Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 210

In the Well Hotel.

The bed looked so inviting with the fluffy, white sheets draped over it.

Rose lay on the bed, looking anything but well-rested.

"No, no, let me go." With a scream, Rose swiftly sat up on the bed.

Her eyes were instantly filled with panic when she saw that she was in a hotel. After a while, she came back to her senses and realized that this was her room.

"Mr. Mark, what are you doing here?" Rose asked in horror.

When she recalled what had happened yesterday, she remembered that she had run into a terrible guy at the bar and Mark had saved her.

"Good. You're awake I'm leaving now," Mark said coolly.

He had only stayed because he was worried about Rose. Now that he could be sure she was fine, it was time for him to leave.

"Don't go yet," Rose pleaded, still traumatized from the events of yesterday.

Mark stopped in his tracks as a bitter smile formed on his mouth. In all honestly, he didn't want to stay because she was Kevin's fiancee and he didn't like Kevin. He also thought that it wasn't a good idea to be in the same hotel room with someone who was already engaged. Unfortunately, he wasn't the type to refuse people.

"Miss Rose, are you still scared? Do you want me to ask Kevin to accompany you?" He felt that what Rose needed more now was Kevin.

A momentary confusion flashed in Rose's eyes. She was almost certain that Kevin wouldn't come even if something serious had happened to her.

"It's fine. I'm sure he's very busy. I was just a little shaken up. If you have something to do, you can leave now. I'm sorry for bothering you," Rose said, unable to hide the disappointment in her voice.

She clutched her legs against her chest and rested her chin above it, a blank look on her face.

Mark's heart softened as guilt welled up inside him.

"Well, I guess I can stay for a little longer. I can leave at around six." He glanced at his watch—it was only five in the afternoon.

"Only an hour..." Rose mumbled, sighing.

"Well, I'm glad to have someone with me." After all, if Mark insisted on leaving, she could do nothing to stop him.

"Mr. Mark, why are you being so kind?" she asked in curiosity.

"Well, I'm not always so patient, you know. Maybe I just got used to my brother bullying me that I eventually developed a good temper." Mark smiled gently. While he liked teasing his brother, he was very close to him.

"It must have been fun to have a brother as a child. I probably have a sibling but I've never met him or her. I don't know what he or she looks like either," Rose said worriedly.

Although Mark didn't know what she was talking about, he merely nodded with a smile in response.

In the AN Group.

Kevin's office had been closed. He looked tired and absent-minded as he perused through documents.

Suddenly, a knock came on the door. Kevin grabbed the remote control by his side and pressed a button that removed the door screen. His assistant then came into a view holding a piece of paper.

His assistant came in. Distress laced in his tone, he said, "Mr. Kevin, you've already postponed all the work. We only have until next month. This is the contract of the KIA Group. We need to sign this right away. It's already been delayed for more than a year. The KIA Group is quickly rising. We need to establish good relations with them. We can't alienate them right now especially considering their rapid progress."

"Postpone it." Kevin was in a terrible mood. He couldn't care less about the KIA Group right now.

"Got it. I'm leaving now, Mr. Kevin," his assistant said.

As his assistant turned to leave, Kevin suddenly stopped him.

"Do you know where Anne is?" It was typical of Kevin to be cold and distant. Most employees were already accustomed to this.

"Not yet," his assistant responded nervously.

The disappointment in Kevin's face was undeniable at the mention of Anne.

He had been working for Kevin for about three or four years now. As far as he could recall, Kevin despised Anne. Thus, seeing Kevin so concerned and worried about Anne now came as a surprise to him.

"I'm doing all I can to find her. I assure you I'll locate her, Mr. Kevin," his assistant said affirmatively.

"You can leave now." Despair filled Kevin.

Previously, he'd always been able to find her. But things seemed different this time around—it was almost as if she disappeared without a trace, nowhere to be found.

"Anne? Where the hell are you?" Kevin cried in anguish.

He was slowly losing motivation to go on with his life. Even then, he knew that none of this would be happening if it weren't for his own mistakes. All of this was his fault. He never would've lost Anne had he treated her better.

In the office of the KIA Group.

The documents that had been returned lay on the white leather sofa.
