After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back

Maria smiled faintly and waved at Sidney, like greeting an old friend. Sidney, however, coldly averted his gaze and walked off with Diana.

Herman chuckled lightly. "You're Tiana's friend, no need to be so formal with me."

Maria's smile became a bit more relaxed. "Tiana is Tiana, and you're you. It's not the same."

Maria got out of the car. "Goodbye, Mr. Evans."
