I Become A CEO After Divorce novel Chapter 819

Chapter 819: Yanis, Are You Feeling Proud Right Now?

As Yanis entered the room, she was about to say something when she was startled by the sudden sound of the door closing behind her.

"Take a seat wherever you like. Let me pour you a glass of water," the woman said, turning around and heading towards the kitchen.

Yanis stood awkwardly on the side for a moment before finally walking towards the middle of the living room.

Due to the increasing number of people ordering customized jewelry from this area, Yanis often visited clients in person to take measurements or discuss details. Sometimes, she would encounter clients with special circumstances, such as those with autism or psychological barriers.

This client had placed an order online and messaged her about her situation, mentioning that she couldn't go out in the sun or wind and had been staying at home all the time.

Yanis didn't refuse and accepted the request.

But why would she wear a mask and hat even when she couldn't see the sun or feel the wind at home?

Just as Yanis was lost in thought, the woman placed the glass of water in front of her. "Have some water first."

Yanis snapped out of her reverie and met the woman's gaze.

That glance sparked a sense of familiarity in Yanis once again.

"What's wrong?" the woman asked, breaking the silence.

Yanis shook her head. "Nothing."

The woman sat down across from Yanis. "Do you think I'm a bit abnormal?"

After sitting down, the woman looked at Yanis and asked.

Just as Yanis was about to speak, the woman chuckled and said, "I also think I'm quite abnormal. But I've gotten used to not showing my true self to people. Even if I do something, no one will ever know."

At first, these words didn't seem significant, but upon closer reflection, Yanis found them somewhat peculiar.

However, Yanis didn't think too much about it and handed over the catalog she had brought. "Take a look and see if there's anything you like. The ones below are actual samples."

The woman reached out to take the catalog from Yanis but casually set it aside without flipping through the pages.

When Yanis saw this, she couldn't help but look at the woman in confusion. "What's wrong?"

"I want to have a chat with Miss Thompson," the woman adjusted her sitting posture and said. "Is Miss Thompson married?"

Yanis was slightly taken aback.

"I just wanted someone to talk to. I've been alone here for a long time without any contact with people. But I feel a connection with Miss Thompson," the woman said softly.

Given the circumstances, it would seem impolite for Yanis to refuse. So she answered the question truthfully, "Yes, I'm married."

"Your husband must treat you well, right?" the woman nodded.

Yanis nodded. "He's pretty good."

"I used to have someone I liked very much. I liked him so much that I thought I would marry him and have children with him. But then he fell in love with someone else. He even pretended to be with me to protect the person he liked, making me believe that he loved me," the woman said with a laugh. "Actually, I had my own motives as well. If he truly liked me, I wouldn't have treated him that way. I threatened him before, hoping he would be more sincere with me. But later, I realized that everything he did was for someone else, for her, for his sister. That's why he acted with me."

Yanis didn't dare to interrupt, but the more she listened, the more she felt a sense of déjà vu from the woman's words.

It was as if she had experienced something similar, and she was the person protected by the man the woman was referring to.

"Yanis, are you feeling proud right now?" Suddenly, the woman's voice turned icy, carrying a bone-chilling coldness.

As Yanis heard those words, she snapped back to her senses.

Who was the person in front of her? It was only now that Yanis recognized her.
