My Sugar And Your Spice

Chapter 6

“It’s your turn,” Amelie urged. Her eyes were sparkling. The smile on her face couldn’t be any wider as she signaled him with her chin to press the button to confirm. Opposite them were the employees watching them. The employees who walked past them also slowed down in anticipation of his response. Leo stared at her. Did she press the button to confirm the divorce because she felt that he would keep his promise to Bria to remain married to her? He slowly lifted his finger, which made Amelie nervous with wide eyes. I knew it. She’s been backed into a corner and is desperate now! She’s trying to force me to make her stay! Amelie never thought about that whatsoever. Her nervousness was a result of her wanting Leo to speed up because she didn’t want to be proclaimed that she was divorced under the public’s eagle eyes. It took Leo more than ten seconds to press the confirmation button! He thought that she would reveal her true colors and ask for the process to be stopped, but she never said a word until the end! His fingers curled in silence at this realization. At this moment, a crisp voice sounded in the air. “Leony.” Elyse, her face as bright as the sun, came over with her assistant. She just happened to watch the staff stamping the seal, after which the lady showed the divorce certificate to both Leo and Amelie. Then, Elyse gaped. “A-Are you really divorced?” Amelie pursed her curved lips in a mocking manner. Leo originally looked greatly annoyed, his movements as slow as a snail. But when Elyse came, he immediately agreed to confirm the divorce, which exemplified his great care for her. Elyse didn’t delve too deep on the matter, after which she held Leo’s arm. “I was in a rush and haven’t had my breakfast yet. I heard there’s this decent coffee shop nearby. Leony, do you mind accompanying me for breakfast?” Amelie was uninterested to see them displaying their affection, so she turned to leave. “Miss Dillon, would you like to join us?” Behind her came Elyse’s question. Looping her arm around Leo’s, she rested her head on his shoulder like a dainty lover. “Even if you guys are divorced, we can still be friends.” Amelie was well aware that Elyse was flaunting her victory, but she was not in the mood to humor her. She replied lightly, “Nah, I’m not in the habit of being divorced and remaining friends with my ex.” “Or you could leave your number?” the assistant behind Elyse suggested. “Elyse has an established network, so she knows a lot of people.

opportunity in the future, we will definitely recommend it to you. We won’t let your life be affected by the divorce.” “Hey, watch what you’re saying!” Elyse whispered softly, revealing zero pretentiousness. What a well-acted play… Amelie looked at Elyse and couldn’t help grinning. Know your place, Elyse Clayton. I alone can support hundreds by myself. Who are you to show concern for my quality of life? “Miss Clayton, you don’t have to worry about Amy’s life.” Before Amelie could say anything, a male voice interrupted. Immediately after, she felt something of decent heft landing on her shoulder. Someone grabbed her shoulder. “My monthly sales profit is more than enough to buy Bespoke Media ten times over and splurge on Amy. Even after that, there would be some balance.” Bespoke Media was Elyse’s current employer. Those words had done its part to sarcastically humiliate Elyse for overestimating her abilities. “M-Mr. White?” When she saw the man in front of her, her expression changed rapidly as her eyes widened in disbelief. “It’s you?” On the side was Leo, whose expression darkened as his gaze fell on the hand on Amelie’s shoulder. He finally understood that Amelie really wanted the divorce. And her reason was because of this man! There was no way she could get a man in such a short period of time, so she must have cheated during the marriage! Leo felt Amelie’s betrayal deeply and was even angrier than when he was forced to marry her! Elyse obviously felt his anger and her heart couldn’t help but race. “Let’s go.” Jamie refused to look at the others as he spoke to Amelie. She nodded. “Sure.” The two of them ignored everyone else as they left the building. Behind them were shocked employees who had witnessed the entire event. “Isn’t that the online live-selling streamer, Jamie White?” “He hit the jackpot last year, so Starlight Media had made a lot of money and turned him into a star.” “Now, everybody knows who he is. Everybody must have at least purchased one of his items, so his monthly sales are in the trillions!” “Not only that, but his father is the number two entrepreneur in our city. He’s a through and through nouveau riche!” Such a man was on par with Leo, if not comparable. Amelie had married into a rich family in the beginning, but she was now joining another rich family? Elyse balled her fists in silence. This woman ruined my marriage four years ago, but hasn’t even learned her lesson four years later. Instead, she’s caught the eye of such a perfect man like Jamie White? … “Julia asked you to come, right?” Once they had arrived at a quiet spot with no people, Amelie pushed Jamie aside and asked. Jamie’s face resembled a smiling puppy, which made him look adorable. “It has nothing to

do with her. I came on my own. What I said earlier was not a joke, though. We can get married now if you want!” “Oh, man. I don’t want your dad to come after me. There’s a beautiful life ahead of us, so I want to have a few more decades of peace.” Amelie looked very reluctant. They had been acquainted for years, so there was nothing they couldn’t talk about. Jamie chuckled and the two cracked innocuous jokes for a while before heading off on their separate ways. Amelie headed off to Starlight Media to search for Julia. “Jamie made a scene today, so keep your eyes and ears open. Something’s bound to happen.” Julia placed the tablet on the table. “It’s too late. Something has indeed happened.” When Amelie took the device and lowered her head to look, she sighed in annoyance at the content. Which busybody posted photos of my divorce from Leo as well as my friendship with Jamie on the internet so quickly? At least the other party had a conscience because her face was blurred out. Despite that, the photos were causing the incident to spread like wildfire on the internet. In less than 20 minutes, there were more than 300,000 people who had seen the post. Amelie only felt an impending headache. “Jamie White! Are you happy now that I’m in trouble?” Julia’s carefree action of placing her hand on Amelie’s shoulder came before she explained, “You should be well aware of Starlight Media’s PR capabilities. Don’t worry, I guarantee that everything will be alright.” “It’s just that you are divorced, so you can’t be in hiding forever.” Julia quickly shifted the topic to Amelie and continued, “How about we revive our old business? Everyone’s been missing you loads.” Amelie’s eyes lit up when she heard Julia’s suggestion. “Sure, but I want to bring Bria along.”
