Ex-husband’s Regret (Ryan and Charlotte) novel Chapter 470

Chapter 470 

Chapter 470 

After she got out of the car, I drove to SZ Technology. 

It was very close. I arrived in just a few minutes. 

After exiting the elevator, I walked to the front desk. “Hello, I’m here to see Mr. Smith.” 

“Do you have an appointment?” 

“No.” 

I smiled, not wanting to put her in a difficult position, and said, “Please wait a moment, I’ll call him.” 

As I turned to take out my phone to call Frank, a woman’s voice spoke up, “What’s going on?” 

At the front desk, “Paulina, she says she’s here to see Mr. Smith but doesn’t have an appointment.” 

“Here to see Mr. Smith?” 

The woman’s voice held a hint of confusion. When I turned to look at her, I caught a fleeting emotion in her eyes that was too quick to discern. “Who are you? I know everyone Mr. Smith is close with, but I’ve never seen you before.” 

Her words were a bit off–putting. 

So, I cooled my tone and replied coldly, “I’m Charlotte. Do you need to personally meet everyone Mr. Smith is close with to verify their identity?” 

“No, you’ve misunderstood me. It’s just that I’ve never heard Frank mention you.” 

She was dressed neatly and spoke in a proper tone, but her reference to Frank was more familiar, “As one of Frank’s most trusted people, I was just a bit curious. I hope you don’t mind.” 

“Really?” I replied with a faint smile. “Maybe it’s because he keeps his personal and professional life separate, and he didn’t think to introduce his girlfriend to his subordinates.” 

Paulina cocked her brows in surprise and asked, “Girlfriend?” 

I smiled. “Yes, his girlfriend.”

She composed herself. “Frank isn’t isn’t in his office right now.” 

“Not here?” 

I was taken aback. 

Before I left, I had messaged Frank, and he said he was at the company, just finishing a meeting. 

Paulina nodded. “Yes, he’s not here. Didn’t he tell you?” 

I clenched my fists and smiled. “It’s my fault. I was so focused on giving him a surprise that I didn’t realize he wasn’t in his office. I won’t disturb you guys anymore then.” 

With that, I turned and walked away without looking back. 

‘Damn you, Frank!‘ 

I got into the car and immediately dialed Frank’s number. He answered quickly, his voice carrying a hint of laughter, “Missed me?” 

I controlled my tone. “Where are you?” 

“In my office.” He sounded puzzled. “Didn’t you just ask?” 

I smiled, snapped a casual photo of the exterior, and sent it to him, “Check WhatsApp.” 

There was silence for a few seconds on his end, then he said, “You’re downstairs at SZ Technology?” 

“Where do you think?” 

“I’m not at SZ Technology.” Hearing the hint of displeasure in my tone, Frank clarified with a sharp voice. “Charlotte, I’m not lying to you. I’m indeed in my office, just not at SZ Technology. I’m at the Smith Group.” 

My heart skipped a beat. “You went to the Smith Group?”
