Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1233

The two women froze, stretching their necks to check out the man’s hand. Sure enough, a simple silver ring glimmered on his long finger under the lights. Their faces fell all at once.

"Oh, that's such a pity..."

"Why are all the good guys already married?"

"His wife is so lucky. Seriously, to be married to someone that handsome and accomplished."

One of the women glanced across the room at the two experts laughing with James and added, a little sourly, "Yeah, and those two over there are top AI specialists in the field."

"Look at them all smiles... I'm sure they'll jump at the chance to work for him."

The two women sighed about the unfairness of the world, chatting half-heartedly as they wandered off.

Emmy stayed put, quietly watching James a moment longer. Out of nowhere, she remembered the way Abyss held his drink earlier. She frowned, found a spot in the corner, and pulled out her phone. Opening her chat with James, she searched for the death certificate and DNA report for Dean that he'd sent her before. She wanted to double-check some details.

But when she scrolled through her files, nothing showed up. Then it hit her—she'd run out of storage space on her old phone when she was logging experiment data a while back. She'd bought a new phone in Boston to keep things moving, but all the chat histories and files were still on her old phone, the one left back in her dorm.

Annoyed, Emmy pressed her lips together. She started typing out a message, about to ask James to resend the files, but paused. She was still mad at him. She hadn’t forgiven him yet. If she texted him first, wouldn’t it look like she was over it already, like she was too easy on him? That thought made her shut the chat window and put her phone away.

Whatever. She’d just deal with it when she got back to Boston.

Just as she was about to tuck her phone back into her bag, she noticed a red notification on her contacts. Someone new had sent her a friend request. Emmy tapped it open, and when she saw the note, her eyes narrowed for just a second.

[It's Mercedes.]

She let out a cold, silent laugh, ignored the request, and dropped her phone into her bag.

That was when John appeared. He looked like he’d been searching for her for ages. As soon as he spotted her in the corner, he strode right over.
