Even though Andy spoke with impatience, I couldn't help but agree with her logic. Watching the tension between the two of them, I felt no joy in the drama unfolding. It was just noisy. So, I decided to interrupt their exchange.
"Actually, you could give me the documents, and I'll pass them on to Selena. She's resting right now, so it's best not to disturb her. If you have anything to discuss with her, just tell me, and I'll relay the message," I said.
I looked at Andy and made an effort to appear polite.
"Who are you? What's your connection to Selena?" Andy asked, her expression filled with confusion.
"Hello, I'm Selena's husband, Hudson Davenport." Although I was reluctant, I had to clarify my relationship with Selena in front of her.
"So you're Selena's husband, the president of Advanced Technology?" Andy seemed surprised, scrutinizing me for a moment before turning to Zion as if to confirm my identity.
Zion was visibly annoyed but chose to turn away from me, remaining silent. However, sometimes silence spoke volumes, which meant he acknowledged my status.
"Your title as president means you must have some capability. I'd appreciate it if you could take a look at this contract and see if there are any issues." With that, she handed me the briefcase.
I opened it to find a stack of documents filled with dense text.
Seeing her hand me the files didn't please Zion. He continued to wear a scowl as he watched us.
"You don't need to worry. I've known for a while," I said to Andy, calmly explaining without mentioning my plans for divorce.
"Wait, did you just say you've known all along?"
I nodded, reluctantly confirming her assumption. Andy looked taken aback, her expression a mix of surprise and intrigue.
Perhaps she was amazed at my composure. Knowing my wife was with someone else and still managing to stay calm must have been unexpected for her.
But I couldn't exactly tell her I had already submitted my application for divorce. Some things were best kept private, and this was one of them.
