The CEO’s Regret My Ex-Wife is a Tech Goddess novel Chapter 144

......

Late into the night.

Alaina was at her desk, working on a report.

She saw a message from Logan.

[Ethan is fine. Doing great, actually. Evil really does live forever, huh.]

She stopped typing. [If you see him, tell him I hope he takes good care of his health.]

Logan sent a terrified emoji. [Don't tell me you still have feelings for him...]

Alaina's expression remained neutral. [If this were in the past, I'd say that a clean break means cutting them off completely, pretending you have amnesia and treating them like a total stranger. But now, I have a new perspective.]

Logan replied, [I hear you. Sounds like there's a story there.]

[Keeping a scar covered all the time doesn't help it heal. You have to let it breathe. If it hurts, cry it out, apply some ointment, and it'll heal much better.]

Logan sent a string of emojis. [Makes sense.]

Alaina rested her chin on her hand and smiled.

Just then, the robotic assistant chimed at her door.

She went over and opened it.

On the robot's tray was a cup of tea, wafting with the rich scent of brown sugar.

She paused for a moment before picking up the cup.

The robot turned around and took the elevator back down.

Alaina held the cup and took a sip. The sweetness slid down her throat and warmed her heart. She ran her fingertips along the glass, her expression softening.

But realizing this was all built on a lie still made her feel a bit guilty.

She went back, wrote a sticky note thanking him for the tea, and stuck it on the door of the room across the hall.

......

The next day.

She went straight to Apex in the morning to continue her data optimization work.

Dressed in a cleanroom suit, she was operating the machinery when she saw someone approaching from a distance.

Even though Lily was heavily covered by the same suit, Alaina recognized her instantly.

She had heard the CEO of Apex mention that Dr. Summers was rather sluggish when it came to optimizing the data.
