No Divorce For Us Mrs Godfrey

Walking like an Apple on everyone's eye, Vincaster had always made the ladies' eyes turn to a heart one. Even with a straight domineering cold aura, the girls still wanted to catch a glimpse of their devilishly drop-dead-gorgeous boss.

He was on his way from a board of trustees meeting back to his office, but he had to stop for a moment to answer the phone. Then, seeing his secretary's name assured him that it was an urgent situation, something related to the Liverteo's Foundation.

"What's wrong? Have you dine-in with the girl I asked you to date in place of me?" Vincaster asked.

"Yes, I successfully made her lose interest in you."

"Good job. By the way, where are you right now? Also, why do you sound troubled when we already solved the blind dates crisis?" He asked while grabbing the door to unlock his office.

"I'm here in your office, and we have a situation here," Daniel replied.

"Situ-" he dropped the call and lost the momentum to finish his statement. He furrowed his eyebrows as soon as his gaze met the chairman's eye.

"What are you doing here again, Chairman?" Vincaster asked without hiding his annoyed face towards the guy with hair that speaks his old age.

"Can't you greet this dying grandpa of yours with a warm smile?"

"You expect me to smile at a guy who is forcing me to get married? Seriously, grandpa, you already set me up to 15 dates as soon as I ascended as LV's CEO," says Vincaster as he sat on the opposite chair where chairman is. "Think whatever you want, I will bring her to meet you."

"Hearing you confidently say that makes me feel better," the chairman replied.

"That's good to hear. You have to live longer and wait for your great-grandchild, you hear me?"

Vincaster might sound mad and irritated with his grandpa, but it doesn't mean he doesn't love him. In fact, he was concerned with his health. Vincaster is worried sick that his grandpa might die too early if he kept on brushing off his dying wish.

"Dan, escort Chairman to his home."

Vincaster sat on his swivel chair after his grandpa and his secretary left. He massaged his forehead to release the accumulated stress from work and personal life struggle. Talking about marriage stresses him out, but he can't refuse his grandpa's wish, especially now that the only family he had has numbered months to live.

His eyes were just about to close when all of a sudden, his phone rang. He slides his finger on the phone screen to answer the call.

"Are you up for a drink tonight?"

It took him a minute to agree. Honestly, he is not fond of drinking in the bar because it was a waste of time. But this time, he considered it as a remedy to distract himself.

Meanwhile, Serina was staring blankly, holding a glass of Bacardi 151. Then her friend scolded her for taking so much time staring at the glass instead of sipping it.n Vincreste was seated.

"And you ditched all of them. Caster, I wanted to see you settle with a woman and create your own family before I vanish in this world. Can't you do me a little favor? I can't rest in peace knowing that you are still that unpassionate guy. You need a woman to warm your heart and also your bed." The chairman giggled after seeing the disgusted expression of his grandchild.

"I told you, I am waiting for a certain girl to marry me. You don't need to bother yourself finding me a woman," Vincaster replied. He obviously utters words out from his nose.

"You have used that excuse for the last few months. When can I meet this special girl who made my precious boy wait? You are referring to that girl you used to date during your high school days, weren't you?"

Vincaster ran his palm on his face, and he even signed before replying, "That girl and I had broken up a long time ago, and I warned you not to mention her again. Also, don't even mention her in front of my girl. Fine, I will ask her to meet you at least, but I can't guarantee you that she'll say yes immediately." Lies after lies, he kept on blabbering excuses. He knew the thought that grabbing whoever girl he could present to his grandpa was his last resort.

"Alright, I'm giving you at least a month. If you still insist on making excuses, I would think that you aren't going out with a woman but simply using an imaginary girl to avoid blind dates."

"We didn't come here to stare at the bottle of liquor. Why don't you sip it already?" says Psyche, a college friend of Serina and co-faculty at Liverteo Highschool academy.

"I can't afford this drink. Let's go home." She stood up and was about to leave, but her best friend was fast enough to catch her wrist.

"I did not drag you here to pay for your drinks, it's on me, so you don't have to worry about the price. We are here to unwind. Let your frustration go with the music and alcohol. Tonight, we are not professional but only human." Psyche grabbed her wrist and dragged her back to the sofa.

"Come on. I know how much you wanted to cry because your one-sided love finally ended today." Psyche added.

Hearing those statements had added salt to her already wounded heart. Her best friend did not lie tho. Indeed, the one-sided love she had for Xavier finally ended today.

Xavier was Serina's childhood friend. He was her crush ever since they were young. She thought there would be a chance for Xavier to see her more than his friend, but it turned out the woman he was interested in was Serina's older sister.

"So, when are they going to get married?" Psyche asked, but Serina threw a glare in return.

"That bitch dared to get pregnant without even contributing to pay our parents' debt and grandmother's hospital fee," she replied after emptying her glass of Bacardi.

Psyche bit her lower lips as she realized her question must have hurt her best friend. Suddenly Serina burst into tears while sipping directly in the bottle instead of pouring the Bacardi into the shot glass.

Serina stood up and went to the door, she grabbed the doorknob to open the door. Then, Psyche immediately stopped her from leaving again. Her intention was to let Serina meet a new guy. She thought that her friend should try dating for real to discard her long one-sided love. They were outside of the room Psyche had paid for, when a 6ft tall guy caught her attention.
