Remarried After I Secretly Divorced the CEO novel Chapter 13

Autumn turned around and saw a young man standing behind her.

He was dressed in a black suit, wore gold-rimmed glasses, and had a polite smile on his face.

"Yes?" Autumn looked him over and was certain she didn’t know him.

The man maintained his polite smile.

"Hello, I’m Mr. Sinclair’s assistant. My name is Jesse Grant. Mr. Sinclair is waiting for you at a nearby café."

At the mention of Mr. Sinclair, the first person that came to Autumn’s mind was Keith.

Did the Sinclair heir really have that much free time to wait for her in a café?

Selena tugged on Autumn’s arm and whispered, "Autumn, the Mr. Sinclair he’s talking about—could it be that Sinclair?"

"Probably." Autumn nodded.

"You know the Sinclair heir?"

Autumn thought for a moment, then shook her head.

"Not really. My uncle saved him once. That’s about it. I don’t really know him."

That didn’t count as knowing him?

Selena was stunned.

If saving someone didn’t qualify as knowing them, what did?

Selena quickly grabbed her bag from the car and said in a rush, "Autumn, I just remembered that my mom asked me to come home for dinner tonight. I’ve got to go!"

She took off faster than a rabbit, disappearing from sight in seconds.

Autumn shook her head helplessly, then turned to see Jesse still waiting patiently.

Bracing herself, she said, "Let’s go."

Jesse made a polite "this way" gesture, then hesitated for a second.

As they walked, he said to the visibly tense Autumn, "Ms. Lewis, you don’t need to be so nervous. The money transfer earlier went smoothly because Mr. Sinclair helped make it happen."

"Huh?"

Autumn looked at him in surprise, not quite understanding.

"Normally, a transfer of that size would’ve required at least a day or two of review before the funds were cleared. Because Mr. Sinclair stepped in, the process was expedited."

No wonder everything had gone so smoothly—Keith had been helping her behind the scenes.

Realizing this, Autumn lowered her head and followed Jesse, her heart uneasy and filled with uncertainty.

Inside the café, soft music played.

Keith, dressed in his usual black suit, was seated by the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Sunlight spilled across his nearly perfect profile, casting a golden halo along the edge of his face.

Autumn took a deep breath and followed Jesse inside, quietly rehearsing in her head how best to start the conversation.

Jesse walked up to Keith and respectfully said, "Mr. Sinclair, Ms. Lewis is here."

"Good afternoon, Mr. Sinclair."

Autumn quickly smiled and greeted him.

Keith gave a small nod, lifted his eyes to look at her, and gestured to the seat across from him. "Sit."
