Chapter 246 Mistaking Him For The New CEO
My mind went blank, and I didn’t know how long I stood there like a statue.
Aaron’s outfit today was a complete makeover from his usual style. He was wearing a smart suit and shiny leather shoes. His medium-length brown curls were brushed back and secured with a band. He seemed more authoritative and collected, nothing like the scruffy guy he used to know,
“Mr. Trout”. Charlotte naturally greeted the man next to Aaron with a friendly smile, but her eyes locked on Aaron.
Aaron looked up at me and Charlotte.
He was sure that our eyes met for a split second.
“What are you gawking at?” Charlotte nudged me in the shoulder with her, bringing me back to reality. Charlotte had already taken the initiative to approach Giancarlo and Aaron. With no other choice, I trailed after her.
Sanity finally came back to me.
I felt a surge of shame over my worries of a week ago.
I was so bored.
Even if Aaron didn’t come here as the new CEO, it was still possible for him to come to Germany and Ulm for TWII.
“I know you? I wonder who you are.” Giancarlo looked at
Charlotte and held out his hand.

“Charlotte Charles, and this is Dr. Olive Woods. We are both members of Lab 3 and I am Dr. Olive’s research assistant.” Charlotte shook his hand and continued: “What a stroke of luck! We were talking about you.”
“Me?” Giancarlo looked at Aaron and asked, “About what?”
“About why you haven’t done the swearing-in ceremony or made any announcements.” Charlotte was so direct that I didn’t even have time to stop her.
All she could do was do my best not to look at Aaron, but it was too hard.
“Does TWH have that kind of ceremony?” Giancarlo looked a little surprised before turning to look at Aaron, as if he was looking for confirmation from the latter.
“I never heard of it.” Aaron
Charlotte finally sensed that something was wrong and her voice faltered. “Usually, there’s an inauguration ceremony for the CEO, right?”

Giancarlo’s eyes widened and he then he laughed. “Yes, but the thing is, I’m not the CEO.”
“That?” Charlotte’s face turned beet red.
She took a step back and looked in alarm at the two men before her. “Aren’t you the CEO? But I heard that you are the only one who has been working in the CEO’s office every day during this time.”
“The CEO is not the only one working in that office; Mrs. Charles.” Giancarlo’s smile was wide and gentlemanly.
He stepped forward and said, “Allow me to formally introduce myself. I am the secretary to the new CEO.
The revelation was like a bomb had gone off in my head.
Aaron was the new CEO of TWH.
In fact, he had harbored this suspicion when I saw him appear in the office just now, but I had made sure that he was only here to oversee things instead of staying here for a long time.
Now my self-deception has come to an end.
My ex-boyfriend became my big boss! How absurd! How absurd!
“But why?” I did not understand
Aaron made a name for himself at a young age. With such rare business savvy, why did he leave Manhattan and come to this small, remote place to be CEO instead of looking after the Morris Group and the public company he founded?
All eyes suddenly turned to me and I realized that he had blurted out the “why” out loud.
“I think he meant to ask why the real CEO showed up just a week later.” Charlotte clearly misunderstood me.
That was fine since I shared her doubts.
Giancarlo looked at Aaron and said, “Mr. Morris had a health problem and was confined to bed for a week. I took care of things in his name during that time.”
Aaron was s**k for a week!
wow
I instinctively looked at Aaron and immediately remembered that night.
It turned out that he had not deliberately tried to fire Adenauer. He really did have a health problem.
But he had always been physically robust. How could he suddenly get sick?
“Are you OK now?” I tried to sound calm to sound like a normal employee asking politely about the health of her boss.
Aaron fixed his gaze on me.
Clearly, he saw through my intentions, and his expression turned serious.

attention. This was a sign of his displeasure. “Dr. Woods, TWH is thrilled to have him on board.” She reached out for her hand, acting like he didn’t know me. My heart felt the tug on an invisible string. I had been longing for this moment, but when Aaron really treated me like a stranger, I felt like he was going to explode. I couldn’t contain my emotions. If I stay there any longer, I’d surely blow my
