Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

The employees of Du's Group couldn't help but feel conflicted about Evan York. At first, when he pursued their Vice President Abby Du, it seemed genuine. But just as Abby began to open her heart to him, Evan abruptly confessed that he didn't love her. Instead, he turned his attention to someone else, only to fail in that pursuit and come crawling back to Abby. To many, his behavior was nothing short of insulting.

What did Evan think of Vice President Du? Did he see her as some sort of backup plan?

Abby wasn't just anyone. She was the cherished niece of the chairman, the beloved sister of the company president, and one of the most prominent figures in the Du family-one of the wealthiest families in Huyoniville. As the second daughter of the influential Du clan, Abby had no shortage of suitors. She didn't need to tolerate such half-hearted devotion.

But Evan wasn't concerned about what others thought of him. He stood by the company entrance, eyes glued to every car that drove out, determined not to miss Abby if she passed by.
