Revenge Against My Ex-husband novel Chapter 32

Jordan was supposed to be happy for winning the bid. Usually, he went to the nightclub to have fun every night when he was in a good mood.

However, his cheerful mood suddenly disappeared after he learned about Irene's identity. Instead, he locked himself at home every day. David felt very strange about Jordan's change.

Mr. Reed had changed a lot recently and stopped going to the nightclub. At first, David thought Jordan just wanted to have a rest.

But after being like this for several days, David realized that something he didn't know must have happened. As an Executive Assistant assigned to Jordan by the old master, he had to pay attention to Jordan's every move. Thus, he tried different ways to figure out the reason for Jordan's change. 

However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't find out what happened. Jordan was energetic in the office yet became lethargic as soon as he got off work. 

Jordan couldn't figure out why either. He felt like he was suffering from some strange disease that made him high-spirited at work and exhausted after work.

Could he get some work-related disease? But he had never heard of such a thing. David finally figured out the reason when Irene asked for a three-day leave and didn't come to the office.

Mr. Reed was in low spirits all day long and kept calling for Irene. David had reminded him several times that Executive Assistant Nelson had asked for leave, but Jordan couldn't remember it.

Jordan got off work early and drove to Irene's neighborhood in a hurry.

Nevertheless, he waited till it was dark outside and still didn't see Irene. He called her but her phone was turned off. Jordan couldn't help knocking on the door. Thomas was shocked when he answered the door and saw Jordan outside.

"Mr. Reed, why are you here?"

"Where is Irene?" Jordan's eyes had already scanned the room. His face became gloomy when he didn't see Irene inside. "Why is her phone off?"

"What do you need from her, Mr. Reed?" Thomas noticed Jordan's sullen look and thought that he had something urgent.

"It's an urgent matter, of course. I can't tell you," Jordan offered a rare explanation, "Where is she?"

"This..." Thomas hesitated. Not many people knew that Irene was taking part in the blind date program. She didn't want to tell anyone either. Jordan apparently didn't know about it since he was here looking for her. Should Thomas tell him or not?

"No more hemming and hawing. Tell me where she is!" Jordan pressed on Thomas when he saw that Thomas was reluctant. "I'm telling you, I really have something very important to do with her."

"Irene went to the TV station to record a program." Thomas was worried that Jordan really had something urgent, so he told him the truth.

"Record a program? What program?"

"A blind date program."

"This woman!" Jordan's face darkened. She went to participate in a blind date program when he was left heartbroken. She was deliberately trying to torture him and crush his spirit!

Jordan turned around with a grim face without saying a word and stomped off the shabby stairs of the tube-shaped apartment building. He ran downstairs, turned around, and went upstairs again. Then he knocked on the door one more time. "What blind date program is she participating in?"

Thomas told him the name of the show. Jordan went downstairs again with a dark face.

He cursed indignantly on his way back, "What a heartless woman! How dare you play these dirty tricks behind my back! Wait and see how I will punish you when you come back!"

He still felt angry after that and called David, "Do you know the blind date reality show the TV station in San Fetillo is working on?"

"Why are you asking?" David was busy as a bee every day. How could he have time to pay attention to TV shows?

"What do I need you for? You don't even know about a reality show!" Jordan swore and hung up the phone.

David felt so aggrieved. Mr. Reed was being ridiculous and unreasonable. But he had to put up with him since he worked for him. He had to figure out what was wrong with this blind date show.

Of course, David had heard a little about the show before as it was very popular. He was just curious why Mr. Reed took an interest in it.

David turned on the computer and searched for the videos as soon as he got home. He thought something was wrong with his eyes when he saw Irene on the screen, wearing dental braces.

He was not wrong. Her name was Irene Nelson, and her figure looked familiar as well. Her braces were the only thing that looked odd. Why did Executive Assistant Nelson make herself look like this on a blind date program? 

David was so confused by what he saw. It was extraordinary for a beautiful woman like Irene to dress like an old maid when she was around Mr. Reed. Other women who participated in the show all dressed up nicely. Yet, she wore braces on purpose and called herself a single mom. 

"Wait, Executive Assistant Nelson is a single mother?" David was dumbfounded. Was this true? She looked so young. How could she be a mom?

Was it a publicity stunt? David couldn't figure it out, so he picked up the phone and called Jordan, "Mr. Reed, I saw Executive Assistant Nelson in that blind date program."

"I'm not blind!" Jordan roared fiercely. He also turned on the computer and searched for the video when he got home. Somehow, he felt a little better when he saw that Irene made herself ugly.
