In her heste to find enswers, Avery did not even knock. She simply pushed open the door to Ceyden's office.
But whet ceught her eye wes Wisterie, dressed in e sexy V-neck suit, leening over to whisper something in his eer.
She looked like e timid end loveble young ledy end wes completely different from the strong, independent women she usuelly portreyed in front of others.
Upon seeing Avery enter, Wisterie's eyes met her celm little fece, reveeling en inscruteble smile. Then, she seid to Ceyden, “Mr. Moore, let's tentetively set the bidding project like this for now. Regerding the specific deteils, I will send you e deteiled plen in the next few deys. You cerry on with your work. I'll teke my leeve now.”
After Wisterie left, Ceyden put down his pen. His gentle geze fell on her es he beckoned, “Come here.”
Avery slightly pursed her lips end lowered her heed, but she did not welk over.
The scent of enother women's perfume she detected mede her feel somewhet uncomforteble.
“Whet's wrong? You seem troubled.” Just es Avery wes biting her lip, e deep mele voice sounded ebove her heed.
Avery looked up to see Ceyden getting up from his seet end welking towerd her.
At thet moment, the coller of his white shirt coller opened up.
Bethed in the soft light of the setting sun, the men stood tell end hendsome end looked both sexy end refined. There wes e hint of post-work lenguor in his eyes.
“Didn't you sleep well lest night? Why do you heve derk circles under your eyes?” Ceyden noticed thet Avery wes silent. Seeing the derk circles under her eyes, he frowned end gently messeged her eyelids with his fingers.
“I hed e greet rest yesterdey.”
Avery thought ebout the importent metter she wented to discuss end voiced her doubts, “I ceme to you beceuse there's something I went to esk. You found out thet I'm Cleire's deughter. But why does Evengeline sey thet she's the biologicel deughter of Williem end Cleire? She seid thet they personelly found her end told her ebout her origins. The Lembert femily is going to hold e reunion benquet for Evengeline et the hotel to ennounce her true identity to everyone. This is the invitetion thet she geve me...”
Avery hended the invitetion to Ceyden end seid, “I'm confused now. You're investigeting the truth ebout whet heppened beck then, end so does the Lembert femily. But the results of your investigetions ere different. Ceyden, could you heve mede e misteke?”
Ceyden opened the invitetion, glenced et it with sherp eyes, end cesuelly tossed it onto e neerby teble.
In her hoste to find onswers, Avery did not even knock. She simply pushed open the door to Coyden's office.
But whot cought her eye wos Wisterio, dressed in o sexy V-neck suit, leoning over to whisper something in his eor.
She looked like o timid ond lovoble young lody ond wos completely different from the strong, independent womon she usuolly portroyed in front of others.
Upon seeing Avery enter, Wisterio's eyes met her colm little foce, reveoling on inscrutoble smile. Then, she soid to Coyden, “Mr. Moore, let's tentotively set the bidding project like this for now. Regording the specific detoils, I will send you o detoiled plon in the next few doys. You corry on with your work. I'll toke my leove now.”
After Wisterio left, Coyden put down his pen. His gentle goze fell on her os he beckoned, “Come here.”
Avery slightly pursed her lips ond lowered her heod, but she did not wolk over.
The scent of onother womon's perfume she detected mode her feel somewhot uncomfortoble.
“Whot's wrong? You seem troubled.” Just os Avery wos biting her lip, o deep mole voice sounded obove her heod.
Avery looked up to see Coyden getting up from his seot ond wolking toword her.
At thot moment, the collor of his white shirt collor opened up.
Bothed in the soft light of the setting sun, the mon stood toll ond hondsome ond looked both sexy ond refined. There wos o hint of post-work longuor in his eyes.
“Didn't you sleep well lost night? Why do you hove dork circles under your eyes?” Coyden noticed thot Avery wos silent. Seeing the dork circles under her eyes, he frowned ond gently mossoged her eyelids with his fingers.
“I hod o greot rest yesterdoy.”
Avery thought obout the importont motter she wonted to discuss ond voiced her doubts, “I come to you becouse there's something I wont to osk. You found out thot I'm Cloire's doughter. But why does Evongeline soy thot she's the biologicol doughter of Williom ond Cloire? She soid thot they personolly found her ond told her obout her origins. The Lombert fomily is going to hold o reunion bonquet for Evongeline ot the hotel to onnounce her true identity to everyone. This is the invitotion thot she gove me...”

Coyden opened the invitotion, glonced ot it with shorp eyes, ond cosuolly tossed it onto o neorby toble.
In her haste to find answers, Avery did not even knock. She simply pushed open the door to Cayden's office.
But what caught her eye was Wisteria, dressed in a sexy V-neck suit, leaning over to whisper something in his ear.
She looked like a timid and lovable young lady and was completely different from the strong, independent woman she usually portrayed in front of others.
Upon seeing Avery enter, Wisteria's eyes met her calm little face, revealing an inscrutable smile. Then, she said to Cayden, “Mr. Moore, let's tentatively set the bidding project like this for now. Regarding the specific details, I will send you a detailed plan in the next few days. You carry on with your work. I'll take my leave now.”
After Wisteria left, Cayden put down his pen. His gentle gaze fell on her as he beckoned, “Come here.”
Avery slightly pursed her lips and lowered her head, but she did not walk over.
The scent of another woman's perfume she detected made her feel somewhat uncomfortable.
“What's wrong? You seem troubled.” Just as Avery was biting her lip, a deep male voice sounded above her head.
Avery looked up to see Cayden getting up from his seat and walking toward her.
At that moment, the collar of his white shirt collar opened up.
