Chapter 48 Can You Handle It?
The other three people in the elevator looked as if their eyeballs were about to fall out: “……?!”
Taniyah busily pulled Guadalupe back.
Miguel and Gilbert silently averted their gaze, choosing selective blindness.
They didn’t see anything.
Guadalupe lowered her head, supported her forehead with one hand, and rubbed her forehead back and forth with her fingers, her face burning hot.
The 13th floor has arrived.
She was extremely fortunate that she didn’t buy the 23rd floor or the 33rd. floor, otherwise she would have turned into ashes before reaching home.
Taniyah politely said goodbye and pulled Guadalupe out of the elevator, her high heels clacking like spinning wheels
The elevator door slowly closed.
Gilbert and Miguel both stole a glance at Ezequiel.
He remained cool and relaxed, looking down on everything, as if the person who had just had his leg touched was not him at all… except for his fair and rosy handsome face.

“What’s the deal between you and the big shot, tell me the truth!”

As soon as Taniyah entered the door, she was interrogated harshly.
Guadalupe had not yet recovered from the shock of touching her boss’s thigh, “Get me a fast–acting heart pill.”
“Don’t even think about changing the subject!”
”
Guadalupe wanted to cry but had no tears.
There was no other way, so she had to tell her the whole story of how she met Ezequiel and how she became his secretary.
I didn’t intend to hide it, but the most important thing during this period of time was the divorce. When they met, the topic they talked about the most was also this matter, and they didn’t mention other things.
Taniyah listened and exclaimed in amazement, “Wow, such unexpected coincidences… Could it be that the matchmaker in the heavens is selecting your true soulmate for you!”
Guadalupe was speechless.
“Firstly, he would never have liked me. Secondly, my life didn’t need a Prince Charming. Lastly, I had a purely professional relationship with him, as he happened to need a secretary and I needed to break free from Desmond’s social circle. Taking on the position of the Chief Secretary to the President of Eclipse Group would help me rebuild my network and benefit my career, and that’s all.”
“Having such a handsome guy around, can you really resist?” Taniyah continued to joke with her.
Because she didn’t want her friend to end their relationship and love.
Clearly, Guadalupe had already removed the love brain.

“Do you think Ezequiel was the kind of man who I couldn’t control and do whatever I wanted with?”
“The previous one couldn’t control herself, according to Gilbert, she was a woman he had loved before, and it had been a long time since they had seen each other. She almost got thrown out of the car when she tried to hug him.”
“I dared to have improper thoughts about him, to even touch a finger of his, and he would have killed me.”
She said it with a serious expression.
Taniyah hesitated for a moment and consoled, “Don’t be so pessimistic. Didn’t you just touch his thigh and he didn’t do anything to you? You should have confidence in your beauty.”
As soon as this matter was mentioned, Guadalupe’s face turned red. “What? I touched his thigh? It was you who suddenly pushed me forward. If I didn’t reach out to block, my face would have buried into his…” She was too embarrassed to mention the remaining two words.
“Hahahaha…”
Taniyah didn’t know what scene came to mind, and she laughed and fell onto the couch.
Guadalupe: “…
She rolled her eyes.
The two of them had enough fun and Taniyah also understood that Guadalupe and Ezequiel really had nothing going on.
It is understandable that after eight years of emotions with Desmond, even if it turns from love to hatred and we decide to divorce, it is not so easy to completely uproot it from the heart.

Guadalupe took a bath with the help of Taniyah.
During the hospitalization, the wound was not allowed to come into contact with water, and the special care only wiped her body.
Today is the fifth day since the injury, and the wound has already healed on the surface, but I cannot engage in vigorous exercise.
Taniyah listened to her explanation of the cause of the injury and worriedly said, “Why have so many unfortunate things happened this year? She insisted that when she gets better, she will take her to the temple to pray for blessings and get a talisman for safety.”
Evening.
Guadalupe watched the sunset from the balcony.
Taniyah left the house and went to the nearby supermarket to buy groceries.
“Zi–zi –”
Guadalupe’s phone, which was placed on the small table next to her, rang. It was a call from an unfamiliar number in Freyburgh.
She frowned.
She thought that he wouldn’t bother her for at least two days, but it was only three hours later….
Hung up, blocked.
Over at the hospital, Desmond handed his phone to Harold and asked, “How did the house matter go?”
Harold: “It’s done. Mrs. Harrison is on the 13th floor, and there is an owner on the 20th floor who happens to be selling. The transfer

procedures have already been taken care of, so you can go anytime.”
“Um, good.”
Desmond patted his shoulder.
On the day he went to Chainia, he had already explained that he was going to do this task.
He could not let her live in the same building as Ezequiel, but it would. not be easy to persuade her to come back. The best way for now was for him to also buy a house there.
Winning back his wife was a long battle, and he had to have some patience… even though her current temper was difficult for him to adapt
- to.
The sound of sobbing and crying could be heard from the ward.
Desmond walked into the ward.
Belinda’s cheeks were swollen and her mouth had a wound at the corner, her eyes were filled with tears, looking truly pitiful.
“Desmond…” she reached out, softly calling.
“The doctor said you were fine, and you could be discharged after lying down for a while,” Desmond stood far away from the hospital bed, his tone indifferent.
But it was obvious that compared to before, the cold and cruel attitude towards her, as if wanting to kill her, had improved a lot.
Belinda felt happy in her heart.
She still reached out her hand and said, “Desmond, can I hug you again?” Then, she immediately explained timidly, “I don’t mean anything else; I

just feel uncomfortable thinking about becoming your sister again in the future.”
Saying that, there were tears again.
Most men in the world fell for it.
Desmond indeed softened his heart.
He hesitated for a moment but still went in.
As soon as Belinda arrived at the bedside, she crawled up like a water snake, wrapping her arms around his neck and entwining her legs around his waist.
“Belinda!”
Desmond was angry and wanted to pull her down.
Belinda held him tightly, intensifying her rubbing and pressing against his lower abdomen. Her breathing became rapid, and she seductively gasped in his ear, “Don’t push me away, little sister can’t have lollipops, feeling so empty and sad. If you don’t believe me, just touch, just holding you has already made me wet, I can’t wait to have you…”
She kissed his neck and her hands wandered on his broad back.
“Don’t mess around…”
Desmond warned her.
The atmosphere was still chaotic, and when he grabbed her hand, he seemed to have lost some strength.
Belinda could feel his hesitation, so she clung to him, constantly tempting him with her body and bold words. She knelt on the bed, using both hands to pull down his zipper…

“Stop!”
Desmond’s heart sank and his body felt as if it had been drenched in ice water when he suddenly saw the sorrowful gaze in Guadalupe’s cycs as she held up their burned marriage certificate.
He forcefully pushed her away, zipped up his pants, and quickly walked
out.
Escaped from the ward like a fugitive.
Belinda was furious and hammered the bed.
Just a little bit more.
As long as he couldn’t resist getting back on her bed, he wouldn’t let her
- go.
***
Taniyah had just come back from buying groceries when a call came in at home, saying that her mother had twisted her waist.
She had to tell Guadalupe that she was going back first.
“I was fine, I ordered takeout later, you go take care of Jane quickly.”
“Then you called me if you had something.”
“Um.”
Taniyah, although not feeling reassured, had no choice but to leave first.
As she was going downstairs, she bumped into Gilbert coming down from the top floor. A thought struck her, “Guada’s injury can be considered a work–related injury, right? She doesn’t have anyone to take care of her at night, and I happen to live downstairs. I can help look after her.”
Chapter 48 Can You Handle It?
Gilbert: “No problem.”
