"Sure." Vivian's eyes glazed over outside the window. The decision had been made.
Perhaps God was unable to put up with it any longer either. She had been at Gordan's beck and call the entire time. That was why she was unable to bring herself to make the decision.
The call was answered, and Misha's voice came from the other end of the line.
"Ms. Vivian, is it you?" the person asked respectfully.
Misha was Ray's lawyer. Many of the legal affairs of his company were managed by her. Hence, she respected Vivian very much.
Vivian replied, "Yes, it's me."
Misha found it strange after making sure that it was Vivian who called. Vivian had Misha's phone number, and she could call that number to contact her. Why would she call the front desk's number? Thus, she asked, "Why are you calling the front desk to look for me?"
"There are some legal affairs I'd like you to help with. Ms. Misha, are you available now?" Vivian took a deep breath. Vivian had to tell her about the decision that she made. Otherwise, she would give it a second thought again before she told Misha.
Vivian was not an indecisive person. However, she knew what she had in mind when it was about giving Gordan up.
Vivian thought she might as well make the decision now before it was too late and before she regretted it again.
"Of course, I'm available," replied Misha immediately. She raised her hand to interrupt her assistant, who was about to report to her. Ray was her most valued customer. That was why she dared not to
offend his elder sister.
"I'd like to file for divorce," said Vivian.
"I'm sorry?" Misha was surprised. Did she mishear it?
Everyone knew that the ugly-looking Vivian had a handsome husband. She did everything her husband told her to, and she was gentle and obedient.
Although the two of them did not appear in public that often, it was said that Vivian was deeply in love with that man.
However, Vivian was taking the initiative to file for divorce now?
"I'd like to divorce my husband, Gordan Norton." Vivian took a deep breath and repeated one more time.
Misha sensed that something was wrong. She waved her hand, signaling her assistant to leave her office first.
After her assistant left, Misha asked, "Ms. Vivian, did something happen?"
“Nothing happened. All you need to do is to draft a divorce agreement for me. I don't need anything. I only want a divorce,” said Vivian. She was paying for the house she was currently staying in, but she did not plan to take it.
Gordan loved the house. Leaving everything in the house for him was the last thing Vivian could do for him.
Misha asked, "Ms. Vivian, you're taking the initiative to file for divorce and entrusting me to help you to draft a divorce agreement, am I right?"
"Yes." Vivian's voice trembled. She was not that determined, but there was nothing else she could do.
Gordan still refused to stay by her side.
"That means I'll become your lawyer once I accept your entrustment. I'll have to understand what's going on. Otherwise, I can't just simply draft a divorce agreement for you," Misha said responsibly.
Ray would find out about Vivian's divorce when the time came. Perhaps Ray would even come asking her about it.
That was why Misha decided to get all this figured out first. Original from .
"You may ask whatever questions you have." Vivian did not feel that she was being put on the spot. It was nothing more than the fact that Gordan did not like her. It was not something to be embarrassed about.
Her looks would have turned anyone off if they saw her.
"Is it because you fought with Mr. Norton?" Misha asked.
"No," answered Vivian. Gordan would usually taunt her instead of fighting with her.
However, even if they fought, Vivian was unable to argue back as would listen to everything he told her.
"Then, did Mr. Norton do something to hurt you?" Misha asked again.
"No," replied Vivian. Gordan had promised Luke that he would stop fooling around with other women after marrying her.
Sometimes, Gordan would go out early and come back late. However, Ray's men had investigated him before. Gordan had already severed all his relationships with other women. Gordan had never done anything to betray their relationship.
"Are you the one who's deciding to have a divorce? Are you the one who's taking the initiative to file for divorce?" Misha questioned again.
"Yes," Vivian answered.
"Then, does Mr. Norton know about this? Does he agree with the divorce?"
"He hasn't found out about it yet. But he'll certainly sign his name when he gets the divorce papers. It's not going to cause you a lot of trouble." Vivian was pretty sure about it. She could foresee how happy Gordan would be the moment he got the divorce papers.
Misha fell silent for a while, then asked, "Have you made your decision? I remember that you used to be madly in love with Mr. Norton."
"And I still love him now. But I have to let him go. I know lawyers keep a template. They only need to make some amendments to the papers and the job is done. Please send the agreement to me," said Vivian. She had to settle this matter as soon as possible.
Otherwise, she would regret it...
Misha was speechless. What was Vivian up to?
Vivian had learned a lot when she was at Ray's side handling some legal affairs.
Previously, Vivian put in a lot of effort to keep Gordan close to her. Was it that easy for her to give up now?
Vivian realized Misha was not responding, so she asked, “Is there a problem?”
"No, there's no problem. I'm going to amend the template for you now if you've decided. I'll send the agreement to your email. You only have to print two copies out. The agreement shall be effective upon
the date it's signed by both parties," replied Misha.
"Alright. Thank you." Vivian hung up the call and smiled bitterly. She had been struggling with the thought of leaving Gordan for the whole day. However, it only took 15 minutes for her to truly leave him.
It seemed like leaving him was not that difficult at all.
Vivian walked to her study. Her study was separated from Gordan's study.
After all these years of being together, it seemed like he was reluctant to do anything with her, no matter if he was working or resting.
Vivian turned on her computer.
15 minutes later, she received an email. Vivian's hand was shaking when she opened it. It was an email from Misha.
She had already amended the divorce agreement.
Vivian's hands were shaking, and her body could not help but tremble too. Still, she printed the papers out.
She printed two copies of the agreement.
Vivian glanced at the content. Misha was attentive. She listed out everything Vivian had asked for in the papers.
Vivian would leave the marriage without taking anything with her.
Vivian smiled bitterly, and she signed her name on top of the signature line.
Then, she placed the agreement in the bedroom.
Vivian knew they would come looking for her in the bedroom when they could not find her anywhere. She knew they would notice the divorce papers here when the time came.
Vivian picked up a vanity case and pressed it down on the divorce papers. Then, she took her documents and left the bedroom.
This time, she did not take the stairs when she was heading downstairs.
Since she had decided to leave, then she would have to be more thorough about it. She could not leave anything to the imagination.
