Boss, Your Ex-Wife is Unreachable Now! novel Chapter 370

Ever since she completed her work on the stealth drone project, she hadn't seen Maurice.

The moment he saw Willow flexing her relationship on Instagram, he immediately dialed her number.

"Are you seriously dating someone?" Maurice didn't waste time on pleasantries. "Who on earth managed to get you to open up again?"

"You either send me a clear front-facing picture so I can inspect him, or the two of you buy me dinner so I can judge him in person."

"Pick one. There is no option three."

Faced with Maurice's rapid-fire demands, Willow stared at her phone, completely speechless.

Seeing her expression, Waller quickly shot her a questioning look to ask if everything was okay.

Willow shook her head, then pressed a finger to her lips, motioning for him to stay quiet.

Waller understood and discreetly stepped out onto the balcony.

The apartment complex Willow chose really was spectacular, boasting incredible sunlight and a fantastic view.

He stood on the balcony looking out at the scenery, but his sharp hearing still picked up every word of Willow's side of the conversation.

"I'm busy right now, I'll call you back later," Willow said, deliberately lowering her voice.

"Busy with what?" Maurice lowered his voice to match hers. "Being all secretive... don't tell me you're..."

"No!" Willow rubbed her temples, her voice instinctively rising.

"Then you must be busy dating?" Maurice's tone snapped back to normal, looping right back to his original point.

Willow subconsciously glanced toward the tall figure on the balcony.

They had played a fake couple in their past life, but back then, only Waller's family was in on it. This time, the roles were completely reversed, and only her friends knew.

Thinking about it now, it was pretty ironic.

"Are you just incredibly bored lately?" Willow asked.

"You hit the nail on the head," Maurice drawled, sounding utterly lifeless. "No new assignments, no love life to speak of. I'm practically rotting away."

"Aren't you getting any orders for your side business?" Willow asked.

"Nothing that challenges me. I got sick of the easy stuff a long time ago," Maurice complained.

Willow was rendered completely speechless by the comment.

"I'll send you a blueprint later. If you can forge the piece successfully, I'll buy you dinner, and you can give him your seal of approval while we're at it."
