The Ex-Wife’s Billion Dollar Comeback Novel

---- Chapter 95: Trouble ~ Soraya ~ "So, in cases of breach, you'll send your best engineer to handle the attack?" Jacob seriously asked, leaning back in his seat with his chin raised. "Yes," Silas responded confidently. "But that comes with a different fee. What we can only guarantee you is that we will prioritize your company, being our client." Silas projected his presentation onto the conference room's TV screen.

He moved forward with the presentation, explaining, "NeuroSentinel's features include a cloud-based secure network, quantum-enhanced encryption, integration of physical security, and 24/7 elite technical support." "Once NeuroSentinel 2.0 is released, you can get a free upgrade for only $3,960,000 a year, or a fixed two-year contract for $7,128,000." "Your package is Premium Tier: 5 petabytes of cloud storage, enough to safeguard massive facilities, global branches, and all your hardware," Silas concluded.

"If 5 petabytes is not enough, we can talk about upgrades later." "And we are offering a 10% discount at the moment," Soraya said, and immediately Silas glared at her. He was silently screaming, 'What the fuck are you doing?' "Thank you for the 10% discount. Where do | sign the contract?" Jacob asked calmly without caring for Silas' reaction. He turned to his assistant, who was ready with a check. The entire time, this assistant of Jacob had been stealing glances at Soraya, sometimes with a twinkle in his eyes. Clearly, he knew more than he should. ---- "Ill have the contract ready.

Excuse me, Mr. Steel," Silas said while getting up. He walked to the door, but narrowed his eyes at Soraya before leaving. Normally, Soraya didn't need to attend these negotiations, but since Silas was overpricing the software because Jacob was friends with Calum, she showed up under the pretense of wanting to learn the ropes of sales. When Soraya and Jacob were alone with his assistant, the man said, "This is Nelson Harper, my executive assistant. If | cannot be reached due to work, contact him." Addressing his assistant, Jacob ordered, "Nelson, this is Ara.

Angela's Mom." Soraya, "..." "It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Azar," Nelson greeted. Soraya blinked for a moment, still stunned by what Jacob said. A second later, she managed a smile. "It's nice to meet you, Nelson." "Where are you going to put the flowers the doctor gave you?" Jacob asked dryly. "The flowers?" Soraya sucked in a deep breath. "They are... in my office, and um-Jacob, | can't throw them away. Ronan is a good person." She was almost sure Jacob was going to suggest it. "Then, talk to him," he ordered. "L will, calm down, okay?" she said.

As if on cue, Soraya got a text from Rohan. She knew he had gotten her number from his parents even before they last met at the office. Rohan: [Soraya, this is Rohan. Did you receive the flowers? | ---- remember you liked lilies.] Soraya: [I did. Thank you, Rohan. | was wondering if we could talk] Rohan: [There's an emergency shareholders' meeting tomorrow, so I'll see you tomorrow.] Soraya: [Great! I'll see you tomorrow.] Soraya then showed Jacob her text exchange with Rohan. " See? Tomorrow, we will talk." Jacob sighed. After a while, he asked, "What time do you get off?

After signing the contract here, | will meet with Mr. Perez. He added a request to our initial agreement, which | did not mind. After that, we can go home together." Soraya remembered that Jacob had purchased Montclair Group shares from Mr. Perez. So, if he still had other matters to attend to, it was fine for her to return to Belridge with him. " Around six?" "Six is good," Jacob said. Silas eventually returned with the contract. After Jacob signed the papers, he left with a silent promise to come back. Jacob was not the only VIP client who arrived that day.

Thomas Grayson, already a man in his forties, one of the state senators and a businessman himself, also turned up to sign a deal with Silas. Mr. Grayson was in the manpower business, and being a government official, he was quite influential across the state. "Soraya wasn't supposed to be involved in the negotiations, but since she had mentioned wanting to learn about sales, Silas pulled her into the conference room. It was there that the senator first met her. Other than the sale with Mr. Grayson, nothing alarming ---- happened during that meeting, but Soraya couldn't say the same...

for their second encounter. In the evening, Soraya managed to slip past Silas and make her way to the parking lot without her friend noticing. Jacob's car was already waiting for her. But because the traffic to Belridge was terrible, they ended up going to a Japanese restaurant that offered private dining rooms. It was a risk going out in public, but since the restaurant was on the outskirts of Cedar Heights, Soraya didn't really expect to run into anyone they knew. Yet, she did, crossing paths with not just one, but three familiar faces.

"lhope the traffic is gone," Soraya muttered after drinking her water. Jacob casually put more grilled pork on her plate, saying, "Eat more." "Do you want me to get fat?" Soraya objected. Jacob raised a brow. "| don't want you to get fat. You are just not eating enough." "Fine," she said, before picking up her chopsticks and stuffing the pork into her mouth. After they finished eating, Jacob suggested that they leave tight away. However, Soraya still needed to use the restroom. Moreover, Lyra called, and Soraya knew it was about Valmont Privée.

"Ill catch up," she said, "I'm just going to take this. Besides, we shouldn't go out together." "Don't take too long," he said firmly before leaving the private room. Lyra reported only positive things about the launch for Valmont Privée. She mentioned how the ad conversions were ---- high, resulting in actual purchases. Lyra had much to share and promised to give more juicy details on Friday when they meet. Finally, it was time for Soraya to go to the restroom, but just as she opened the door, she saw Mr. Thomas Grayson briskly walking in her direction.

He also spotted her, and relief flickered in his eyes, as if he had just found his savior. "Miss Azar," he said, walking into her private room and closing the door. "Can | stay here for a moment?" Soraya frowned. She said, "Mr. Grayson, I'm actually heading out." "Just for a few minutes," he said, leaning back against the door and raising his hand. He looked nervous. Clearly, he was running away from something or... someone, and Soraya did not want to be a part of it. "Well, Mr. Grayson, you can stay here, but I'm going," she said, but the senator begged her not to open the door.

Soraya could hear a commotion outside. She could smell trouble from a mile away, so she opened the door anyway. Just as she did, the door to the opposite partitioned room opened, and instantly she froze. Standing before her were Rose Becket and Claire Rowan. "Soraya? What brings you to this part of Cedar Heights?" Rose asked, her brow raising. Just then, a woman in her early forties appeared in frantic steps. She called, "Thomas, | know you are in here with your mistress! Show yourself!" ---- Immediately, Soraya frowned. So this was why Mr. Grayson was hiding.

Of course, Soraya did not want to be involved in this mess. She was about to reveal how Mr. Thomas Grayson was hiding in her private room when Rose beat her to it. "Soraya? Who are you having dinner with?" Then, Rose opened the door to her room wide enough to see inside. When Rose saw the senator, she gasped. "Oh no... don't tell me you've lowered yourself to being an middle aged-man's mistress?"
