"Is annulling this prenup an absolute necessity for you?" Graham asked. "You don’t seem to be the type to lack money, Kate. You have a high paying job, and if you decide not to work anymore, Henry could always support you financially, you can live the life of a crazy rich man as long as you stay with him."
"This is also the sa question that Henry asked," Kate admitted. "And the answer is still the sa. It’s not even about the amount, but my husband cheated on first after I am nothing but loyal to him, and he contributes NOTHING to the family. He’s not even trying to be a househusband."
"So, I will never let him walk out with half of my hard-earned money and assets after ruining my life, cheating, and also leeching on ," Kate stated. Graham could see the determination in her eyes. It seed that she would accept nothing but the annulnt of the prenup.
She didn’t care if soone called her petty or stingy, but she would not allow Matt to enjoy the fruits of her labor when he did nothing to deserve it.
Graham had a little grin as he found her very interesting. It was quite rare to see a woman who would openly admit that she was out for blood. She was fierce against soone she disliked but showed bits of her sweetness and cuteness to soone she liked.
Thus, Graham nodded, "If that is your decision, then I will try my best as your divorce lawyer. I will have to consult about this with my team, though I think we can put emotional distress and abuse as a reason to annul the prenup, though it’s not really a valid reason in the court."
"May I take this prenup, Kate? I need to study it first," Graham said.
"Yes, please help with this, Graham. I’ve been enduring this for years, I want to leave him and start anew," Kate said.
"I will try my best. Don’t worry, I’ve never disappointed any of my clients before," Graham smiled. He got up and put the prenup in his briefcase, "I have to leave now, Kate. It’s very nice to et you. Now I understand the fascination with you. I have to say that you are the perfect fit."
Kate still didn’t understand what Graham ant when he kept ntioning ’fascination.’
But she got up and shook his hand out of respect. After all, she also enjoyed conversing with him, "Likewise, Graham. It’s nice to et and converse with you. I’d love to spend more ti talking with you."
"Really?"
"Yeah," Kate replied. She had no other intention than the fact that they connected easily. She wanted to make a new acquaintance or, even better—a friend.
She only had Mai as her friend, but Mai saw her more as a role model than a friend on equal terms.
She wasn’t close to Michael and Henry—well, a boyfriend could be your best friend, but that wasn’t the case when most of their activities ended with cuddling and making love.
Henry was a passionate, hot lover you’d spend your life with, but she wanted a friend on equal terms, a regular, likeminded friend you could hang out with on the weekend, and she thought that Graham could be her good friend.
"I will invite you to a coffee break like this sotis," Graham said. He didn’t know why, but he was eager to talk with Kate more, probably because she was Jas’ darling. She gave him the nostalgia of talking to Jas.
Besides that, she was very mature and civil, a great pair for him.
anwhile, Henry was reading so docunts in the office, but his mind wasn’t there.
He kept thinking about Kate and what happened between Kate and Graham.
Well, of course, Graham wouldn’t do anything. He was Jas’ best friend, they had been close friends since they were young, and Graham already said many tis that he saw Henry as his little brother.
But he still couldn’t ease his heart.
Ultimately, Henry put the docunt down and ruffled his hair frustratedly as he couldn’t hold it.
He called Michael to ask what was happening there.

"Yes, Sir?"
"How’s the conversation between Kate and Graham?" Henry asked. "Did they say sothing... or do anything?"
"Sir—Dude—Are you jealous just because Graham and Kate are discussing the divorce?" Michael accused. He couldn’t believe that Henry could be so childish. "I’m currently sitting far away from them, Sir, and I’ve been observing them for a while. They aren’t doing anything, all they did was having a conversation and Kate has just handed the prenup docunt to him. Nothing more than that."
"Are you sure?" Henry asked. "Maybe I should go back to the cafe to protect Kate—"
"Dude, don’t be a kid," Michael complained. "You act like an insecure teenager about to get his girl stolen. She is not so kind of unstable teenage girl. Just focus on your work in the office and let handle the situation here."
"Tsk, fine, just make sure that Graham wouldn’t dare to do anything while I’m away," Henry said before he hung up the call.
Beep.

"How lovesick can you be?" Michael complained as he pocketed his phone again. He returned his gaze towards Kate and Graham’s table and saw them shaking their hands and walking side by side towards him.
Michael shook his head because, for a second, he thought that Graham and Kate looked so harmonious together.
They also seed to have similar personalities, which wasn’t surprising because Graham and Jas had a lot in common. That’s why they beca best friends since they were young.
’Now I understand Henry’s worry,’ Michael thought. ’They actually look good together, a mature couple in their 30s. But I doubt that Kate is the type who would cheat. She has declared her love for Henry, so she shouldn’t sway easily, right?’
Michael wasn’t sure either, but he didn’t want to be the one who started the wildfire, so he just tried to think positively.
