Judith said, "Although only the back view of Mr. Zane and the woman can be seen in the picture without their faces captured, Mr. Zane's car plate number can be seen very clearly. So, the person who posted it confidently said the couple in the picture was Mr. Zane and his wife. There's a trending hashtag online now, 'hashtag the wife of the CEO of the Zane Corporation whom he protected so well finally appears'. I've sent you the picture on WhatsApp. Take a look at it."Abigail then opened her WhatsApp to see the picture. She thought, 'The tall man who wore a white shirt and black pants in this picture is indeed Xander. But the woman in the picture is me.'This was the scene from when we got into the car together at Lakeside not long ago. How can this possibly be Xander's wife?!'If this were me wearing my usual work outfit getting into the car with him, people who knew or didn't know us surely wouldn't think we were a couple. But today, I changed my outfit and let my hair down. That
Abigail thought, 'Xander is just my superior. He's doing me a favor if he's willing to protect me. And if he isn't, that's just his job.' After she thought it over, she quickly composed herself and said, "Okay."Melody loved to surf the internet. She saw the news too. She immediately rushed to Abigail after she got out of the car. "Caterpie, big news. Someone took a picture of you and Mr. Zane and even mistook you for Mr. Zane's wife."Abigail smiled as she said, "We already know about this."Melody responded, "The views on this news increased particularly fast. It'll definitely go viral in a short time. If this continues, you might be mistaken as the wife of the CEO of the Zane Corporation by many people. Are you going to ask your company's public relations department to deal with it?"Malcolm, who was standing at the side, interrupted, "Have you all ever seen the media capture Xander's photo? No one can take pictures of him if he doesn't want to be photographed. Even if someone d

The topics related to the CEO of the Zane Corporation and his wife accounted for at least half of them.The Zane Corporation, the CEO of the Zane Corporation, and Xander Zane... These three phrases were absolutely the keywords to drive significant engagement.Just by simply posting a post with the three phrases, the number of views would definitely not be low. Moreover, the topic today was about the wife of Xander, the CEO of the Zane Corporation, who appeared in a residential area. This was the first time the CEO of the Zane Corporation, who had always been mysterious, was in the public eye. People on the internet immediately got extremely excited.When the picture first got posted online, some people on the internet doubted the authenticity of the picture. After all, no one had taken any pictures o
After that, most of the messages the online user "Netting All the Handsome Men in the World" received were questioning the authenticity of her comment.Many users online replied to her comment to question her: [You've seen Mr. Zane? Tell us who you are. Let us analyze whether it's actually possible for you to meet him.]"Netting All the Handsome Men in the World" desperately replied: [I'm just an ordinary human being. But my friend knows Mr. Zane. We're eating with him right now. And the CEO's wife who was in the picture is eating with us too.]After this text was sent, she received even more doubts.Some were amused by her and played along with her: [I'm going karaoke with Mr. Zane and his wife tonight. Anyone who's interested can join us.]Some people asked her to immediately take a photo and post it online. And if she did that, she would then be able to prove what she said was true."Netting All the Handsome Men in the World" commented: [Everyone knows Mr. Zane doesn't like to
"Netting All the Handsome Men in the World" was the most enthusiastic user: [What did he say?]"Heartless" answered: [He apologized to me and said he was going to have lunch with his wife. He used only one sentence to tell me that he was married. He also made me abandon the idea of continuing to try to win him over with that same sentence.]The online users eagerly asked: [What happened after that?]"Heartless" replied: [I was unconvinced. So, I had someone secretly follow him. I wanted to see who his wife was. But in the afternoon, he didn't even meet any woman other than his assistant. I thought he was just using marriage as an excuse to reject me. So, I went to find his assistant. His assistant directly told me that Mr. Zane was married and that he loved his wife very much. He's wealthy, handsome, and loyal to his wife. Good men like him are almost extinct, aren't they?]All the online users were extremely jealous.One of them commented: [Why can't such good things happen to us
An online user named "BoomMind Pro" chimed in: [It's not your imagination. The first thing I noticed in this photo too was exactly that.] She continued her analysis: [Have you noticed Mr. Zane's posture in the photo? It's protective, sheltering the woman before him. In our field of psychology, this posture suggests two possibilities: one, he's protecting the person he wants to shield from harm; two, it's a sign of possessiveness, not allowing other males to approach his woman.]Both interpretations struck a chord with the fangirls online, and the internet erupted once again.Some squealed: [Oh my God! Mr. Zane is head over heels for his wife!]Others were utterly smitten: [What do I do? I'm drowning in Mr. Zane's affection for his wife. Nothing's more compelling than a real couple.]Heartless: [Had I met Xander first, I might've been the woman basking in his tenderness today. Alas, the world doesn't deal in 'ifs'. All I can do is watch him share tender moments with another woman.]
"I'm not," Xander said."Alright, alright, you're not. How's your schedule? Not too packed, right? Let's all get together and unwind a bit," Lucas offered.Xander nodded. "Sounds good."After dinner, as Abigail and Melody were about to ride home with Felix, Xander held her back. "I'll drive you home. There's something I need to discuss with you."Something felt off about Xander tonight, like a shadow that would not leave her side. "Mr. Zane, if you have something to say, you can say it here. There's no need to go out of your way to drive me home," Abigail reasoned, not wanting to inconvenience him as their homes were in opposite directions from their current location."Get in my car," Xander instructed, pulling the car door open with an assertive and almost domineering air.Sensing that Xander wanted to continue his charade to protect the identity of his mysterious wife, Abigail decided to play along. The drive was silent, neither of them knowing what to say until they arrived at
Each word in the lengthy message was a testament to Abigail's current worry and unease, and it brought Xander to a stark realization: his arrangement for tonight had been a complete misstep. His original intention was to use that photograph to announce to the world his marital status, to pave the way for revealing Abigail's identity in the future, and perhaps even to flush out potential threats lurking in the shadows. His intentions were good, yet he had utterly disregarded the feelings of the involved party. Regardless of how talented Abigail was at her job, she was, after all, only a young woman in her early twenties. The idea of her fear when she thought her boss was pushing her into the front lines of public opinion, taking hits for someone else, was something Xander could not even bear to contemplate.With that, he swiftly texted her under the guise of Nathan: [Abigail, you're my wife. I trust you entirely. Never doubted you for a second today, and I hope you trust me too. Xander
