Three Years Forgotten, Why Go Crazy When I Say Goodbye? novel Chapter 106

When Silas reached the twenty-fifth floor, he only caught a fleeting glimpse of Willow's back as she was whisked away by the HR directors for her executive orientation.

Arthur had been right. She had lost weight, and her entire silhouette and aura had shifted. But Silas didn't think it made her more beautiful—in his eyes, she had always been striking. She was still just her.

What twisted his gut was the suffering that must have caused it. To drop that much weight in less than a month spoke volumes about the hell she had been enduring.

What was it Arthur had said? Girls just liked to look pretty?

Silas couldn't fathom that logic. Was this a generational gap? He was, after all, ten years older than her.

Unlike her husband, who was her age. Maybe he understood her. They probably had plenty of shared interests. In fact, she likely went through all this effort just to please him. Silas had known for a long time that she had harbored a massive crush on Julian for years before finally marrying him.

And honestly, if it hadn't been for that one catastrophic accident, their paths would have never crossed.

A hard knot formed in Silas's jaw as he turned on his heel, leaving the twenty-fifth floor and returning to his office.

When Willow finally returned from her orientation, she caught the tail end of several female employees whispering excitedly about how gorgeous their big boss was. They were swooning over his build and his aura, claiming he put A-list celebrities to shame, though they all agreed he was terrifyingly cold and unapproachable.

Willow was confused. When Arthur was down here earlier, no one had batted an eye. Why were they losing their minds now that he was gone? Was this the classic corporate dynamic—respectful to their faces, obsessing behind their backs?

And the description of him being 'cold and unapproachable' was something she had heard before, but Arthur didn't strike her that way at all. Did he have some hidden, ruthless persona?
