In the Blink of an eye ch 3

Chapter 3 Nobody’s Worth It
Robert glanced at her for a moment, then he left, leaving Lily alone with a stiff smile on her face. He’s petty, alright, she thought. Can’t even take a little hit.
Lily went back to her place that Robert gave her, which she had been staying for the past few days. The design was exquisite, but it wasn’t lively. After coming back, she kept all the food in the fridge and went back to her room.
As she lay on her bed, she took out the divorce certificate. When they went to register their marriage, none of them smiled, and both had a long face. Today, she smiled brightly in her divorce papers’ photo.
However, unbeknownst to anyone, she was happy when they were married, and that was only rivaled by her reluctance to be divorced.
She covered her face with the divorce papers and hid her reddened eyes, as if that could cover up her sadness. Just like that, she lay in her bed until the afternoon.
Then, she texted Samson, asking him if he was busy, and he called her. “Did you two really get divorced?” he asked.
Lily looked at the crimson certificate. “Yeah, we did. It’s still warm to the touch, the paper. Do you need a photo?”
“No need for that.” Samson sighed. “I’ve never seen you guys fight, so why did this happen?”
Lily smiled. “I didn’t propose this. You should ask your boss.”
“I ain’t that brave,” Samson quickly said.
Robert had always been aloof, so even though Samson had worked for him for years, he was still scared of his boss. On the other hand, even though Lily was his wife and on the same level as Robert, Samson could gossip with her and even tease her at times.
Not only was Samson not afraid of her, but he would throw the occasional witty remarks at her as well.
Lily sighed. “I called you because I have something to say. Robert told me to call you whenever I needed help.”
Samson was fine with this. “Sure. Tell me if you need anything.”
“I want to go on a trip. Will you pick a spot for me? And book the flight tickets and the hotel as soon as possible. The duration? Yeah, I don’t care about that. Right now, I have nothing but time and money. Robert gave me loads of money just so he can get divorced.”
Samson paused before asking, “Anywhere is fine?”
“No. Make sure it’s pretty and filled with hunks. You can’t be thinking of throwing me into the wilds,” she grumbled.
He laughed. “Sure. I’ll take a look and make the arrangements.”
As Lily wasn’t in a good mood, she hung up after finishing her business. After spacing out for a moment, she went outside. She would have eaten if she could, but lunch filled her up.
Ever the happy girl, Lily stood in the living room, trying to come up with an idea of how people let loose after a divorce, but her mindstorm didn’t give her anything.
Lily had no relatives or friends, so she had nobody to pour her heart out to. Left with no choice, she checked online, which showed her tons of answers.
She clicked on the first link and thought the advice of getting drunk sounded fine. At least, it was better than going for one-night stands. Even though the divorce saddened her, she wasn’t going to fall this hard. Nobody was worth that.
