Goodbye You Never Loved Me novel (Martha and Stefan) novel Chapter 556

As Martha stepped through the doors of the Doyle Group, everyone was surprised and gaping at her in shock.
Almost everyone knew that Martha had run away from her wedding. What was supposed to be a grand century wedding had turned into a venue with only the groom and guests waiting for her arrival.
Most people thought that Martha would never return, but they were all surprised when she suddenly appeared at this moment.
And what was even more surprising was that Stefan, the groom who had been left behind and became a hot topic among A City's upper class society, was following behind her.
The receptionist quickly regained composure and greeted them, "Mr. Harrison, Ms. Doyle, morning!"
The rest of the lazy employees quickly returned to their positions and worked diligently while exchanging glances with each other.
As a CEO of a large corporation, how could he pretend like nothing happened after such an embarrassing runaway bride incident?
Martha turned to Stefan and said, "I'm here now; you can go take care of your things."
Stefan gently held onto her waist and said in a deep voice, "Let me stay with you for a little while longer."
He knew that what these employees in the office were thinking about, so he would stay here for a while longer to show PDA in front of them.
Martha was startled by his sudden intimate gesture towards her.
She wasn't used to being too intimate in front of others.
However, it seemed as if Stefan wanted everyone to see how much he doted on Martha.
"They're watching us."
Blushing, Martha pushed him away before taking another step forward only to accidentally step on something beneath her feet.
She wore casual shoes today with loose shoelaces decorations on top which came undone.
Just as she bent down trying tie them up again herself, Stefan beat her there first by crouching down beside her and earnestly tying up those shoelaces for her instead.
"Ah! I can't take it anymore! How can Mr. Harrison spoil Ms. Doyle so much? This couple is just too sweet! I ship them!"
"Shh. Keep your voice down or they might hear us. Don't tell me you don't want to work at the Doyle Group anymore?"
The employee who spoke first quickly shut up, while glancing occasionally in the direction of the two people. He muttered under his breath, "What a match!"
As soon as Martha and Stefan left the office area, the employees discussed heatedly.
"Hey hey hey, don't you guys think that our Ms. Doyle appears particularly tender and lovely in front of Mr. Harrison?"
"I feel the same."
"To be honest with you, I secretly took a photo."
One person shook his phone and pulled up a photo to show everyone. The picture prominently displayed the heartwarming scene of Stefan crouching down to tie Martha's shoelaces moments ago.
The man was handsome and the woman was beautiful, making the scene incredibly pleasing to the eye!
Within an hour, news of Martha's return with Stefan by her side flooded the headlines of major news outlets.
The two parties also received a message push on their mobile phones, with a picture of the two of them.
[Secrets of A City's rich family - Revealing Why the Big Shot is Obsessed with the same lady]
Martha couldn't help but blurt it out.
She looked up at Stefan and shook her phone, suddenly wanting to tease him.
So she walked over and sat down next to him.
"Why do you think this big shot is so fond of that particular lady?"
"This question will be answered by the big shot himself."
Stefan answered and leaned in closer.
The originally large sofa appeared much smaller due to his approaching.
Just as he was about to kiss her, Martha's phone suddenly rang.
She chuckled and pushed him away before answering the phone.
Stefan glared at the phone with a deep sense of resentment. If eyes could kill, the person on the other end of the line would have been torn to shreds by now.
"Wow! Martha, you're back! Oh wait, hold on. You came back and didn't tell me first? I actually found out from a gossip magazine. Maybe you should reflect on yourself, hmm?"
On the other end of the phone, Melissa was extremely excited and spoke rapidly, leaving no room for Martha to interject with a single word.
"Oh, I see now. Are you too busy flirting with Stefan and forgetting about our friendship? Bros before hoes!"
Martha smiled helplessly and said, "Okay, okay, I was wrong. Great writer, would you like to have dinner with me tonight as a compensation?"
"Of course."
Hanging up the phone, Martha finally noticed that Stefan was looking at her with a meaningful expression in his eyes.
"It's Melissa..."
"She knows how to pick her timing."
Although his tone sounded light and breezy, Martha still caught a hint of subtle displeasure.
"I haven't seen Melissa for a long time, and before I went to Z Country..."
She even locked Melissa in the changing room.
Stefan just sighed softly without saying anything, but he was thinking about scheduling their wedding as soon as possible and taking Martha home.
This time, there could be no more mishaps.
After Stefan left, the HR manager knocked on Martha's office door with an employee by his side.
"Come in."
Martha said while looking at urgent files that had been piling up for days on end.
It wasn't until the person stood in front of her desk that she looked up.
"Mr. Smith, what can I do for you?"
Mr. Smith smiled broadly and pushed the young girl behind him towards her, saying, "Ms. Doyle, this is Nana who previously interned at our company's administrative department and has just become a full-time employee. She is quite capable so let her serve as your new assistant if you agree?"
Martha remained silent for quite some time after hearing this from Mr. Smith.
Just when Mr. Smith thought she was dissatisfied and would ask for someone else instead of Nana; she spoke softly,
"Nana can stay."
Mr. Smith breathed a sigh of relief. After reminding Nana, he left with a wry smile on his face.
"Ms. Doyle, is there anything I can do? Thank you for your trust; I will definitely work hard!"
Nana had youthful vigor which made Martha very satisfied.
"Just help me sort these out," said Martha handing over a stack of documents to Nana who immediately went over to work at the assistant desk.
Suddenly remembering something, she turned around to look at Martha, asking, "Ms. Doyle, actually I don't understand why you need a new assistant? Is Jane not coming back?"
Upon hearing this question from Nana, Martha's eyes darkened slightly without answering it directly.
Nana realized that perhaps it wasn't appropriate to ask such a question, then she buttoned her lip and got back down to work.
Martha met Melissa at their usual coffee shop where they used to go together.
"Melissa! Over here!"
Melissa ran over excitedly. When she saw Martha, she gave the latter a big hug
"You're finally back!"
"Yeah, I'm back."
Suddenly, Melissa seemed to realize that something was wrong and quickly let go of her, her expression becoming serious.
"Do you still consider me a friend? You didn't tell me anything and locked me in the dressing room. Martha, you went too far!"
At this moment, Melissa was like an angry cat with its fur standing on end. Although Martha knew Melissa wasn't really angry, she still tried to soothe her softly, "I'm sorry... but it all happened so suddenly..."
"I'm just glad you're back. I was afraid you wouldn't come back." As she spoke, Melissa's eyes became red.
"I thought the same thing at the time."
Melissa pulled her down to sit and called over a server.
"Two lattes."
Martha was slightly stunned but didn't say anything.
Melissa completely ignored any changes in Martha's demeanor as she leaned on her hand and gossiped with excitement.
"Martha, tell me everything! Where have you been these past few months? What have you experienced?"
As expected, gossiping was Melissa's true nature.
"This is a long story," replied Martha.
