THE DIVORCE GAMBIT From Dumped Wife to CEO's Forever novel Chapter 208

“Alright.”

Caitlin turned to Ms. Belinda. “Ms. Belinda, if there’s nothing else, I’ll head home now.”

Ms. Belinda nodded, her eyes warm with approval. “Go on, then. Get home safe.”

Celeste was waiting just outside for Caitlin.

As soon as Caitlin stepped out, Celeste hurried over, barely able to contain her curiosity. “Catie, what did Ms. Belinda want to talk to you about?”

“She wanted to discuss the speech,” Caitlin replied.

“A speech? Wait, you mean the big one? In front of the whole school?” Celeste’s eyes widened.

Caitlin nodded slightly. “Yeah, that’s the one.”

Celeste immediately pressed on, “Catie, aren’t you nervous?”

Central Academy had twenty-five senior classes, thirty junior classes, and twenty-eight freshman classes—over 4,500 students and staff in all.

Just picturing the scene made Celeste’s scalp tingle.

Caitlin shrugged, her tone relaxed. “I’m alright. I’ll just go with the flow when the time comes.”

Celeste grinned. “Catie, you’ve got this! I’ll be in the crowd cheering you on tomorrow.”

“Thanks.”

Caitlin lived in Willow Manor now, so getting home was a breeze. She and Celeste walked out of campus together, and it wasn’t long before they reached the gates of Willow Manor.

“I’m heading in, March,” Caitlin said.

Celeste waved. “See you tomorrow, Catie!”

“See you.”

Senior year classes didn’t let out until after six.

When Caitlin got home, Fortune had already set the table. “Catie, how was your first day back at school? Settling in alright?”

“I’m getting the hang of it,” Caitlin replied.
