Sorry Sir I Don’t Want You Back by Little Angelic Devil

The days passed, and it was time for the meeting between Angelworld Jewelry, La Jewel, and the Jennings Group. Cherise, busy with the paperwork in front of her, didn't realize the time until Neil came into her office with lunch boxes.

Julian knew that once Cherise was immersed in some things, she would forget about anything else, and thus, he transferred his most trusted assistant to his beloved sister to ensure everything went smoothly, and that included her taking her meals on time. "Miss. Cherise, it's time for your lunch," Neil said politely while opening each lunch box and arranging them on the table. "My brother must have paid you a lot even to ask you to do such a mundane task," Cherise laughed. Neil, who was used to Julian's strictness, felt himself blushing because of Cherise's teasing.

"It's a part of my job, Miss. Cherise," he replied tersely and professionally, although the tips of his ears were red.

"Thank you," Cherise smiled and decided to stop teasing him.

The food was exquisite, coming from the best restaurant in the country. Julian really spoiled her too much, but she enjoyed it. This was how her life should be - not being humiliated by some mother-daughter duo or even being ignored and cheated on by an ungrateful man.

"Logan will come in fifteen minutes?" she asked Neil after chewing and swallowing her food.

"Yes." Neil looked at his watch. "Mr. Amery should arrive in thirty minutes."

Cherise nodded and wiped her lips with a tissue paper after finishing her meal. She had made sure that Logan would arrive earlier than Hudson to ensure everything ran smoothly.

It wasn't that she wasn't confident with herself, but having her new partner would make everything easier. The Jennings Group would terminate the contract with the Amery Group.

After that, she would do anything to terminate Angelworld Jewelry's contract with La Jewel and tell him of Angelworld Jewelry's new partnership with the Jennings Group.

Neil started gathering the lunch boxes and throwing them into the trashcan while Cherise stood up and went to her ensuite bedroom in her office, which also had an ensuite bathroom for her to refresh herself.

She was applying her lipstick when she heard the phone in her office ring. She wasn't in a hurry to answer it as she knew that Neil would answer it for her.

A knock on the door was heard a few seconds later, and after checking her appearance, Cherise went out to check what the phone call was about, as Neil wouldn't usually disturb her in her personal space if not for something urgent. "Miss. Cherise, Mr. Amery and his lawyer have arrived," Neil informed her.

Cherise furrowed her brows. Why did he come faster than he was supposed to? Well... She should have known. He was the CEO of the Amery Group. He would never be late.

"Call our lawyer and bring them to the conference room," Cherise instructed Neil.

"Will it be alright?" Neil frowned. This was not what they had planned. What if Mr. Amery found out about Miss. Cherise's real identity?

He didn't know why his boss asked him and everyone else to keep it a secret, but it must be for some important reasons.

"Are you doubting my ability to handle such a simple matter, Neil?" Cherise, for once, took on an authoritative stance against her personal assistant.

"I'm sorry, Miss. Cherise. I'll do what was asked," Neil replied professionally.

With Neil gone, Cherise went to the conference room they had decided to use and sat on the right side of the main chair.

Not long after, her lawyer came and gave her the termination contract he had prepared and also the new partnership contract with the Jennings Group. Cherise flipped through it, knowing everyone here wouldn't cheat her as they were all afraid of Julian.

She had a photographic memory and could scan anything quickly without missing any important points. Once she was done, she smiled at her lawyer.

"Well done. There are no loopholes they could use against us," she said, talking about their termination contract with La Jewel.

"Thank you, Miss. Cherise," the lawyer said with gratitude. Everyone in Angelworld Jewelry loved working with their new CEO. Even though she was strict, they knew it was to make the company better. Furthermore, Cherise wasn't one who was stingy with compliments.

A few moments later, a knock was heard before the door opened, and a tall, handsome man with dark eyes wearing a tailored three-piece suit entered the room, followed by his lawyer, personal assistant, and Neil. Hudson had prepared to meet the lawyer and the CEO of Angelworld Jewelry, so imagined his shock when he saw his ex-wife inside the conference room.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

"What are you doing here?" he all but growled, forgetting that they were in the presence of other people.

Cherise stood up gracefully and walked toward Hudson. "Good day to you, too, Mr. Amery. I'm here as the personal assistant of our CEO. Please, have a seat," she gestured to one of the seats for Hudson to sit at.

As Cherise turned around to go to her seat, Hudson couldn't take his eyes off his ex-wife. Her tailored black suit showed off her slender figure and legs, and the thin black belt accentuated her slim waist.

Why had he never noticed how great his ex-wife would look this good in a power suit? And when was she able to walk so easily in such tall stilettos? Wasn't she used to be clumsy?

No, it wasn't that he never noticed it, but he never gave her the chance to look this good. Whenever she asked if she could go to his office and help, he always declined her offer because she was from the countryside.

What could she help him with other than just sitting in his office with nothing to do, he thought at that time. She would just be a nuisance to him, what with her constantly trying to get his attention.

And the first time he brought her to a social banquet a few days after their marriage, she complained about the heels.

Now, the memory came back to him. It wasn't because she couldn't wear heels; it was because the heels were too big for her. At that time, he didn't care about her at all, but with each passing time, Miles was the one who brought her everything she needed. Shamefulness and rage filled him when he thought of how his personal assistant knew more about his supposed wife at that time - from jewelry, perfume, her shoe and clothing sizes, and Miles might even know down to the sizes of her more intimate apparel that he loved her to wear.

No one should know those things about their wives except for their husbands!

"Mr. Amery?" a man's voice called him, breaking his train of thought and making him curse himself for feeling enraged by such things.

Hudson looked at the lawyer of the Angelworld Jewelry and saw that he had slid a document across the table for him to read.

He took the document, flipped through it, and scoffed when he saw the amount offered to terminate their contract.

"Didn't I say I'll only talk to your CEO about this?" he asked, his dark eyes glued on Cherise, who, for him, looked so gorgeously professional with her red lips and slick ponytail.

"What are you doing here?" he asked Cherise again. She had no business being in the Angelworld Jewelry, especially not in an important meeting like this.

Suddenly, a thought entered his mind. Angelworld Jewelry had just changed its CEO, who was said to be female. Could it be...

"I'm here to make everything run smoothly," Cherise smiled professionally. "So, Mr. Amery, please read the termination contract carefully. I'm sure it would not be a loss for you with the amount we are offering for La Jewel."

Hudson narrowed his eyes and asked, "Are you the new CEO of the Angelworld Jewelry?" She looked like one with her hands folded across her breasts and confidence, letting the lawyer do the talking. It made sense that she was here if that was the case. Cherise laughed out loud and replied sarcastically. "Do you think someone like me, a woman from the countryside, could become the CEO of such a well-known jewelry company, Mr. Amery?"

"You know Julian, and he might give the position to you easily. I remember he said he will spoil you to no end."

Cherise smiled. “As much as I love Julian and vice-versa, I do not wish to bankrupt any of his companies, be it a subsidiary or the larger company."

"So why are you here? This is an important meeting, and the CEO should be present instead of unrelated people," Hudson asked through gritted teeth. God, this woman really knew how to test his patience.

"Oh, I've told you I'm just here to make sure the termination of the contract between Angelworld Jewelry and La Jewel. Is it so hard to remember such simple words, Mr. Amery?" Cherise smirked as she, once again, repeated her answer.

The people in the room suddenly felt the room temperature become colder. The two lawyers from both companies wiped off cold sweat from their foreheads while Miles shivered, and only Neil maintained his stoic self.

No one had ever dared to go against Hudson Amery, the most powerful CEO in country B, and yet here she was, Cherise, his ex-wife, daring to do it without batting an eyelid and with such a domineering attitude that matched Hudson's own.

But good for Miss. Cherise, Miles cheered in his heart. Although he was just as surprised as anyone with how much his ex- madam had changed, he thought his boss deserved this!

Cherise looked at Hudson, nearly losing his cool, and decided just to tell him half the truth. After all, she wanted to end this meeting as soon as possible, and Logan would be coming soon.

"If you are asking about my position in this company, I'm just the CEO's personal assistant," she shrugged.

"And where is your CEO?" Hudson tapped his forefinger impatiently against the table. He had made it clear that he would only discuss the dissolution of their contract with the CEO.

"Oh!" Cherise exclaimed and covered her mouth with both hands. "I forgot to let you know that our CEO has to fly to Country A for an urgent matter."

"And you didn't think of telling me this?" Hudson glared at her.

"Mr. Amery, I'm still learning about everything," Cherise pretended to be innocent. "But she has given me the authority to manage this contract termination."

"She seems to hold you in high regard," Hudson narrowed his eyes again.

"She knows I can be trusted," Cherise shrugged.

"If that is the case, then do you think five times the amount of penalty for breaching the contract is enough to cover our losses from not working with Angelworld Jewelry again?" Hudson asked with a cold smile. Cherise rolled her eyes inwardly.

What a capitalist bastard...

"Then name your price, Mr. Amery," she said, still with her hands folded but this time with a raised brow.
