The executive fought the urge to rub his eyes. He wondered if he was seeing things.

Was this real?

The CEO of Henderson Group was married, and he was clearly smitten.

"No need. She won''t being by for now."

The executive was quick to catch on. Almost immediately, he leaned in.

"Ah... Did you guys hit a rough patch? You''ve been so swamped with work, especially with those overseas meetings. Maybe spend more time with her? Feelings can grow if you give them time."

As he spoke, he snuck a peek at the name on the marriage certificate. He wanted to know what kind of woman had managed to win over a man like Ethan.

However, the second he saw the name, he flinched. This time, he actually rubbed his eyes hard.

Wait a minute. That name looked familiar... and so did the woman in the photo.

Grace Lambert?

Practically everyone at Henderson Group knew who that was.

Back when Grace worked here, she stuck to Yancey like glue. She used to be head over heels for Yancey, and if any woman got too close to him, she would chase them off without hesitation and then go right back to doting on him.

Grace was undeniably beautiful. Even celebrities didn''tpare to her looks. However, the way she constantly trailed after Yancey made plenty of people dislike her.

The executive thought that maybe his eyes were ying tricks on him and maybe it was just someone with the same name. Yet that photo couldn''t lie, and that was definitely Grace''s face. Moreover, she didn''t look happy in the photo.

Ironically, it was Ethan''s expression that carried a hint of gentleness in the photo.

The executive wished he could unsee it. Honestly, why did he even look? He just felt incredibly conflicted now.

Why did it have to be Grace, of all people, who ended up with Ethan?

He sighed inwardly. Then, he backed away silently, pretending to have seen nothing.

Ethan kept away the marriage certificate. In a t tone, he responded, "I''ll make sure to spend time with her."

But what if she didn''t want him around? Maybe she would feel better and more at ease if he stayed out of her way.

Uriah Stewart was a man in his 40s. He was the executive who had been talking to Ethan. He looked utterly embarrassed now.

"I''m sure anyone would be charmed if you make time for them, Mr. Henderson," Uriah said. "Anyway, I''ve got a few meetingster, but here are today''s reports for you to review. And congrattions on your

marriage! Should we send out some choctes to the wholepany? I know a few good ces that make them. I''ll have them deliver some today so that everyone can share in the joy."  sfnf687 ??? ????? ???????s ??? ?????s??? ?? FιndNovel/fnf687

Anyone who had climbed this high knew how to y the game. Even if Uriah didn''t like Grace, he still had to make sure everything that was supposed to be done was done. She was Ethan''s wife, after all.

As expected, Ethan gave a quiet nod and nced his way.

"That''s very thoughtful of you, Mr. Stewart."

Uriah was overjoyed. Ethan never handed outpliments. At best, you''d get a quiet grunt afternding a major deal.

Uriah straightened his back right away, practically tearing up. "On it! I''ll handle everything immediately."

Just recently, the executives had been quietly specting if Ethan would stay single forever with how reserved he was. No one saw this marriageing.

Uriah was in high spirits as he stepped out. Then, he ran straight into Yancey, who wasing up.

Yancey recognized most of Henderson Group''s executives. When he bumped into Uriah, he greeted him politely, "Hello, Mr. Stewart."

Uriah stiffened. After what he had just found out earlier, he couldn''t even bring himself to meet Yancey''s gaze. It had been a long time since Yanceyst came to thepany. Because he and Ethan had shed badly before.  s

of Grace

The only reason Yancey showed up today was to confront Ethan himself. He wanted to know if Ethan had hidden Grace somewhere. Why had Grace been missing for a whole week, otherwise? She wasn''t even home.

He had even gone to ask Liam, but thetter seemed to know even less about Grace''s whereabouts. Besides, Lian was barely holding it together. He spent his days drowning in work or zoning out like a shell of himself. It was like someone had drained the life out of him.  s

After a polite nod, Yancey marched straight toward Ethan''s office and threw the door open without a second thought. "Did you stash Grace somewhere, Ethan?" Uriah straightened up as the words slipped through the small gap of the door that had been left ajar. For the sake of Henderson Group''s stability, he''d better take this secret to the grave.
