2/2 Chapter 15 James's face tightened with irritation . " I'm in a meet- " " Another meeting , right ? " Sarah cut him off , her voice turning cold . " Mr. Chancer , I can't be waiting for you forever . If we're getting divorced , stop dragging it out while planning your wedding . Playing the devoted groom while keeping me hanging - it's getting pathetic , " Sarah was done with Charlotte's little power plays , done with this pointless connection to James . She'd always been decisive - when she loved , she gave everything , and when it was over , she walked away clean . She wasn't deluded enough to think James's hesitation meant he cared .
