Yann wrapped his arms around her waist naturally. “When it comes to you, nothing’s small”
“Mr. Winifred.” Malcolm stopped about three feet behind Audrey and nodded respectfully “Today’s hearing went fairly smoothly at the next count session, we’ll need to verify the two presentation files that were planted in the computer to prove Talia’s plagiarism.”
“Thank you,” Yann said in a low voice
“Just doing my job. If there’s nothing else, we’ll head out now.”
Yann nodded, and Malcolm left with his assistant in their own car. Yann opened the car door and carefully shielded Audre glanced back at Clayton, who stood frozen nearby.
Clayton looked like he’d swallowed a mouthful of bitter medicine. Every drop of blood in his body felt bitter, including the longing in his eyes that would never be fulfilled
He’d see Yann on financial news programs before–the CEO of Darkshell International, last year’s Outstanding Young Professional in Achboure Sonwone so young with so many achievements under his belt, a high–caliber elite who treasured the ex–wife Clayton had thrown away like garbage
Clayton had once believed that Audrey cared so much about him that if he ever decided to come back, she would definitely take him back. He was wrong. Audrey hadn’t given him a chance to return–she already had a better future waiting for her.
Yann’s gaze was Sharp and penetrating, and he carried the commanding presence that came with power. Even his stare folt overwhelmingly intimidating
Clayton found himself looking down helplessly under that direct gaze, and when he tried to step back, his heel caught on the steps and he nearly fell
By the time he steadied himself, the black sedan was already driving away, leaving him with nothing but taillights he could never reach
Inside the car, Audrey nestled against Yann’s chest, playing with his fingers. “Ms. Smollett said if we’re not in a rush to have the wedding, she’ll hold aff on meeting your dad for now.”
“I am in a rush,” Vann said honestly. “But I’ll go with whatever you decide.” He had been wanting to throw the wedding of the century for ages, toler everyone witness their happiness and put an end to all the rumors once and for all.
Audrey laughed, “I already signed the marriage license. Where am I going to run?”
She started to turn toward the car window, but before she could fully turn her head, Yann’s large and cupped her face and gently guided it back toward him. Audrey froze for a moment, then realized what he was thinking
I wasn’t looking at him,” Audrey said, lowering her head to tug at her collar. “The tag on the back of this shirt is bothering me
Despite Yann’s ability to command respect in the business world, he felt surprisingly insecure when it came to her. Sometimes he did childish things jut to get her attention.
Yann’s dark expression softened slightly as he gently stroked the back of her neck, which had turned a bit red.
Audrey suddenly thought of something and turned to look at him. “Don’t you have a meeting this afternoon instead of going home, why don’t I come with you and we can eat at your company cafeteria?”
A flash of brightness appeared in Yann’s eyes before he quickly returned to his usual composure. “Take us to the office,” he instructed Ryder to change
Normally, the car would drive straight into the company’s underground garage and they’d take the private elevator to the executive floor.

“Taking the long way won’t hurt,” Yann said casually.
Audrey desagreed, “Just park at the entrance. It’s only a few steps to walk –

Ryder was speechless.

When the elevator arrived, Yann waited for Audrey to step in before following her. The moment the doors closed, the receptionist could barely contain her excitement and rushed into the break area to share the news.
“That was Mrs. Winifred! The mysterious CEO’s wife we’ve all heard about”
“Oh my gosh, I finally saw her in person!”

Freya was waiting by the elevator with documents in her arms. When the doors opened and she saw Audrey first, her eyes lit up slightly. Then, she spotted Yann behind her.
Yann looked the same on the surface, but everything about him had changed. From the way he walked to how he surveyed his surroundings, he was liên a peacock strutting proudly among a flock of ordinary birds, practically showing off his magnificent tail feathers.
“This is my wife,” Vann said warmly, making the introduction.
“Good morning. Mrs. Winifred,” Freya deliberately raised her voice. The other secretaries who were busy at their desks immediately stopped what they were doing and stood up
As Audrey walked past them, they offered polite and respectful greetings. “Good morning, Mrs. Winifred.”
Audrey smiled and nodded in acknowledgment. Once they entered his office, she pinched his arm, “Are you done showing off yet?”
Vann took her hand, his eyes bright with warmth,
Freya knocked on the door and entered with a sphile, asking politely, “What would you like to drink, Mrs. Winifred? Coffee or juice
“Just water is fine,” Audrey smiled
Freya set down the coffee and was about to get water when Yann stopped her. “Those documents we sent back this morning Tall them to pick up the pace.

Freya’s mind started racing. They’d only rejected two documents that morning, and both had been completely shot down. Even with better efficiency. there was no way they could come up with new proposals immediately. She had questions but kept them to herpet
The moment she left the office, the other secretaries swarmed her. Freya learned that word had already spread through the work chat that Yarın had brought his wife to the company, and they’d walked through the front entrance together. She immediately understood what rann’s comment had y

So Freya sent word to all the department heads that they could bring over any tricky problems they’d been sitting on Yann was in a great mood today and even if he rejected their proposals, he wouldn’t lose his temper.
If Yann wanted to show off his wife in a big way, Freya would make sure his little wish came true.
Sure enough, Audrey had barely settled into her seat when people started knocking on the door
Operations, HR, compliance–even the legal department made an appearance, Yann introduced Audrey tirelessly each time, “She’s my wife
Audrey responded over and over with the same forced smile that was starting to make her face ache. “Nice to meet you.
The parade finally stopped when Yann left for a meeting. If Audrey hadn’t caught on at first, watching Yann reject proposal after proposal with an encouraging tone made everything crystal clear Yann was showing her off, plain and simple.
What’s there to be so smug about? I’m not some big celebrity. I’m just an ordinary person, Audrey thought
Audrey kicked off her shoes, planning to relax for a bit. She had just settled into the couch when the office door suddenly burst open.
