The CEO’s Regret My Ex-Wife is a Tech Goddess novel Chapter 55

Alaina accepted the folder but cautiously refrained from opening it immediately.

Before stepping out, he turned back to her. "The boss asked me to pass along a message. He said, 'Whether you're faking confidence or truly arrogant, feel free to prove yourself. I'll be watching.'"
