Signed, Sealed, and Moving On

Before going to the club, I had made a report and submitted all of the relevant proof to the organizers as needed.

Since this wasn't the first time I was dealing with them, they took my report very seriously and launched an investigation at once.

When I finally heard of their decision, it felt as though a burden had been lifted from my shoulders. I sighed in relief.

Not wanting to get involved in Noah's matters anymore, I turned to leave.

I went down the long corridor and could still hear Noah angrily breaking and smashing things up in the office.

"How dare she… That shameless bitch! Get out! Get out of here!"

I went to the bathroom before leaving the club. Just as I came up, I saw a woman clutching the edges of the sink as she dry-retched into it.

I was just about to go over to her and ask if she was okay when she suddenly looked up at me through the mirror. It was Quincy.

No wonder I hadn't seen her in the office just now.

When she caught sight of me, she carefully stood up straight. She followed my line of sight to her slightly bulging tummy and said in a mocking tone, "That's right, I'm pregnant."

I answered emotionlessly, "Congrats."

Quincy then stared at my stomach for a while and suddenly burst into laughter.

"I mean, that's the most you could do, anyway, to congratulate me. Mr. Lloyd has never slept with you for the past two years, has he? That makes sense. You're so unladylike—of course you'd never know how to act like a lady with men. Nobody would ever like you like this!"

She paused for a moment and continued, "Oh, and by the way, Noah's mom called you a failure of a woman for not even being able to fulfil the least requirements of being one. She said you were like a hen who didn't know how to lay any eggs!"

Noah and I had been sleeping separately for two years. We hadn't functioned like an actual married couple for a long time.

At first, it was because the racing club was still in its initial stages, and I thought of helping him establish it by focusing on improving the club's reputation. That was why I never brought up the topic of children with him.

In the end, Noah started getting sick of me and nitpicked me in every single way. Eventually, he stopped interacting with me even if we came home together, which was already rare in itself.

It had only been a few days, and yet, Noah's mom, Rosie Hampton, had already been so accepting of Quincy, the mistress in our relationship. I guess I had wasted all of my time and effort on Noah and his family.

Although he and I were already divorced, what Quincy said still left a bad taste in my mouth. I just chuckled at myself deprecatingly.

Suddenly, my phone rang. I looked at the screen and saw that it was an unknown number calling me.

"Hello?"

I immediately recognized Asher's voice on the other end of the line. I guessed he must have gotten my number from Ingrid.

"I'm outside your racing club. Wanna have dinner with me?"

I didn't purposely cover the speakers to hide the call from Quincy. But judging by her facial expression, I bet she heard it, too.

Suddenly, I felt myself perk up.

"Okay. Wait for me."

I looked at Quincy, nodded at her, and said, "All the best with your eggs, you egg-laying hen!"

Quincy was so mad that her face turned purple with rage.

I couldn't be bothered about her reaction. I slid right past her out of the bathroom, flung my backpack behind me, and strode determinedly out of the door.

As expected, I saw the black Bentley Asher sent me home with last time. It was parked in a quiet and secluded corner outside the club.

I was just about to get into the front passenger seat when the backseat door opened, and a large hand pulled me in. I fell against the plush leather seats and immediately, I was welcomed by a flurry of heated kisses all over my body.

I could literally smell Asher's raging hormones in the air.

He kissed me long and hard, focusing on every microreaction of mine, treating me as if I was the only person he had ever had his eyes on in the whole wide world.

"I missed you. I missed you so much," Asher said, breathing erratically against my face as he sucked on my earlobes and collarbones. He also kept muttering soft nothings in my ear the whole time.

We had actually only been apart for a day.

However, Asher's emotions quickly strung me along, and I was immediately enveloped by his fiery passion.

We were a tangle of limbs in the cramped backseat, our bodies pressed closed together.

He buried his face in my shoulder and held me tightly in his arms.

"Lexy, what should I do if I've fallen in love with you at first sight?"

I didn't quite believe in love at first sight. However, I did believe in love at first fuck.

Asher made it seem as though there was no other woman for him except me, and I liked it very much. In fact, I even found myself thanking Noah for distancing himself from me and treating me like trash because I wouldn't have met Asher otherwise.

"Asher…"

I slithered my arms around his waist and started groping his muscles, slowly sliding my hand dangerously lower.

I was toying with danger, and I knew it.

Memories from that half-drunken one-night stand immediately flooded my mind as my body started reacting naturally to him.

Suddenly, sounds of footsteps appeared outside the car, and it quickly snapped me out of my reverie. I recalled that Noah's car seemed to have been parked somewhere nearby.

Noah wasn't the only one talking toward me—even the other people I'd seen in the office were also with him, and they were all heading toward my direction.

I recalled Noah justifying not sexually touching me for years because I was too unladylike and, therefore, undesirable to men.

However, right at this moment, Asher was looking at me with such intensity in his eyes that I believed he could only see me and nobody else around us.

I teared up and bit Asher lightly on the earlobe. "Asher, I'm just a clumsy oaf who doesn't know how to cook, clean, or care for other people. Why do you still want me?"

Asher lowered his head and kissed me, stroking my hair and tucking it behind my ears. He made me feel like a precious jewel he cherished with all his heart.

"I can just hire a maid to do all the cooking and cleaning for us. However, you're a woman that I'm in love with, and no money or compensation in the world could ever amount to you. I will go crazy even if I don't see you for just a single day…"

We continued making love in the backseat of his car. He teased me so much that I cried out in bliss with tears running down my eyes.

"Asher… A-Asher… Ah!"

Noah and the others could recognize my voice from a mile away.

"Wait, is that Lexy's voice I hear?"

"It does sound like her…"

Noah's face turned black. He stopped in his tracks for a bit before starting to head toward us.
