Ex-Husband Got Crazy When I Disappear

Chapter 16 In my memory , he had never looked at me like that curious , suspicious , and mixed with emotions I couldnt quite grasp .

I felt like I was frozen in place , as if under a spell .

Joanna quickly wepped in , trying to break the tension .

Youre amazing , Mrs.

Parker .

I really want to learn from you , she said , adopting a humble and almost pitiful demeanor in front of Hayden Hayden looked at her with genuine concem .

Take your time .

Joanna nodded eagerly , pouring all her energy into her response to Hayden .

Tll definitely learn everything for you .

I watched them , feeling numb inside , completely unaware of Seans piercing gaze on me from behind .

After the tour .

I intended to go back to the secretarys office .

But Hayden had some important guests , and I needed to stay .

As his secretary , it was my duty to assist with everything , including serving drinks .

As I stepped into the meeting room with the coffee tray .

I spotted Marlon .

He was deep in conversation with Hayden , but the moment he caught sight of me , his piercing gaze locked onto me , Ms.

Jackson , youre here too ? he inquired , sounding intrigued but not exactly shocked .

I had a strong feeling he had known I had been working hard here for a while .

I forced a smile and set the cup in front of him .

Mr.

Warner , heres your coffee .

Marlon nodded and then shot a teasing smile at Hayden .

I heard you even have a college girl with you .

Mr.

Parker ? Lucky guy The news about Joanna had already spread through the circle , and nobody seemed to care about keeping quiet in front of Hayden Unfazed , Hayden leaned back in his chair and met Marlons eyes with a slight smile .

Its just a new secretary , Mr.

Warner , Youre making a big deal out of nothing A secretary ! Marlon turned his gaze towards me I could guess what he was thinking without him having to say more .

Yes , Mr.

Parker has been kind enough to give a university student a chance to learn , I replied , smiling .

Instantly , I noticed Haydens jaw tighten Marlon froze for a moment before bursting into lighter .

Youve got a great sense of humor , M.

Jackson Haydens eyes clouded over .

Knowing his anger was aimed at me .

I swiftly averted my eyes .

His cool , probing voice soon followed .

Tin curious when you got to know my wife , Mr.

Warner My heart missed a bear .

In all our time together , Hayden had never referred to me as has wife in front of others .

What had gotten into him now ? The smule faded from Marlons face .

He picked up on the possessive toue in Haydens words , which posed a real threat to him Recent rumors said Hayden was indifferent to his wife , that he left the country just a day after their wedding , and that he had come back with another woman .

A divorce seemed imminent .

But now , Marlon sensed that Hayden wouldnt divorce , if Hayden truly didnt care , why was there such displeasure in his eyes ? When a man was that possessive over a woman , he was unlikely to let go easily .

Weve known each other for a long time , Marlon said , locking his gaze on me His words threw me for a loop when had we ever met ? But thinking back , there was a familiarity about him .

I recalled how he treated us like long- lost pals , and I couldnt help but question if I had simply forgotten hitn ? As I was lost in thought , an unexplainable pressure suddenly surrounded me .

The air felt thin , and I struggled to breathe .

I quickly regained my composure and met Haydens sharp gaze .

I looked innocent what did this have to do with me ? Marton seemed to pick up on the tension and smoothly changed the subject .

Lets get back to business .

How many profit points are you willing to offer me , Mr.

Parker ! Thanks to his interruption , Hayden finally looked away from me .

Three percent , he replied flatly .

Since I really didnt feel like making one myself , I decided to take it to 500 Joanna stepped outside to talk to Sophia .

He had long since removed his wait Youfet and was wearing a thin white shirt , the sleeves rolled up to reveal his tanned arms .

I rarely got to see him looking so focused .

He seemed used to the routine .

Taking a sip of the coffee , he said .

If Marlon reaches out to you privately , just ignore him .

I snapped back to reality .

Whath Hayden looked a bit irritated as he met my gaze .

He doesnt mean well I raised an eyebrow , smirking .

Arent you overstepping a bir Hayden tried to answer , but then he suddenly reached up to pinch the bridge of his nose .

He had just been fully energized , ready to give me a lecture .

But in the blink of an eye , his expression turned a bit dazed , and I noticed a faint blush creeping onto his handsome face .

Was I imagining thingy Could Hayden actually be blushing ? That didnt make sense ; our conversation badnt been awkward at all .

As I puzzled over this , Hayden suddenly stared at me , his Leyes dazed .

What did you i you just give me to drink ? he asked Coffer .

Didnt you ask for it ! I replied canally , Yvonne Jackson , Hayden ground out my name , his teeth clenched .

I was completely baffled .

But before I could process what was happening , he suddenly stood up , covered the distance between us in a couple of spulek strides , and pulled me into his arms His warm breath lushed against my ears , and I felt his body heat radiating against me .

He was press pressed tightly against me , almost like he was trying to melt into me .
