The CEO Gets What He Wants novel Chapter 591

Chapter 591 All The Affection

Cayden intentionally asked Avery to wait for him at the CEO's office after work so they could leave together once he was ready.

As such, Avery waited next to the CEO's exclusive elevator to get to his office.

Evangeline, Nina, Cecelia, and the rest of their colleagues took the common elevator.

Evangeline observed Avery as she pressed the button that took her to the restricted floors and went into the elevator alone.

The words “CEO exclusive” in gold on the topmost floor of the elevator were so dazzling and stood out starkly.

Although Block A of the commercial building was huge and equipped with high-speed elevators on every level operating concurrently, it was still slightly crowded due to a large number of employees. Evangeline couldn't help admiring Avery for being the only one who could use the CEO's exclusive elevator freely.

She tugged on Nina's sleeve and whispered, “Nina, I saw Avery using the CEO's exclusive elevator. I wonder what is her relationship with our CEO?”

She was merely seeking confirmation for what she already knew.

“Avery is—” Nina was about to speak when she was cut-off by Cecelia.

Despite looking friendly, Cecelia had a calculating look as she assessed Evangeline. “Everyone in the company knows that Avery is the CEO's wife. That is why she has the right to use the CEO's exclusive elevator. She and our CEO are in a very healthy relationship where they already have three children.”

“I see. That explains it.” Evangeline pretended to be surprised upon hearing such information for the first time to conceal her disappointment.

Cecelia cast Evangeline another glance at the odd look on her face, who smiled back awkwardly and retreated into a corner to minimize her presence.

Evangeline sensed how sharp Cecelia's eyes were. It was as if she were a detector capable of divulging her secrets.

Just then, the elevator had reached their floor.

Evangeline hurriedly urged her two colleagues on, “Let's go. The elevator's here.”

She politely gave way to the pregnant Cecelia and Nina before getting on herself.

Nina had a pretty positive impression of her new colleague as she had a sweet smile and was polite and graceful.

However, Cecelia looked down and avoided her stare. Based on her experiences interacting with people of various personalities, Cecelia had a sixth sense that Evangeline's quietness belied a scheming interior.

Perhaps she might have been overthinking.

By the time Cayden was done with his work in his office, he caught sight of Avery's slender figure that had already fallen asleep on the couch.

Her long hair concealed half of her face, and her curled lashes twitched sporadically during her slumber, entrancing him.

Cayden stood up from his office chair and went over to carry Avery from the couch. His face was ridden with guilt and heartache.

He barely spent time with Avery as he was too busy with work. Since he knew that women tended to become more sensitive during pregnancy, he let her accompany him to work as he worried her imagination would run wild if she were left alone at home.

Doubt had taken root within him about whether it was the right decision after all.

The sky was completely dark by the time Avery awakened.

She was greeted by the side of a familiar bedroom illuminated by the cozy light of a floor lamp.

She rubbed her mildly sore temples and wondered how she'd managed to get home from her office.

The innocent laughter of children playing sounded vaguely from the direction of the living room.

Avery made her way downstairs.
