Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom

Grayson, who was sitting in the front, immediately turned around to look at me. "Ms. Chloe, are you going back to Nocturnia?" "Yes," I affirmed. "I want to see my family. This is something between me and Atlas. I won't let him face it alone."

"Looks like the capitalist is going to exploit someone again!" Ryan looked at me and said, "He has a convincing reason, too!"

"Do you have any objections?" I looked at Ryan provocatively.

But I secretly believed that Ryan would eventually need to take over this company entirely. I couldn't promise that I would be able to visit the company every day after giving birth to the baby, after all. And I couldn't guarantee that I would report to the company during the several months of pregnancy, either.

Ryan must have felt a little trapped.

"I don't have any objections, but I feel like I've boarded a thief's ship," Ryan said. "I can't get off now."

Grayson chuckled. "I'm afraid you'll never get off in this lifetime," he teased.

"Are you saying she's going to exploit me for a lifetime?"

"Don't worry. Soon, you'll rise from being under one person to being above ten thousand. Many people are eager to be exploited like that. Don't be so modest." Grayson glanced at Ryan. "But don't you think she's taking advantage of me?" Ryan asked Grayson.

"And don't you think you're taking advantage and playing hard to get?" Grayson bluntly retorted.

Everyone laughed. The atmosphere in the car was quite relaxed.

Our work atmosphere had always been relaxed. I knew that Ryan was just saying that. He was loyal to me, and he never complained.

If he did, it was be because he genuinely worried when he didn't see me for a few days.

He had given up superior conditions overseas and returned to Foswood, choosing a small company like mine. He was loyal, of course. How could he want to leave?

Besides, this was ATL Empire.

The car sped along. We arrived at New Bourdamun in the blink of an eye. Tall structures stood closely together like mushrooms after a rainstorm, and I was eager to visit the construction site first.

I didn't expect things to progress so quickly. It was already taking shape, standing firmly south of Old Bourdamun.

Our project had started as a whole,

and the road connecting New and Old Bourdamun was already complete. Every day, citizens of Old Bourdamun came to the new site to watch, showing genuine interest in the construction here.

They didn't want to miss any changes.

We looked around everywhere, and everything seemed to be in place. They were professionals indeed.

I saw Arton working at the construction site. He had become much more robust. He looked at me from afar but didn't come over to talk to me, indicating that he had cleverly not revealed our acquaintance. That reassured me.

John, who was also at the construction site, quickly rode over on his motorbike to see me after hearing that I had arrived. He was a lot more tanned.

"Ms. Chloe! I heard you were coming, so I came here specially to see you!" John pulled up on his motorbike in front of me and removed his helmet with a smile.

"You're here too?" I was a little surprised. "I didn't see you just now."

"I was inside the building. I've been here all this time. Construction is progressing quickly, and I'm afraid of any potential losses." John was very responsible. He pointed around us. "About one-third of it has already

been completed!"

"Only one-third?"

I was surprised. As I looked at the rows of buildings rising one after another, I thought that more than one-third had been completed. But there was still a long way to go before the overall completion. "Can I request something, Ms. Chloe?" John asked.

"Go on," I replied eagerly.

"I need a few more people. There's not enough of us here." John looked at me and said, "We can't neglect safe production and quality. The people who work under me are struggling to keep up with work on the construction site every day."

"Alright. I'll arrange for HR to recruit more people immediately," I said decisively.

"Before they start, they need to familiarize themselves with the various quality standards. They can start working after the assessment. Otherwise, I really won't be able to manage." John made his request. "Don't worry about it. I'll get them to develop a plan immediately, conduct some interviews, and provide training before the assessment," I assured John.

John didn't say much more. After speaking, he put on his helmet and rode his motorcycle back to the construction site in a flash.
