"Just ignore him, sir," he advised, his voice tinged with a hint of disapproval. "You shouldn't get yourself too involved in this situation. Remember, Alice is your ex, and nothing concerning her should trouble you." His words were carefully chosen, meant to convey a sense of detachment and indifference. He knew that engaging in a confrontation would only serve to elevate the other party, a fact he was keen to impress upon his employer.Michael felt a surge of frustration at being disregarded in such a manner.

"The initial challenge," Mrs. Thompson began, her voice steady, "is to convince him that you can assist him in moving past his divorce.""So, he's a divorcee," Alexa inquired, seeking clarification, to which Mrs. Thompson simply nodded in confirmation."His wife has recently divorced him, leaving him hesitant to embrace the next chapter of his life," Mrs. Thompson elaborated, a hint of disdain evident in her tone.
