Upon learning that Heath was the CEO's secretary, Noah deduced that the man beside him must be a high-ranking executive in Barrett Group.

Heath reaffirmed, "I am the CEO's secretary, so naturally, this gentleman here is my boss, Mr. Timothy Barrett, the CEO of Barrett Group."

Noah's face visibly drained of color upon hearing Heath's revelation.

Though he felt a sense of familiarity upon seeing Timothy, Noah struggled to recall where they might have crossed paths before.

However, with Heath's clarification, Noah's memory was jogged. Timothy was indeed the CEO of Barrett Group.

He had glimpsed him once from afar during a brief encounter in a certain business circle.

Just then, Noah's legs momentarily weakened, nearly causing him to lose his balance. With a hesitant stutter, he turned to Mia and asked, "I-I-Is she Mr. Barrett's former wife?"
