The Ex and Her Riches

Chapter 463 I Shall Accompany You

As Kieran’s fingers froze over the keyboard, he found himself glancing subconsciously at the time on the bottom right corner of his computer screen.

He quickly did the calculation in his head. He had only an hour and a half left before the end of the day, yet a pile of paperwork still awaited him. It would take him at least fifteen minutes. to make a cup of coffee.

Inez reminded him, “Mr. Harris, you have already wasted two minutes in a daze.”“

Startled into action, Kieran rose from his desk and headed toward the pantry to prepare the coffee.

A few employees were already there, idling away their break over a cup of coffee.

As soon as Kieran stepped in, all eyes turned toward him like magnets as they stared fixedly at his sternly handsome face.

A quiet flurry of whispers followed.

The head of the sales department, Dora Torres, was visibly starstruck. “Is this really Ms. Mossey’s new secretary? Such a good-looking man with a fine stature and excellent. demeanor is almost irresistible.”

Other female employees chimed in enthusiastically, “Pursue him, then. Rumor has it he’s single. Once he’s taken, there won’t be another chance like this!”

“He applied for a secretarial position here, so he’s probably not wealthy. I think you should think this through,” one woman said.

Unfazed, Dora retorted, “What’s there to be afraid of? I have money. I can support him! All he needs to do is to be tall, handsome, and physically fit!”

The other women clicked their tongues and playfully pushed Dora over. “What are you waiting for? Go get him!”

Dora stumbled forward and fell toward Kieran, who was engrossed in making coffee.

Although he was focused on brewing the coffee, he had heard every word they said.

Swiftly, he sidestepped as Dora lunged at him. Her nose made a harsh collision with the coffee machine, narrowly avoiding a bloody mess.

Throughout the whole incident, Kieran maintained his stoic demeanor, never once sparing the woman a sideways glance. He continued to stir his freshly brewed coffee.
