A Second Chance at Forever

Chapter 4

“What? What?”

Jeannie seemed to have heard some earth–shattering secret and excitedly pulled Amanda. “Isn’t it said that Mr. Laurence isn’t interested in women? He actually had a first love? And she’s the soon–to–be CEO of our company?“-

Amanda laughed and patted Jeannie’s hand. “You don’t even know this little bit of gossip in the social circle, how can you survive in the CEO’s office?”

Jeannie hurriedly pulled Amanda’s sleeve and acted cute: “Please tell me!”

Amanda lowered her voice and shared, “Mr. Laurence and the chairman’s daughter were childhood friends who grew up together. It’s rumored that five years ago, Mr. Laurence proposed to Ms. Ratliff. However, she declined his proposal in favor of focusing on her studies, leading to some conflict between them. They haven’t been in contact for the past five years. But as soon as she returned to the country, Mr. Laurence personally went to the airport to pick her up. This is sufficient evidence of Mr. Laurence’s deep affection for this female CEO.”

Jeannie gasped, covering her mouth with excitement in her eyes. “Oh my God! That’s such an enviable love story!”

Eleanor’s breath caught in her throat, and her complexion gradually drained of color.
