The executive fought the urge to rub his eyes. He wondered if he was seeing things.
Was this real?
The CEO of Henderson Group was married, and he was clearly smitten.
"No need. She won't be coming by for now."
The executive was quick to catch on. Almost immediately, he leaned in.
"Ah… Did you guys hit a rough patch? You've been so swamped with work, especially with those overseas meetings. Maybe spend more time with her? Feelings can grow if you give them time."
As he spoke, he snuck a peek at the name on the marriage certificate. He wanted to know what kind of woman had managed to win over a man like Ethan. However, the second he saw the name, he flinched. This time, he actually rubbed his eyes hard.
Wait a minute. That name looked familiar… and so did the woman in the photo.
Grace Lambert?
Practically everyone at Henderson Group knew who that was.
Back when Grace worked here, she stuck to Yancey like glue. She used to be head over heels for Yancey, and if any woman got too close to him, she would chase them off without hesitation and then go right back to doting on him.
Grace was undeniably beautiful. Even celebrities didn't compare to her looks. However, the way she constantly trailed after Yancey made plenty of people dislike her.
The executive thought that maybe his eyes were playing tricks on him and maybe it was just someone with the same name. Yet that photo couldn't lie, and that was definitely Grace's face. Moreover, she didn't look happy in the photo.
Ironically, it was Ethan's expression that carried a hint of gentleness in the photo.
The executive wished he could unsee it. Honestly, why did he even look? He just felt incredibly conflicted now.
Why did it have to be Grace, of all people, who ended up with Ethan?
He sighed inwardly. Then, he backed away silently, pretending to have seen nothing.
