Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe receptionist's new colleague asked curiously, "Who is she? Why is she dressed so strangely?" Long-time employees at Arnold Corporation were aware that Ethan had a high school girlfriend in the past. For some unknown reason, she had wanted to break up with the CEO. Then, in a mysterious turn of events, they were both involved in a car accident on the highway, which nearly took Ethan's life. That ex-girlfriend of Ethan was Donna.
Arnold family had kept this incident quiet, and not many people outside were aware of it. Donna had somehow disappeared afterward.
Donna and Ethan's relationship had been highly publicized in the past. Not only did the entire Arnold Corporation know of her existence, but even the Arnold family, despite their reservations about her, dared not do anything against her because of Ethan's protection. After all these years, she had returned.
After an hour-long meeting, Leyton emerged with a magazine in hand. "Now it has sold a hundred thousand copies. Miss Jent is probably unaware of this. Should we consider seeking compensation from the magazine?" The cover featured a couple walking hand in hand on a beach. The man's face was obscured, but the woman's profile was visible. The background depicted a beautiful scene of the blue sky and sea, creating a captivating image.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEspecially striking was the woman's gaze as she looked at the man beside her—a look filled with deep affection. Anyone who saw the photo would assume that the woman was deeply in love with the man.
However, these two individuals were none other than Ethan and Madelyn. They had been secretly photographed while taking a stroll in Marisburg and had ended up on the magazine's cover.
This magazine company specialized in capturing photos of couples. It wasn't very well-known before and had average sales with their previous issues. However, due to this particular cover, it unexpectedly became a sensation. The magazine, with a hundred thousand copies initially printed, had completely sold out. They had even been in the process of additional printings until Arnold Corporation put a stop to it, just half an hour ago, for infringing on the personal image rights of those photographed without their knowledge.
Ethan looked at the cover and smiled. "It's well done. Let's pretend we don't know about this." Leyton was puzzled, "Pretend we don't know?" He wondered, "What does he mean?" It wasn't until Ethan gave him a knowing look that Leyton realized, "I got it now. I'll have the legal department withdraw the letter.” Leyton thought, ‘Pretending not to know means acknowledging the magazine's actions. It seems Mr. Arnold wants to turn a blind eye and allow the magazine to continue printing and selling, so that everyone knows about his relationship with Miss Jent." Leyton couldn't help but think that this incident had been a huge boon for the magazine. After all, Ethan was not one to easily show his face, even at events or parties.
The two of them arrived at the door of Ethan's office.
Ethan frowned when he noticed the door was not tightly closed and halted. He asked, "Do | have any other appointments today?" Leyton heard some commotion coming from inside the office. "No," he replied. He stepped forward and pushed the door open, only to find Donna sitting in Ethan's office chair. His expression changed abruptly. ‘She actually dares to come back!"
