Charis easily spotted him in the crowd. Three years had passed, yet Brandon still managed to make her weak in the knees. Her heart raced at the mere sight of him. Charis slept late last night and hadn’t fully recovered from the jet lag.

But the excitement to meet Brandon seemed to energize her in an instant. She spent hours in front of the mirror, dressing up to impress him. Now, she was confident about her looks. All the senior executives came to talk to Charis.

She politely greeted them and walked to Brandon.

“Long time no see, Brandon.” Charis smiled and clinked her glass with his.

She wanted to hug him and tell him how much she missed him and how lonely she had been for the past three years.

A smile tugged at the corners of Brandon’s lips. He took a sip of the red wine, staring into the distance. It looked like he was thinking about something else.

“You must be tired after the long journey. Welcome back.” Charis sat beside Brandon. She wanted to spend her entire day talking to him. She thought Brandon would inquire about her personal life and what she had been doing for the past three years.

But he was sipping on his wine without uttering a word.

Brandon’s indifference broke Charis’s heart. “We are meeting each other after three years! Don’t have anything to say to me?”

Brandon put down his glass and looked at her. “We have made huge profits from the overseas market this time. The company has decided to reward you for that.”

Charis arched an eyebrow and looked at him with expectant eyes.

“I obviously don’t want to work for free. What reward will I get?”

“During the meeting with the senior executives, we decided to give you a promotion along with a raise. In addition to that, you will also get extra shares and a bonus. We will always treat you fairly,” Brandon said calmly. Charis’s jaw tightened; she was utterly disappointed.

Brandon only regarded her as an excellent employee. However, Charis wanted to earn his love and care, not monetary rewards.

“You haven’t changed at all.”
