasn't afraid, but she would feel a lot safer if Santiago was here.

After turning around and closing the door, Raeleigh held the file in her hands and walked towards the elevator. She opened the elevator and was promptly caught off guard.

Unexpectedly, Jepherson was standing inside. Raeleigh's breathing grew heavy as she didn't expect this.

"Mr. Harvey," Raeleigh greeted him distantly and politely.

Jepherson's handsome face showed a hint of displeasure as he scowled, "Why are you still so polite to me?"

Raeleigh pursed her lips, "I wonder why you're here. You have a private elevator."

As Raeleigh refused to step in, the doors were about to close. Jepherson gritted his teeth, waiting for her to press the button to reopen the doors but Raeleigh didn't. Upon seeing that the elevator doors were about to close, he quickly pressed the button, and the doors opened again.

His gaze focused on Raeleigh slowly grew impatient.

"Come in."

Raeleigh considered this for a moment before denying politely, "I still have something to do. Please go ahead, Mr. Harvey. I will be right there in a while."

In a haste, Raeleigh walked away. Jepherson was so angry that his expression darkened. He gritted his teeth and wanted to chase after her, but his phone rang at that very moment.

He took out his phone and hesitated to step out, but eventually walked out of the elevator.

Meanwhile, Raeleigh thought that Jepherson had already left. She breathed out a sigh of relief and finally escaped from the situation.

Jepherson didn't follow her. With that, Raeleigh calmly pushed the fire escape door open and decided to take the stairs.

Compared to facing Jepherson, it was better for her to leave via the stairs.

At that moment, Jepherson was going to knock on Lamarre's office door, but when he stepped out of the elevator, he saw Raeleigh taking the stairs. The fire escape door closed with a thud. Looking at the closed doors, Jepherson quickly finished his call and turned towards the stairs. He pushed the door open and looked inside. He could no longer see her, but footsteps could be heard. Walking down the stairs, Jepherson's face looked grim. In order to avoid taking the elevator with him, she had chosen to take the stairs to the conference room. Fortunately, the conference room was situated on the middle floors of the building, if it was downstairs...

Jepherson narrowed his eyes. If that was the case, she'd definitely be exhausted.

Raeleigh was reading the documents intently as she walked down the stairs. She was so focused on them that she didn't notice that someone had followed her down. The minute she heard footsteps behind her, she turned around in curiosity, only to find Jepherson already approaching her.

Raeleigh felt uncomfortable. She didn't expect him to approach her so silently.

At first, she was shocked and her face turned pale.

However, she didn't try to hide but instead tried her best to calm herself down.

"Mr. Harvey."

"Hmph!" Jepherson snorted. He didn't know what to say. Looking at Raeleigh's overalls, he pulled at the tie around his neckline and unbuttoned his collar in a fit of annoyance.

He spoke in a low voice, "I never knew you had a habit of taking the stairs."

Raeleigh was stunned for a moment, then she pursed her lips. When she was alone with him, she was somewhat afraid of him. They were so different in terms of strength that he could do whatever he wanted with her.

"You came here in order to hide from me. However, there are no places for you to hide in my building. If there was, I'd reckon you'd hide in it and never show yourself in front of me."

Jepherson sounded ominous. Raeleigh didn't know what to do with him as he was the boss. What could a subordinate do to him?

Therefore, she chose to keep silent. He looked at her and demanded, "Are you trying to piss me off?"

Lifting her head, she muttered, "Mr. Harvey, it's time. Let's go."

Jepherson looked at her with his bottomless black eyes. A short moment later, he asked, "There are over a dozen floors left to go. Are you really going to lead someone like me down this path?" Raeleigh froze for a moment. Someone like him?

"What's there to be surprised about? I'm the president of the Harvey family, but I'm also a young man. I'm not that old, am I? Am I not worthy of that title?" Jepherson barraged Raeleigh with a series of questions, leaving her speechless. She didn't say anything for a long time. After a while, she uttered, "No." "No. So, do you want to leave or not?" Jepherson stared at Raeleigh with his hands clasped behind his back, as though he could see right through her. After a while, Raeleigh sighed, "Please follow me."

Jepherson took a step forward. As he did, he observed his surroundings and suddenly asked, "Why are you all alone?"

Raeleigh was thinking of an answer, but she couldn't think of one. The best answer she had was the truth.

"Lamarre has resigned."

The minute Raeleigh said that, Jepherson stopped in his tracks. He looked at Raeleigh with a perplexed look on his extremely handsome face and frowned, "He's resigned?"

"That's right."

Raeleigh didn't wait for an answer and continued walking. She thought it was more appropriate to act this way.

When Raeleigh walked away, Jepherson asked, "Who made him resign?"

"The general manager." That was what Santiago said, so Raeleigh just told Jepherson truthfully.

"The general manager?" Jepherson frowned, "The role of the General Manager is vacant..."

As he spoke, Jepherson could only chuckle, "Oh, I see."

Gritting his teeth, Jepherson fell silent. Raeleigh turned around and carefully looked at Jepherson, waiting for him to lose his temper. Instead, he just walked away without saying a word, his hands still clasped behind his back.

Raeleigh felt weird because this was out of her expectations.

After they walked to the seventh floor, Raeleigh began to sweat. Besides, Jepherson also noticed that she was clearly tired and could not really walk anymore.

"Can you still walk?"

He stopped and stared at her. Shaking her head, she said, "No, I'm fine."

"You don't have the strength to continue climbing the stairs. Why do you insist on show off?" As Jepherson said this, he bent down and picked Raeleigh up. She let out a cry of surprise. There were so many things in her arms. If she let them go, she would drop everything. If not, she would have to accept her fate of being carried.

While in a dilemma, Raeleigh looked at him and said, "Put me down."

"You can't walk. I'll take you downstairs."

Jepherson walked downstairs, his mind in turmoil. Similarly, Raeleigh was flustered. Should she struggle and drop all her documents? Or should she just lay quietly in his arms?

Jepherson spoke while he held Raeleigh, "Grandma threatened me with your safety. On the night Santiago came back, someone blocked me on the road. I called Stuart to get out of the car, but we were thoroughly hindered. I couldn't get to you."

"She wants me to marry Stella. You know that I love you, but I want to fight for time and think of a way out of this."

Raeleigh lowered her gaze. She already knew all of this, but she really couldn't do anything. Their unborn baby was a thorn in her heart. She couldn't forget the incident, even until now.
