In the administrative office area of the Kinsey Building, the shredder was emitting its working "whoosh" sound.
Nancy Yates, with her exquisite makeup and fitted blouse and skirt, accentuating her alluring figure, clicked her way to her office in 9cm high heels, back straight and chin up!
Her presence stirred the public office area into a flurry of activity, with an endless stream of phone calls in various languages suddenly filling the air.
The sound of high heels clicking urgently yet steadily on the gray carpet came from the secretarys office. Amy King, catching up with Nancy, slightly out of breath but still concise, said, "Nancy, your express delivery!"
Nancy extended her hand without looking, her gaze fixed ahead and her pace unbroken.
Amy handed over the package to Nancy.
Nancy glanced at Amys expression, then at the senders column on the package, and arched an eyebrow with a light smile.
Mr. North Chu?
The name currently existing in name only in her spouse column.
Despite no interaction after marriage, since the third month of registration, without fail, every month brought an express package containing a signed and fingerprinted "Divorce Agreement."
Nancy opened the express package to see the familiar table of contents, signature, and fingerprint. She shrugged disdainfully and fed the document into the shredders slot, the output now unrecognizable.
She brushed her hands as if to remove non-existent dust, "Amy, coffee. Also, bring over the report from the Indonesian Factory."
Amy nodded and turned, "Right away."
Nancy had just settled into her offices executive chair when the desk phone rang. She leaned forward, picked up the receiver, and answered, "Hello, Kinsey."
"Ms. Yates, I am Mr. Chus attorney. We hope you can sign, otherwise, we have no choice but to sue." The lawyers tone was polite.
Nancys eyebrows flickered, her words polite but tone casual, "Then please have Mr. Chu sue."
"Oh, and could you also tell Mr. Chu, I am his in life and in death, theres no need to send the divorce agreement more punctually than my period, its really not very environmentally friendly."
The lawyer on the other end was nearly speechless from her jesting tone, but Nancy didnt even offer a goodbye, hanging up the phone directly.
Amy, as usual, organized the days print media and brought it into Nancys office.
The headline boldly declared, "Capital Citys Powerhouse North Chu Publicly Severs Ties with His Father, Successfully Takes Over Chu Real Estate Today!"
The large bold font was hard to miss.
Should she call her husband to congratulate him?
Ha!
But what was his phone number again?
They were truly a model couple, never arguing, a perfect example of harmony.
Thinking she wouldnt receive the divorce agreement until next month, only a week passed when Nancy received a court summons.
She was being sued!
After two years of separation, North Chu requested the court to enforce a divorce.
North杈癈hu, are you serious this time?
However, if this wife doesnt want to divorce, what can you do?
On the matter of divorce, Nancy always followed one rule鈥攖o delay!
Besides delaying, it was still delaying!
Accustomed to receiving the divorce agreement like a monthly period, suddenly receiving a summons was quite unusual.
Was it because her attitude towards the lawyer on the phone was poor, hurting his pride? Did he get angry and want to settle the matter directly?
Ah!
The explosive temper of northerners is really not cute at all, and they dont know how to be gentle.
With the summons here, can this matter still be delayed?
Meet the challenge head-on and deal with it as it comes.
Thinking this in her heart, she still began to be vigilant, not waiting to be caught off guard.
Nancy lifted her arm and pressed the intercom on her desk, "Amy, gather information on famous divorce lawyers in Capital City."
"Sure, Nancy!"
"Have it for me first thing tomorrow morning."
"Will do."
"The schedule for today is clear, Im leaving work early, handle the rest."
"Dont worry."
Nancy hung up the phone and left work an hour early.
Her car pulled into the underground parking lot of Honest Department Store, and after getting out, she took the elevator directly to the -1st floor, Baby World.
The toys, clothes, and milk powder here were all imported.
Nancy, carrying her handbag and holding packs of wet wipes, carefully compared the ingredients before finally choosing two packs.
After purchasing the wipes, Nancy drove home.
The car had just turned onto the road when it started to get stuck in traffic.
Fortunately, there were endless calls to pass the time during the frustrating evening peak.
When the car turned into Cedar Garden, it was already six oclock.
She pressed the elevator for the 9th floor, and as it ascended, Nancy began to look for her keys. By the time the elevator doors opened, she had the key ready in her hand, the bow facing outward.
The door lock clicked and clicked as it turned.
