“If you don’t have anything else for me, Mr. Sanders, I’ll head back to Veridian Future,” Kaia said. She set her coffee cup down, stood up, and walked out the door.

Finnian stared at the still-steaming cup of coffee she had left behind, lost in thought for a moment. Then, he walked over, picked up the cup, took a sip, and returned to his desk.

She leaned against the balcony railing in the hallway, chatting with Miles about work while admiring the hotel’s modern architecture.

Suddenly, a group of people approached from down the hall.

Finnian had chosen this hotel to host a dinner with several of the Sanders Conglomerate’s overseas executives. Noelle was with them, and the group was currently heading to the restaurant on the

ked like Kaia.

But she didn’t look anything like the Kaia he was used to.

“Is that Kaia?” Noelle noticed her at the same moment. She sounded completely shocked. “Is she here for an event? She never dresses like this.”

Noelle’s confirmation cemented what Finnian was already thinking-that was his wife, Kaia.

It’s a running joke that men wouldn’t recognize their own wives if they dressed up. That was exactly how Finnian felt right now.

She stood bathed in the warm glow of the lights, the grand crystal chandeliers above making her look like a goddess surrounded by stars.

Finnian, aren’t you going to go say hi?” Noelle prompted softly, noticing that Finnian’s eyes were glued to Kaia.

As Finnian continued to stare, Noelle felt an invisible hand squeeze her heart.

She instinctively took a half-step back, retreating into the shadows of the corridor.

Seeing Kaia like this hit Noelle with a sudden, crushing sense of defeat. Dressed up and perfectly styled, Kaia was breathtakingly beautiful.

Kaia finished her call, lowered her phone, and turned around to head back to the party. That was when she spotted Finnian standing just a few yards away.

A second later, she noticed Noelle lingering in the shadows behind him.

For a brief, charged moment, the three of them locked eyes. Kaia’s expression went entirely blank. She turned away, gathered her skirt, and calmly walked back into the banquet hall.

A heavy silence descended on the hallway.

A few of the executive had also recognized the stunning woman as Mrs. Sanders.

She hated the feeling of being outshined.

Inside, Kaia was sitting at a small table chatting with some wealthy socialites she knew from previous events. Brynlee was happily playing with a few child models around her age. The atmosphere was warm and relaxed.
