Chapter 22 - Go With The Flow

He was already calm when James entered his office. "What happened? She was storming outside." James asked worriedly. "She proposed a divorce," Jacob said. "And..." James waited. "Of course, I refused."

"Why? You also told me to prepare a divorce paper." James said confused. Jacob shuddered and said, "Well I said not until I found out the reason behind our marriage."

"That was a lame excuse." James smiled.

"Yeah, I know. But it worked." Jacob laughed.

James looked at Jacob unbelievably. He is starting to think that after finding out that Jenny Do is Nurse J Jacob started to like this marriage.

Nurse J was raging with anger when she gets back to the surgery. Good thing she doesn't have any surgery to assist. She's in a bad mood until the end of her shift.

When she reached home, she called Lance. "J! How was it? Did he sign it?" Lance inquired on the other line. J burst out in anger then told Lance what happened at Jacob's office.

"What should I do?" J asked Lance.

"Hmm… in this country it's easy to get a divorce if both parties have a mutual understanding. Meaning, you sign, he signs then you file it to the registrar then it's done. But since he wouldn't sign, you have to go the long process. You file the divorce to the court, gather as much evidence like tell them that you were forced to this marriage or you were married to him without your knowledge and you didn't even know that you signed those marriage contract even thou experts said that your signature is real and not forged to prove that you deserved to be divorced and attend a hearing. This will make a commotion especially that he is from a well-known family. It will grab the attention of the media and netizens. Both your name will flash on the internet and tv screens. The least you want to happen the most is being exposed to the public. So, I suggest you just go with the flow and wait till Jacob voluntarily sign the divorce paper."

J sighed. Go with the flow? That's least she would want to do but that's the only solution for now. As much as she hated the idea but Lance was right. She couldn't afford to be exposed to the public.

"J, are you still there?" Lance on the other line interrupted her thought. "Yeah. So, I guess I have no choice but to go with the flow." J said in dismayed.

"Mmm... By the way, I already made a background check of President Jacob Parker. He is 35 years old, second of the three Parker children. We'll he is easy going and a playboy. He never had a serious relationship. Actually, he never had a girlfriend. All of them were just fling. Never last a week. He hates commitment and no plan to get married. Well, that was before when he didn't know that he is married. But he's good at his profession. One of the best in the country. 5 years ago, he went abroad to practice his profession. But it was said that he was just preparing before he takes over the CLP Group of Hospitals. He lives in his own villa. And most importantly, he has a bad temper. The complete opposite of his easy-going character. They said that it could last up a couple of weeks." Lance finished his narration.

"Urgh...he's bipolar," J said uninterestedly.

"And Elder Do and Elder Parker were childhood friends or best friends, something like that. Well good luck with that. Just keep me updated. Call me if he tried to hurt you or do something...you know..." J interrupted Lance. "That's enough Lance. By for now. Thanks for the details." then she hung up.
