# Chapter 13: A Meeting at the Café
Hello everyone, it's me again! How are you all doing? Today I will continue to walk with you and review Chapter 13 of "REMARRIED AFTER I SECRETLY DIVORCED THE CEO" — a chapter filled with tension, unexpected kindness, and the quiet stirrings of something more between Autumn and the enigmatic Keith Sinclair.
Autumn turned around, and there he stood — a young man in a sharp black suit, gold-rimmed glasses perched on his nose, and a polite smile that seemed almost rehearsed. She studied him for a moment, certain she had never seen him before in her life. "Yes?" she asked cautiously.
The man's smile didn't waver as he introduced himself. "Hello, I'm Mr. Sinclair's assistant. My name is Jesse Grant. Mr. Sinclair is waiting for you at a nearby café."
Autumn's mind raced. Did the Sinclair heir really have nothing better to do than wait around in a café just to see her? That seemed... unlikely. Beside her, Selena's eyes went wide. She tugged on Autumn's arm and whispered urgently, "Autumn, the Mr. Sinclair he's talking about — could it be *that* Sinclair?"
Autumn shrugged. "You know the Sinclair heir? Not really. My uncle saved him once. That's about it. I don't really know him."
Selena stared at her in disbelief. Saving someone didn't count as knowing them? That was a stretch so wide it nearly broke reality. But before Autumn could say another word, Selena snatched her bag from the car and blurted out, "Autumn, I just remembered — my mom asked me to come home for dinner tonight. I've got to go!" And just like that, she vanished faster than a startled rabbit, disappearing into thin air.
Autumn shook her head helplessly and turned back to find Jesse still waiting patiently, as if he had all the time in the world. She braced herself and said, "Let's go."
Jesse gestured with a polite "this way" motion, then hesitated for the briefest second before falling into step beside her. As they walked, he noticed how tense she was and decided to ease her mind. "Ms. Lewis, you don't need to be so nervous. The money transfer earlier went smoothly because Mr. Sinclair helped make it happen."
"Huh?" Autumn looked at him, startled. She didn't understand.
"Normally, a transfer of that size would have required at least a day or two of review before the funds were cleared. But because Mr. Sinclair stepped in, the process was expedited."
So that was it. Keith had been pulling strings behind the scenes, making sure everything went smoothly for her. Autumn lowered her head, her heart suddenly heavy with uncertainty. Why would he do that? What did he want from her?
Inside the café, soft music played like a gentle lullaby. Keith sat by the floor-to-ceiling windows, dressed in his usual immaculate black suit. Sunlight spilled across his almost perfect profile, painting a golden halo along the edge of his face. Autumn took a deep breath and followed Jesse inside, quietly rehearsing in her head how best to start the conversation.
Jesse approached Keith and spoke with deep respect. "Mr. Sinclair, Ms. Lewis is here."
Autumn forced a smile. "Good afternoon, Mr. Sinclair."
Keith gave a small nod, lifted his eyes to meet hers, and gestured to the seat across from him. "Sit."
After escorting her in, Jesse promptly left the café, leaving them alone. Autumn sat down across from Keith, stiff and awkward, unsure where to place her hands or feet. Just then, a waiter approached and asked what she would like to drink. "A juice, please. Thank you," she replied politely.
Once the waiter left, she straightened her back, but it only made her feel more tense, like a student called before a stern principal.
Keith frowned slightly, his lips parting with a cool question. "You seem nervous around me."
"I'm not," Autumn said quickly, but her eyes darted around the room, avoiding his gaze like a guilty child. She tried to act casual by placing her hands on the table, but her fingers fidgeted nervously.
Soon, the waiter returned with their drinks — coffee for Keith, and a glass of juice placed in front of Autumn. Keith stirred his coffee with quiet elegance, the clink of the spoon against the cup the only sound between them. "You're planning to get a divorce?" he asked, his voice low and calm.
Autumn paused mid-sip. "Yes."
"Do you need help?"
"No need." She looked up and met his steady gaze. "Thank you for your help today. If it weren't for you, things wouldn't have gone this smoothly."
"No worries," he said simply, as if it were nothing.
Suddenly, Autumn's phone rang. It was from the real estate agency. A few days ago, she had stopped by to let them know she was looking to buy a place. She had given them her preferences, and they told her to wait. Well, apparently the wait was over.
Autumn glanced at Keith, then answered the call right in front of him. A cheerful voice came through. "Ms. Lewis, we've found a two-bedroom apartment that's ready for immediate move-in. Let us know when you're free to come take a look."
"Alright," Autumn replied, her voice steady.
After she hung up, she noticed Keith's gaze had deepened, fixed on her with an intensity that made her skin prickle. "You're looking to buy a house?" he asked.
She took a sip of her juice and nodded. "Yes."
She was getting divorced — it made sense to find a new place. Otherwise, she'd have nowhere to go, no roof over her head. The thought left a bitter taste in her mouth.
"Autumn," Keith suddenly called her name, his voice soft but firm.
She looked up at him, puzzled.
"If you ever run into trouble, you can call me." He pulled out his phone and opened the contact screen. "Let's exchange numbers."
Autumn wanted to say it wasn't necessary, that she didn't need his help. But when her eyes met the deep, unreadable look in his, the words got stuck in her throat. There was something about the way he looked at her — like he saw right through her walls, right into her soul.
Sensing her hesitation, Keith added quietly, "Don't overthink it. I'm just looking out for you on your uncle's behalf."
And with that, he left her no room to refuse.

## Reader's Impressions & Star Rating
This chapter was a beautiful dance of tension and vulnerability. I loved seeing the contrast between Keith's cool, powerful demeanor and Autumn's nervous uncertainty. The revelation that Keith had been quietly helping her behind the scenes added depth to his character — he's not just a cold, distant billionaire. There's genuine care beneath that polished exterior. The moment when he offered his number and said "I'm just looking out for you on your uncle's behalf" felt like a shield he's using to hide his true feelings. This chapter left me smiling and wanting more.
**⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.9 / 5 Stars**
## Next Chapter Prediction
I predict that Autumn will eventually cave and text Keith when she encounters a problem with her divorce proceedings or house purchase. And when she does, I believe Keith will show up in person, not just through a phone call. There's a storm brewing between these two — and I have a feeling the next chapter will bring them closer together, whether Autumn likes it or not.
