Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts

Chapter 89

Amelia glanced up at her when Ines passed by Amelia's office, and Ines, as usual, smiled and nodded at her.

Ines knocked on the door of Amelia's office and walked in: "Ms. Young, here's the contract I just drafted."

After going through it, Amelia only pointed out some minor issues. She handed the contract back to Ines and said nonchalantly: "I always thought your husband was just an average Joe."

Ines was somewhat taken aback, not expecting her direct boss to delve into such personal matters. She smiled wryly and answered, "In my heart, he's just my husband, indeed a very ordinary role."

No matter what kind of person Ethan was out there, at least at home, he was a loving husband.

Amelia didn't overthink it and asked again, "Then what was the deal with the man I saw the other day?"

Ines had always felt that Amelia had a misunderstanding about her relationship with Aiden, but she never found the right opportunity to explain. Since it came up today, Ines had nothing to hide: "In my heart, my husband is the best. With such a good man, any woman who can't keep her heart in one place would either be a fool or a nutcase."

Ines received a call from Ethan at noon, asking her to come to his company and go shopping with him after work. Ethan insisted that their love nest shouldn't be too dull.

It was Ines' first time at the Galeana Group. Looking at the building, she couldn't help but think: "I've really married into the lap of luxury."

It was then that she finally realized the gap between them.

She couldn't help but smile to think that such a wonderful man was her husband. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

Ines walked into the building and was about to head towards the elevator when the receptionist at the front desk stopped her: "I'm sorry, miss. This is the Meyer Group, and we don't allow strangers to enter freely. Who are you looking for?"

"I want to meet Ethan."

The receptionist was taken aback, looking at Ines with wide eyes. Many women had come looking for him, but none had ever called Mr. Meyer by his name. This was the first one.

"Do you have an appointment?"

"Nope."

"I'm really sorry, but I can't let you go up without one."

"Then could you please call your CEO and tell him that Ines is here?" Ines smiled and didn't make things difficult for the receptionist. After all, it was her job.

The receptionist was going to refuse at first, but Ines had a pleasant demeanor and an aura different from others, so she called Lucas, who told her to keep the visitor.

Soon after, Lucas hurried down, smiling at Ines: "My lady, I'm sorry. I got busy this morning and forgot to notify the front desk."

Ines smiled, "It's okay."

The receptionist was dumbstruck. There had been rumors recently that the CEO had got married.

The general reaction was of dismissive laughter, nobody taking the notion seriously given the CEO's longstanding celibacy over the years.

However, the truth was indeed contrary, and she had just encountered the CEO's spouse in the flesh.

She patted her chest, thanking her lucky stars that she hadn't offended anyone with her attitude just now.

Lucas reiterated, "Next time, take this lady directly to the CEO's office when she comes."

"Got it, Lucas."

Ethan was still in a meeting. After Lucas took Ines to the office, he went back into the meeting room. Ines was alone in Ethan's office, which was designed top-notch from the inside out.

But it was a bit sparse, with not much stuff, just a desk, bookshelf, and sofa.

Ines casually pulled out a book from the bookshelf and sat on the sofa. After a while, Lucas came in and said the meeting might take a while longer to finish, and he could take her for a tour.

Ines thought it was boring to read alone, so she agreed to take a walk.

Lucas led Ines through the CEO's office, and just as he was about to reach for the elevator, a long- forgotten memory surfaced. If it weren't for the girl's stubbornness, he probably wouldn't remember it so clearly.

If he remembered correctly, it had been eight years. Back then, a female university student came to work at the Galeana Group just to see Ethan. She came early and left late, all just to catch a glimpse of Ethan.

At that time, the secretarial department was short of staff, and the HR department recommended her, saying she was competent and flexible. But when he found out she was the one who was always following Ethan around, he decisively rejected her.

She didn't seem disappointed and continued to stand in the same spot every day, either looking up or down, silently watching Ethan whenever he appeared.

He initially planned to let her leave the Meyer Group, but seeing her obedience, he didn't want to make things difficult for her. However, things always get out of control. One day, she couldn't hold back and suddenly rushed out from the corner, only to see Ethan holding another woman's hand.

He saw the disappointment in her eyes, and she turned around and left. From then on, she left the Meyer Group.

He felt a bit sad. He knew the ins and outs of the matter, but he never told Ethan. Ethan was oblivious to the fact that there was a girl silently watching over him.

Later, Mr. Galeana publicly cut ties with his biological daughter, and people dug up the reasons and even released photos. He recognized her at a glance and even felt sorry for her for a while.

He originally thought they would never cross paths again, but to his surprise, she became Ethan's wife years later. Life is indeed unpredictable.
