Unmasked My CEO Ex-Husband’s Regret novel Chapter 160

After finding a spot and parking the car, Julian unbuckled his seatbelt and got out without saying a word.

Elara still looked angry. She didn't speak to him either, silently grabbing her bag, stepping out, and following him into the Department of Business Oversight.

They had just arrived as office hours began, so the lobby was quite empty. The staff had just gotten to their stations and were still organizing things, and some desks were even vacant.

The two headed straight for an occupied window, filled out the forms, and submitted the paperwork.

The clerk assisting them was a young woman. As she processed the forms, she kept glancing up at Elara.

Elara noticed. Looking up, she smiled at the clerk the next time their eyes met.

Caught red-handed, the clerk felt embarrassed. She returned a polite smile and didn't dare to look again, though the suspicion in her heart didn't fade.

The woman standing before her had a uniquely striking aura. Even with light makeup and a mask covering her face, she was breathtakingly beautiful. Her demeanor and features—especially those bright, dewy, gentle eyes that seemed capable of speaking—made her instantly recognizable.

If she remembered correctly, this lady had been here yesterday morning as well.

Back then, hadn't she come to report a company for a fraudulent registry filing?

But seeing how unfazed the woman was by being recognized, even returning her gaze openly, the clerk wondered if she might have just been mistaken.

The clerk didn't dwell on it any further, continuing to process the Corporate Registry Filing for Elara and Julian.

Relieved to no longer be stared at, Elara breathed a silent sigh.

When she had come yesterday, she deliberately wore a mask, and the report had been filed anonymously, so she wasn't afraid of being exposed.

Still, being constantly stared at made her feel somewhat uneasy.
