Attracted By My Ex-wife

"What does it have to do with you?" Thinking that Anne was only joking around, Kevin flashed an amused smile.

"I designed the main work of the M Group this time," she said matter-of-factly.

All of a sudden, the smile from his face had completely disappeared. 'This... she can't be serious, can she?'

Seeing that he was about to get angry at her, Anne bit on her lower lip. "That was my first design draft," she explained. "When I submitted it to M Group, our relationship was still in a bad place. Besides, I didn't have much confident in my work."

There was still a gloomy look on Kevin's face. Even though the M Group wasn't as well-known as the AN Group, it was still a reputable company, which was why it didn't make sense to him how she could go running to M Group when she claimed that she had little confidence in her work.

"Well, I'll have my assistant stop finding out the designer." Kevin stated with an exasperated sigh.

Daniel spent the whole afternoon looking up all of the designers at the M Group but still didn't find any clue. Kevin never expected that the one that they wanted to find was actually around him.

"I'm sorry, Kevin," Anne said apologetically. "I know I've hurt you with what I've done. It was all just a misunderstanding. You know I didn't mean to cause any damages to your company."

Smiling lightly, he walked towards her. However, since she still wasn't so sure how to read the expression on his face, she couldn't help but slowly step back away from him.

Rolling his eyes, he quickly closed the distance between them and held her arm. "What are you so afraid of?"

"I..." For a while, she hesitated. But when she looked carefully, there was a hint of playfulness in his eyes.

"Aren't you angry?" she asked warily.

"What use is there to get angry now?" With a shrug, he flashed a helpless but gentle grin at her.

She furrowed her delicate brows in confusion. It still didn't make sense to Anne why he wasn't mad at her. Seeing this, Kevin let out a small chuckle. "Since you were the one who designed this, I'm not really that worried anymore. I know that you weren't intending to harm the business. Plus, this is a good reminder that our ability in design needs to improve."

"Don't say that. Maybe it was just beginner's luck. It was my first design, after all." In truth, it was just a quick sketch she made out of a whim. When she was drafting it, she thought that it would be great if she would be able to sell it at least. It never crossed her mind that it would be such a big success.

"I know that this is the first time you've designed something and you still aren't that sure of yourself, but don't you think that this might be a good sign for you? You can do whatever you want, Anne. Don't worry about me or the company. I can see what a talented designer you are, and I'm here to help you in whatever way I can. If AN Group is not enough to get your career going, I can get you in touch with a better company." Kevin paused, lightly rubbing his chin as he looked at her thoughtfully. "Or better yet, we can create your very own personal brand," he added.

The solemnness in his voice finally made her feel relieved.

"I really thought you'd blame me for the decline in company's performance," Anne muttered sheepishly.

Now, she felt bad that she was so mean and defensive earlier.

I'm that unreasonable?" he asked in a low voice. Before she could
