Chapter 174 Went to His Office
No one knew Jacob's preferences better than she did. It was not difficult to please him, but the difficult
part was whether he gave her the opportunity.
For example, during that time in the past, she had prepared dinner countless times and waited for him
again and again, but he still hadn't come back in the middle of the night.
When he was heartless, she could do nothing to change his mind. No matter what she said or did, she
couldn't see him.
This phone call was her trial, and it was clear that he was no longer as heartless as before.
After preparing dinner, Avery took a car to his company.
Avery held the food box and pondered seriously. The mastermind behind all this knew everything about
them, which meant that person was likely to be around Jacob.
Who could it be?
Obviously, it was not Jason and John. Madison was too careless to keep secrets. Could it be someone
from his company?
Before the divorce, Avery had never been to his company. At that time, she thought he was protecting
her well enough, but now she realized it was just a joke.
His engagement with Layla was well-known by the public, and the news about the two of them was
everywhere.
As for her identity, it hadn't changed much. Whether in the past or now, they were in a secret
relationship.
Avery took the president's elevator to the top floor. At this time, most of the people in the company had
already left work.
Only his secretary's office was still working overtime with him.
Avery paused and stayed for a few seconds at the door.
He had a total of six secretaries, four males and two females. She could probably recognize them.
When she looked inside, she happened to make eye contact with the woman sitting at the corner desk.
The woman raised her hand to adjust her glasses, and the reflective lenses made it difficult for Avery to
see her expression clearly. She felt it was strange instinctively.
"Mrs. Hill, the CEO's office is right ahead." John gestured for her to enter.
Everyone inside was busy, and Avery couldn't see much from just a glance. To not alert the enemy, she
quickly left.
"Rat-a-tat."
The sound of knocking came, followed by an extremely cold voice from inside, "Come in."
John opened the door for her and quietly stepped back. The people in the secretary's office quickly
went forward. "John, who was that young lady just now?"
It was worth noting that Jacob had always been disciplined in this regard. Apart from business
cooperation, no woman had appeared at this time before.
John reached out and tapped James's head. He was the only lively one in the secretary's office.
"Stop with the nonsense. Is the work done?"
James touched his forehead and muttered in a low voice. John glanced at everyone. "Focus on your
own work."
"Yes, John."
Everyone's eyes were filled with gossip, but no one dared to discuss it.
Avery looked up at Jacob who was writing swiftly. How ironic. She only came to his office after the
divorce.
He seemed to be immersed in his work and ignored Avery. She placed the food box neatly aside.
The sky had already darkened, and the city in the distance was lit up with countless lights, flickering
like stars.
Jacob's handsome face appeared even colder under the fluorescent lights, and his jaw was tightly NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
clenched.
He didn't even glance at her, and the atmosphere in the room was dead silent.
Avery couldn't figure out his thoughts. He didn't even hit her when she insulted him like that in the
morning, so he wouldn't hit her now.
With courage, Avery walked step by step toward Jacob. The closer she got, the more she could feel his
powerful aura.
Although he didn't say a word, his presence was intimidating.
Avery walked behind him, intending to patiently say a few kind words. But when she saw the back of
his head, Avery instinctively reached for the ashtray beside her.
