Attracted By My Ex-wife

"Well, you go ahead and do your work. Then maybe you can accompany me after, okay?" There was a pout on Cherry's face as she looked up at Kevin with her big eyes.

"Okay. After." Slowly, Kevin pushed away her hand from his chest.

There was a faint smile on his face that didn't quite reflect in his eyes. In fact, it was easy to see that he looked a bit irritated. However, Cherry didn't seem to notice.

"I'll be going now. Drive carefully." She pressed her lips against his cheek and kissed him again, her face blushed shyly.

"Yeah." As soon as Cherry got off the car, the smile on Kevin's face disappeared completely as his brows furrowed together.

Meanwhile, as Anne sat in the office, she couldn't keep her mind off what she had seen. It was incredibly upsetting for her to witness Cherry and Kevin kissing each other passionately.

'No, enough!' She shook her head as she tried to push back those thoughts to the back of her head. Much to her dismay, the scene was so deeply engraved to her thoughts, making it impossible to forget.

"Hey, Anne. What's up with you? You look a little pale. Are you alright?" Emily asked worriedly when she saw Anne's brows furrow deeply.

Straightening up in her seat, Anne sighed. "I'm fine. Don't worry about it." With a forced smile, she looked up at her friend reassuringly.

"Are you sure thought? You're clearly not looking too good..." Emily knew that Anne was a strong woman. Even if she did not feel that well, she would keep on working, which was why it was worrying right now to see her so out of it.

"I'm really fine. Don't worry about me." With a slightly bigger smile, she patted Emily's hand.

"We are going to meet Mr. Ryan in half an hour. I'm sure he's on his way right now. There are a lot of details we need to talk about later at the meeting."

With a shrug, Emily briefed her about the day ahead of them.

"Alright. Go and prepare. I'll head off to the conference room in a while so I can welcome him."

There was a clear, professional tone in her voice. Even though her relationship with Ryan was not exactly that ordinary, she knew when and how to separate work and personal affairs.

Later that day, Anne made her way to the conference room and waited. About five minutes later, she heard Emily's voice come from outside.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Ryan. Our vice president is waiting for you. Please, follow me."

At the next second, the door opened. Looking up, Anne saw Ryan's tall figure appear in front of her.

He looked so sharp in his silver-gray suit, his pale, blonde hair scattered across his forehead. From the moment he entered the room, he was completely transfixed by Anne.

"Long time no see, Mrs. Anne."

With a gentle smile on his face, Ryan reached out his hand to her. The charming smile at the corners of his mouth made him look more handsome.
