Attracted By My Ex-wife

Chapter 63 He Changed

Kevin was annoyed by Anne's chilly attitude. This woman was pulling further and further away from him.

Her figure gradually disappeared, but the people in the office were still talking about what just happened. Kevin's face was unhappy and his tone was serious.

"Do you all come to the office to babble? If you don't want to work, head down to HR and turn in your resignation! "

In an instant, everyone went back to their cubicles, and a hushed silence fell over the office, save the ringing of phones and the clacking of printers.

Anne sat in her own office and got to work. The whole morning passed so quickly that she didn't even notice.

Emily, her assistant, walked in and stood beside her.

"Anne, what do you want for lunch? Shall we go together or should I get some takeout for you?"

As an assistant, Emily was very conscientious. She would even help with the little things.

"Let's go out to lunch. I'm pregnant now, and I should get some exercise."

Anne touched her baby bump with her slender hand. As she thought of the little life that was growing inside of her, her heart softened.

"Okay, let's go now. It's my treat!" Emily took up Anne's hand happily and looked enthusiastic.

Looking at her lovely appearance, Anne couldn't help laughing. The coldness in her bright eyes faded. It made her seem so much more accessible.

But when the two of them were about to leave the office hand in hand, someone opened the door to Anne's office suite. It was Kevin, his tall, slender figure looking very businesslike.

The smile on Anne's face disappeared, and her eyes turned cold again.

"Something I can help you with, Mr. Kevin?" Anne's tone was indifferent and respectful, but it contained no warmth.

"Can't I simply come to see you?" Kevin asked in a calm tone.

He frowned at her attempt to create distance.

The woman was smiling happily a minute ago. As soon as she saw him, she became reticent. She must really hate him.

"Of course you can. You're the president and everyone here is your employee. You can pop in whenever you want."

Her tone was still indifferent. She was a little annoyed. She didn't know what was wrong with Kevin these days. He always did something unusual and deliberately found something to yell at her for.

But to avoid an argument, she just simply took it.

Looking at Anne unhappily, Kevin was even angrier. Her indifferent attitude made him really mad.

"It's lunch time. You can have lunch with me." He was cold and impatient, and his statement sounded more like a command than anything else.

Anne looked at Kevin in surprise, wondering if he was out of his mind. He wanted to have lunch with her? What was wrong with him?

When she came to her senses, Anne looked at him calmly and refused without hesitation.

"No, thanks. I told Emily I'd have lunch with her. I don't have time to eat with you. So if you don't mind..."

She knew what was he was thinking. Anne didn't want to be alone with him, even for a second.

"So, Emily—you're having lunch with Anne?"

Kevin looked at Emily and raised his voice as if he was asking, but there was a threat in that question somewhere.

"Well, Anne and I were still figuring that out." She gave Anne a panicked look and tried to avoid a confrontation with Kevin. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

Surprised, Anne looked at Emily with dissatisfaction in her beautiful eyes.

A moment ago, the two of them had made a deal, but this girl told Kevin a different story, which put her in an awkward position.

Emily looked at Kevin. "Anne's got to be starving by now. So go ahead and take her out if you want. I have something else to do, so I'll leave you two alone."

After she said this, Emily winked at Anne, signaling her to seize the opportunity and slip away quickly.

Seeing that, Anne felt a little taken aback. Emily did know how Kevin treated her, but this girl still wanted her to go out with Kevin. How ridiculous!

"Do you have time now?" There was a hint of a smile in Kevin's black eyes. He actually found this woman quite cute.

"Kevin, what do you want? I didn't do anything wrong, did I?"

Anne couldn't stand the man, and there he was again. Her expression showed that she was exasperated.

This man's attitude made her feel a little uneasy. She was used to his cold words.

"Did I say you did anything wrong?" While frowning slightly, Kevin was also annoyed by Anne's attitude.

What kind of person did she think he was? He just wanted to have lunch with her.

"You seem to want to cause drama all the time. If you're not happy with my job performance, just tell me. Quit bugging me!"

Anne couldn't stand Kevin's attitude anymore, and she blew up at him. This man really made her blood boil.

He hated her a lot, but he was good at doing a 180 and giving her false hope. She really hated his back and forth, because she never knew what to expect. Talk about hot and cold running men!

"Do you think I'm causing drama and bugging you now?" Kevin said this slowly, his face turning stony.

This damn woman thought he was bothering her. He had better things to do.

"Yeah. You almost make me think you care about me."

When she said that, there was a self-mocking smile on Anne's face. He didn't care about her. He even said as much.

"What I care about is the baby you're carrying!"

This was not what he intended to say. The words just got altered the moment they when they left his mouth. His uncaring expression only made her resent him more.

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of the baby." Anne tried to rein in her emotions so she could speak calmly.

"You look so frail. Think I can turn a blind eye to that? As far as I can tell, you haven't gained any weight since your pregnancy, instead you've lost a lot."

This woman was too skinny. She said she could take good care of herself. Most of the time, she really didn't know how to take care of herself.

Anne looked at Kevin in surprise. She didn't expect him to pay so much attention to her.

But soon she realized that he just cared about the baby. It was normal for him to notice such trivial things like her weight. She had to remind herself it was all about the kid.

"Let's go have lunch!" Kevin didn't want to argue with Anne anymore, so he took her hand and strode out with her.

Anne had wanted to take her hand back, but she was a little reluctant to part with him. He still had a place in her heart. The temperature of his palm melted her icy composure.

Everyone's eyes widened and their jaws dropped. They were holding hands! Since when were they that close?

"What the hell is going on? What's wrong with Mr. Kevin? I thought he hated her."

"He does. Or at least, I thought he did. Why is he being so nice to her? Anne took the CEO's car to the office this morning."

"Do you think this means something? Is he really going to be with Anne, then?"

After they left, people began to gossip, and Anne and Kevin were all they could talk about.

As soon as she walked in the office, Cherry heard people talking about this. Anger instantly welled up in her beautiful eyes. If she hadn't come at just the right time, she wouldn't even have known that Anne managed to get so close to Kevin.

"Ahem!"

Cherry deliberately coughed and glanced coldly at the employees chatting among themselves.

What they were talking about made her unhappy.

They looked around at the source of the sound she made. When they saw Cherry, they lapsed into awkward silence. Everyone looked at her, embarrassed for the moment. It wasn't long before a couple employees approached her.

"Miss Cherry! You're here. Looking for the president?"

"Please sit here and make yourself comfortable, Miss Cherry. I'll make you a cup of coffee."

Everyone knew that Cherry was the apple of Kevin's eye, so they tried their best to please her.

After all, this woman was very likely to be the future wife of their president. They wanted to make sure they weren't on her hit list.

Cherry glanced at the people beside her and struggled to keep her tone indifferent.

"Did you just say that Kevin took Anne to lunch?" Cherry hated her to death, but she pretended to be calm.

"Yes. A moment ago, the two of them were holding hands. Miss Cherry, you have to be careful of Anne." One of the women sat in next to Cherry and tried to remind her.

"I don't need to be careful. Anne is my cousin."

She stressed the word "cousin". Cherry hated her cousin, though. And the fact that she stole her man when she was away was just too much.

"Miss Ye, you are too kind. Anne's not as innocent and kind-hearted as you. I think she's trying to take Kevin away from you!"

One of them kept reminding Cherry of this, in a tone full of disgust for Anne.

"That's right. Anne's pretty hot. What if the CEO becomes infatuated with her? What if she uses that to her advantage? So, Miss Cherry, you do have to be careful."

As Cherry heard this, the smile on her face froze, and her beautiful eyes grew even colder.

If that was what Anne wanted, Cherry had to stop her.

Kevin was her man and she was the future wife of the president of the company! She would never let Anne have a chance.

"Just stop talking about it. I know Kevin loves me more than anyone. He won't let me down."

Forcing a smile, Cherry pretended not to care.
