You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 462

Wrenna managed to know about Damian's flight back from his secretary, Johannes. Thus, she was well prepared to fetch him from the airport. She had even applied for a leave of absence with a valid reason.

All this while, Wrenna used to skip classes right away without getting permission from her tutor. Therefore, when she made an application formally, her tutor thought that something was going on and granted her permission right away.

On the day itself, Wrenna was already at the airport half an hour before Damian's flight touched down. She took a seat in one of the cafes there, racking her brain on how she could give him a surprise.

Should I jump onto him and embrace him or welcome him with a gentle smile? Is it better if I appear to be more lively or try to be more demure and dignified at the same time?

After contemplating for quite a while, Wrenna finally made up her mind to react spontaneously.

Ah! If Damian is with his staff later, I will choose to behave like a dignified Mrs. Quigley. On the other hand, if there isn't anyone by his side later, I will choose to be a lively Mrs. Quigley!

Outside the arrival hall, Wrenna was waiting for Damian with anticipation. She was in a short skirt that barely reached her knee, matching a short-sleeved knitted top. With her long hair tied up into a ponytail, her dainty face was glowing with enchanting youth. Passers-by were drawn to her by her eye-catching liveliness.

She fixed her gaze on the exit of the arrival hall, hoping that she would be able to catch Damian's eye the moment he stepped out.

The flight touched down on time. A while later, Damian headed off the plane with Johannes and Stella, making their way to the arrival hall. As they were advancing toward the exit point, Stella was alongside Damian.

Johannes felt a prickle of anxiousness, fearing that Wrenna would be displeased if she happened to see Stella by Damian's side.

At the same time, he was in a dilemma. If he chose to hint at Damian about Wrenna's presence, he would surely rain on her parade. After all, she was there specially to surprise him.

Sensing Johannes' hesitation, Damian glanced at him quizzically.

“Mr. Quigley, actually...” Johannes was about to say something, yet Stella cut him off. “Damian, I have a few questions about the collaboration this round...”

At the moment, Damian was treating Stella in a typical businesslike way. She was not only the representative from the other company but was also the person in charge of their collaborative project. Unavoidably, he had to liaise with her from time to time.

Wrenna was unaware of that as Damian did not mention anything to her. Not to mention, he foresaw that he might stir up trouble unintentionally if he brought up the topic all of a sudden.

Before Johannes could utter any words to make an explanation, Wrenna's eyes widened when Damian and Stella, who seemed to be engaged in a pleasant conversation, came into view.

In the meantime, Stella seemed to be telling Damian something, with jubilance written all over her face. Even though Damian was not smiling at all, he was listening attentively to her. Right that instant, the duo appeared to look like a matching couple.

At the sight of the duo, Wrenna recalled how she first saw Damian bring Stella home many years ago.

At that moment, Damian saw only Stella in his eyes. His eyes were gleaming with gentle sparkles as he gazed at Stella, soothing her awkwardness. They looked as though they were a match made in heaven.

Even now, they still look like a pair of stunning love birds!

The moment their figures came into sight, Wrenna moved swiftly and hid behind a man instinctively. She never shifted her gaze from them till their figures were out of sight.

Wrenna only dragged herself out of the airport after quite a while. She received a message from Johannes, asking why she did not go to the airport to fetch Damian.

Wrenna lied to him by replying: I'm sorry. I can't make it as I'm troubled by something in the last minutes. You can go back straight by yourselves then.

Johannes heaved a sigh of relief the moment he received her reply.

“Johannes, what's wrong? What did you want to say just now?” Damian sensed something amiss and asked with great concern.

“Mr. Quigley, I was thinking of asking whether you are heading to the office or going home right away,” Johannes replied courteously.

Damian pondered for a while and replied, “Head to the office now.”

At night, Wrenna prepared a scrumptious dinner for Damian.

When he reached home, Wrenna welcomed him with her usual bright smile. “Damian, welcome home.”

Damian smiled at her and hugged her lightly before striding upstairs.

Even though he did not eat much at dinner, he kept complimenting Wrenna for the delicious meal.

After dinner, Damian went to bed earlier than usual. Lying next to him in darkness, Wrenna gazed at him silently with a self-deprecating smile.

Anyway, regardless of anything, he is still lying beside me now!

The following morning, Wrenna prepared breakfast for Damian as usual. After sending him off to work, she headed straight for the campus. The moment she reached there, she gave Johannes a call right away. “Johannes, I need to ask you a few questions. But please don't let Damian find out about this. Is Stella currently working in his company?”

To be secured, Johannes only replied when he was back to his own office. “Mrs. Quigley, Ms. Lane is not our staff. She is actually CFO for H Corporation. At the moment, we are collaborating with her company in many areas. Thus, Ms. Lane will have to liaise with him frequently on work matters. Anyway, Mrs. Quigley, you don't have to overthink. All this while, Mr. Quigley only meets her formally for work purposes. Apart from that, they have never met alone. You should trust Mr. Quigley.”

Wrenna remained silent for quite a while before she replied, “Of course, I trust him. It seems Stella is doing well at the moment. Hmm, what does CFO stand for?”
