Chapter 49
âYou wouldnât know Iâm looking at you unless youâre looking at me as well,â I retorted.
âItâs normal for me to look at my own wife,â he said shamelessly.
His words caught me off guard, and I couldnât bring myself to ask the question I had intended.
The Frost Group towered above us, its glass facade reflecting the morning sun like cut diamonds.
After Gary parked the car in the car park, I immediately got out and wanted to escape the
scene.
âMorning, Charlotte!â Nancy suddenly ran over from nearby, looking energetic as she greeted me enthusiastically.
I smiled and grabbed her arm, urging her to walk. âGood morning. Letâs walk quickly. Itâs too cold.â
âCharlotte, you forgot your breakfast.â
Behind me, Ryan opened the car door and stepped out, calling after me.
I took a deep breath, turned around to take the breakfast, and spoke as distantly as possible,â Thank you, Mr. Frost.â
âYoung lady, are you and Mr. Frostâ¦â Nancy hooked my arm and leaned in with a flirtatious wink. âWhen did you two get together? Are you Mr. Frostâs secretly married wife?â
âNoâ¦â I didnât want to stir up trouble before the divorce. If such news reached Jessica, there was no telling what would happen, so I subconsciously denied it.
In the meantime, Ryan was taking advantage of his long legs and had already passed us by.
Nancyâs words, undoubtedly, fell directly into his ears. However, he chose not to refute her in
any way.
Wideâeyed, Nancy watched as the elevator designated for the CEO closed. âCharlotte, thereâs no point in denying anymore. Mr. Frost has admitted it!â
âWhen did he admit it?â
âSilence speaks louder than words!â
I sighed helplessly, feeling increasingly unable to argue with this fresh graduate.
However, Nancy seemed to have a sense of propriety. Once inside the elevator, she remained silent.
It wasnât until we entered
My office that she resumed her gossiping.

âCharlotte, I canât believe it! Iâve been working under the CEOâs wifeâs nose all this time!â
âDid you really marry Mr. Frost three years ago? Do you have any children?â
âI mean, Mr. Frost used to tint the glass windows every time he entered your office, and I never realized the relationship between the two of you!â
My head began to ache from listening to Nancyâs ranting. âNancyâ¦â
She snapped to attention. âWhat is it, Mrs. Frost?â
I couldnât help but smile. âMake me a cup of coffee. And please, donât address me like that.â
âSure thing.â She quickly left, walking confidently. In no time, she returned with a cup of coffee.
Resting both hands on my desk, she asked eagerly, âCharlotte, can you get tickets for Easonâs concert?â
âEason is a very popular Cherian male singer, and tickets for his concerts usually sell out within seconds. This time, his concert in Jelaston is sponsored by one of the Frost Groupâs subâbrands, and there should be internal tickets.
I was surprised. âYou like Eason too?â
âYeah, do you like him too?â
âWell, especially during university. Back then, his songs were all that I listened to.â
I smiled ruefully and agreed, âLet me see what I can do about the tickets for you.â
After Nancy left, I opened the lunchbox and found not only breakfast inside but also a jewelry box with a note attached.
âCharlotte, Happy 8th Anniversaryâ
Looking at the calendar, I couldnât help but freeze.
He actually remembered.
That day was the anniversary of the day when we first met.
