Chapter 6 It Was You

"Miss, this is the first time that Mr. Richards has picked out an office for an employee." Perrie spoke in a soft and alluring voice, then politely gestured for her to leave. "Mr. Richards invited you to go to his office and discuss a few business matters as well as your contract."

Perrie relayed the real reason why she was here, then politely left the office.

My contract? Jenna Murphy's face was cold as ice. She had no intention of signing onto the Richards Group. She only planned to stay here for three months. Once she got what she wanted, it might not even take three months for her to leave A city and the Richards Group forever, and to settle down in the United States with her mother.

At the thought of settling down in the U.S., Jenna suddenly felt a strange pang of pain in her heart. She gently knitted her delicate wispy eyebrows together and let out a long and cool sigh. Then she calmed down and walked to Hansen Richards's office.

His office was on the right of the 88th floor, occupying half of the area.

When Jenna appeared again in front of the secretary at the front desk, the secretary's eyes were full of amazement and confusion.

The woman in front of her was beautiful and refined, and her elegance was revealed through her casually graceful movements. Although she was a little aloof, unlike how hot and sexy Aria McAdams was, President Richards seemed to be more into ice queens like her, judging by the women who often accompanied him in recent years.

She quickly picked up the phone.

Jenna walked over calmly.

The stately and majestic dark crimson office door was slightly ajar.

Jenna took a deep breath and raised her small hand.

"Please come in." A deep and attractive baritone voice spoke from the inside.

Completely different from the last time, a pleasant and faint aroma greeted her as soon as she pushed open the door. It was the smell of genuine freshly-picked flowers. There were several bunches of brightly-colored flowers on the coffee table in the corner, they were gorgeous and wonderfully fragrant.

Hansen was sitting in front of his desk and focused on the documents in his hands. His handsome and luxuriant black hair was slicked back, and his sharp facial features were absolutely impeccable. He looked aristocratic and regal.

A man like him was like a dazzling star in the sky. He would always become the center of attention no matter where and how he showed up.

He was carefully examining the documents. His dark and dashing eyebrows were furrowed slightly from time to time, and his thin red lips were compressed into a good-looking line. Jenna had never seen him when he was working. Hansen was no doubt even more mature and attractive when he was like this.

Jenna was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect her heart to still flutter when she saw him. D*mn it, how could she still feel this way? They had nothing to do with each other now.

She sighed a little and shook her head. Then she entered with a light-footed walk and an indifferent expression.

Hansen, who was buried in the documents, raised his handsome face just in time. He was a long-time professional who knew to remain alert.

"You? Why are you here?" His eyes instantly widened, and his beautiful thin lips parted out of indescribable shock.

The silvery-white business suit made Jenna's pretty face look a little pale, but it also made her look a bit more delicately alluring.

"You have a good memory, President Richards. You invited me here, yet you are asking who I am. Looks like I am not welcome here. I'll take my leave." There was a sarcastic glint in Jenna's smiling eyes as she shrugged her shoulders and made a resigned face, then turned to leave.

"Stop." Hansen came to his senses and growled, "You're the designer?"

"What's wrong? Why can't I be?" Jenna stopped and dramatically turned around. She looked into Hansen's astonished eyes and asked in a feisty tone.

Hansen stood up in shock!

How could this be possible? The person he wanted to hire was actually her!

Turns out it was her. No wonder she was from A city! Why didn't he think of her at all? This was all too surprising! Hansen struggled to believe his own eyes.

Jenna coldly watched his surprised expression and didn't say a word. She had fantasized about this day countless times, she had dreamed that he would be surprised and impressed by a car that she designed. But now that the day was finally here, she didn't feel happy at all. She didn't even want to see him in front of her!

Even a man as experienced and knowledgeable as Hansen was shocked beyond disbelief.

She was no longer the woman who lowered her head in front of him. She was no longer the woman who lived and crouched under his every breath. She was now a woman with her own pride. Like right now, she was a world-class female designer who was headhunted and offered a huge pay to work with them!

It felt like a dream, but it was real.

Jenna had a professional smile on her face. She lowered her eyes and looked calm.

Hansen stood three steps away from her. He was wearing an impeccable tailor-made suit on his statuesque body, which towered imposingly above her. He looked down at her with his 6 foot 2 stature and the regal air of a king, but he couldn't conceal the disbelief inside him.

She had such a frail and petite body and a small little head, yet she could design a high-end car that would make countless men go crazy? Who was this woman? Her face was tiny, but her bright eyes shined like glittering stars that were sparkling with wisdom.

He took a step back. A strange feeling surrounded his heart as he stared at her.

She stood there indifferently, but coldness and hostility subtly radiated from her.

She was by his side as his wife for so many years, yet he practically ignored her. He felt like he was meeting her for the first time today. What did he miss out?

In an attempt to hide the panic in his heart, his tall and statuesque figure walked to the wine cabinet and took out an upside-down goblet. The scarlet liquid slowly poured down from the bottle. He elegantly picked up the wine glass and gently swayed it, before he raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.

By the time he looked up again, there was already an enchanting smile on his face.

He released the hovering anxiety in his heart, along with lingering yet hidden feelings at the bottom of it.

Turns out she was doing good, not as terrible as he had imagined!

She was back and working under him now. Fantastic. His lips curled slightly as he sneered on the inside, let's see if she's really that impressive!

"The Richards Group only hires outstanding talents. It doesn't matter who that person is." Hansen lightly shook his index finger. There was an imperceptible smile on his lips. He acted just like a boss who was speaking to his subordinate. "The most important thing is outstanding work from her in the future. You can rest assured that I will separate my professional life from my private life, and you are no exception. I judge my employees according to their performance."

Hansen spoke in time as if to dispel Jenna's concerns, saving both of them a lot of trouble.

Jenna loosened her grip from the hem of her clothes. She forced a smile on her face, but there was a trace of leftover fear in her heart. How could she achieve her goal if he decided to let her go just now?

"Please sit down! Let's talk about the contract." Hansen gracefully sat down on the sofa and pointed to the seat next to him.

Jenna glanced at the seat beside him with her pretty eyes, hesitated for a moment, then sat down on the sofa opposite of him.

She was indifferent, distant, but polite.

Hansen's eyes darkened. She kept a distance from him as if he was a stranger to her, it was obvious that she had a grudge against him. A slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Mr. Richards, there's no need to sign a contract right now. As far as I know, the employees of your company all have a three-month internship period beforehand. I don't think I should be an exception." Jenna softly turned him down.

"Oh!" Hansen was very surprised. He slightly narrowed his long and handsome eyes and watched her with his deep gaze.

The woman wasn't wearing any makeup on her delicate little face, but she still looked incredibly pure and beautiful. Her frail shoulders trembled slightly, and her skin was as white as snow. The determined and cunning glint in her clear and glistening eyes was especially attractive to him, and made his heart skip a beat.

The wonderful images from that night suddenly flashed through his mind. His entire body stiffened, and he felt like there was a fire burning inside his body. His throat was dry, and he was strangely restless.

As a man who has been with countless women, he was secretly surprised that his ex-wife has aroused a primal desire inside of him from the moment she appeared. It almost made him lose control, and he couldn't feel this passionate emotion even when Aria threw herself onto him.

He sat squarely and straightened his face to cover his embarrassment.
