When the Contract Marriage Ended, He Stayed

Chapter 16: I Have No Feelings For You

Downstairs at Sterling Group.

The bustling crowd of pedestrians couldn’t help but stop and stare at the limited-edition Maybach parked by the roadside, wondering which big shot was inside.

Hazel Hawthorne came downstairs as soon as she got Aiden Xavier’s call. She smoothed her hair as she walked out. She didn’t need to look for Aiden in the crowd; she just had to find the most expensive or eye-catching car on the street, and she’d know where he was.

Sure enough, the moment she saw the Maybach parked at the entrance, she couldn’t help but silently roast Aiden Xavier. ’He really loves attracting attention, always making such a high-profile entrance. Every time I see it, I get the urge to run and hide.’

Hazel was about to call out for Aiden to drive the car forward, but he opened the door and strode directly toward her.

Hazel instinctively covered her face with her hands as all the intense stares that followed Aiden now flooded toward her.

Aiden Xavier was truly high-profile and loved to flaunt his wealth.

"What took you so long?"

Hazel lifted her hand and glanced at her watch. Aiden had called five minutes ago to say he’d arrived, and she had come down immediately. He had waited five minutes at most, and he called that ’long’?!

Hazel was speechless and couldn’t be bothered to argue. She dodged Aiden’s outstretched hand, hurried past him, and said quickly, "Let’s go. My colleagues are about to come out."

Aiden’s empty, outstretched hand and the sight of Hazel’s rapidly retreating back made him look like a heartbroken man trying to win back the woman leaving him.

The scene was almost picturesque, yet tinged with awkwardness.

It was mainly because Aiden had a devilishly handsome face; no matter where he went, he was always the center of attention.

"Hurry up!" Hazel urged.

It was her first day of work, and she didn’t want everyone to know about her relationship with Aiden Xavier. She just wanted to live a quiet life, not one surrounded by strange looks or envious gazes.
