After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 1138

"I’ll wait for you to come back," Jolie said softly before hanging up the call.

The phone let out a soft beep, and the beautiful girl on the screen disappeared.

Gavin frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure flickering across his face. She ended the call without letting him say anything. But as he replayed her soft words about waiting for him, the irritation quickly faded.

When his assistant walked in, the first thing he noticed was Gavin staring at his phone, an unreadable smile tugging at the corner of his lips.

The assistant froze, momentarily feeling as though he’d seen a ghost. Blinking hard, he looked again.

Phew!

It must have been his imagination. Gavin still wore his usual cold and impassive expression.

"Mr. Cooper, these are the proposals submitted by the planning department," the assistant said as he placed the documents on Gavin’s desk.

"Mm," Gavin acknowledged, immediately opening the files to review them.

"Mr. Cooper, I’ve also finalized your schedule for the next week," the assistant continued, laying out a detailed timetable in front of him. "Per your instructions, I’ve cleared as much time as possible, focusing the important matters over the next two days and deferring less urgent tasks until your return."

Gavin glanced at the schedule and gave a brief nod. "You’ve done well."

His schedule had been carefully packed into the mornings, which worked out perfectly. By the time she woke up, he’d already be finished with work.

Just then, the office door swung open abruptly.

Both Gavin and the assistant turned to see Wilfried stepping inside.

"Mr. Chairman," the assistant immediately greeted with respect.

Wilfried waved his hand, signaling the assistant to leave the office.

Gavin set his pen down. "Dad, what brings you here?"

Jolie hung up the phone, her mood soaring. She quickly began packing her things, then paused. Since he’d gone out of his way to help her, she figured she should do something in return.

Why not pick him up from work?

Once the idea struck her, Jolie changed into a fresh outfit, determined to surprise him. She grabbed a hat and sunglasses, slipped them on, and headed to the Cooper Enterprises building.

When she arrived, she sent a message to Gavin’s assistant, instructing him to come down and not inform Gavin.

The assistant appeared shortly after, visibly surprised to see her. "Miss Quin, what brings you here?"

Jolie beamed. "I’m here to pick up Mr. Cooper from work. Isn’t it about time he gets off?"

It was already early evening, with only thirty minutes left before the end of the workday.

The assistant chuckled and escorted her to the private elevator reserved for the CEO.
