Chapter 4 His Unrequited Crush
“What? What?”
Richard seemed to have heard some big secret. He pulled Beau excitedly and said, “I thought Shaun Murphy wasn’t interested in women! Now you’re telling me that she’s his crush? And it’s our company’s incoming CEO?”
Beau laughed and slapped Richard’s hands away, “You’ve been living under a rock. Did you really not know about this? It’s common knowledge in the elite circles. You’re not gonna survive in the CEO’s office!”
“Please, Master Beau, teach me your ways!” Richard pleaded while pulling on Beau’s sleeve.
Beau then lowered his voice and said, “Mr. Murphy and our chairman’s daughter are childhood friends. According to the grapevine, five years ago, Mr. Murphy proposed to Ginny Wayne. But Ms. Wayne, in order to study, refused Mr.
Murphy, and the two had a little conflict. They went five years without contact, but when Ms. Wayne returned to the country, Mr. Murphy personally went to the airport to pick her up. I don’t know about you, but I think that’s enough to show that he still cares about her.”
Richard’s eyes widened as he covered his little mouth and said with an excited face, “Oh my God! What an absolutely sweet little drama this is!”
Jennifer’s heart skipped a beat and her face turned white.
As it turned out, Shaun ended their agreement early because his old flame came back.
But if he already had his eyes set on someone, why did he buy her for one night five years ago without hesitation?
After the first time they slept together, she was forced to sign a lovers’ agreement.
And every time he touched her, he went so crazy that he could hardly control himself.
She didn’t quite dare to believe it. But just as she was about to ask Beau where she heard the gossip from, she saw the CEO’s exclusive elevator suddenly open.
Jessica, the CEO’s special assistant, and several department
heads were the first to walk out.
They bowed down and made a gesture of invitation to the people inside. “Mr. Murphy, Ms. Wayne, the CEO’s office is here. Please.”
As soon as the words left his mouth, a man in an expensive suit with a cold aura emanating from his body walked out
from within.
His features are deep and well-defined. His looks were stunningly beautiful, his body slender, and his temperament impeccable.
It was like a nobleman walking out of a painting, combining elegance and indifference in one, so that people dared not look directly at him. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
Jennifer recognized Shaun right away and her heart suddenly tightened.
As she was thinking about it, she saw Shaun turn slightly
sideways and extend his bony hand toward the elevator.
Soon, a small and delicate hand was placed in his palm.
He held that hand tightly and led the woman out.
When Jennifer saw the woman’s face, she suddenly understood why Shaun would be willing to buy her for one night.
It turned out that she looked a little similar to her. Not by a lot, but enough for Jennifer to recognize the truth.
She used to think Shaun was more or less fond of her, but she never realized he was just using her as a stand-in.
Her heart suddenly clenched for no reason, followed by dense pain sweeping through her, making her face white with pain.
Richard asked with concern, “Jennifer, what’s wrong with you? Is something wrong?”
Jennifer shook her head gently, and Richard was about to say something when Jessica led the two over.
Jennifer quickly lowered her eyes, not daring to look at them, but the hand on her keyboard could not stop trembling.
Jessica introduced them one by one, “This is the CEO’s office. Your assistants are inside. Ms. Wayne, you can seek them out if you need anything in the future.”
Ms. Wayne nodded her head, looked at everyone, and softly said, “Good morning everyone. I’m your new CEO. My name is Ginny Wayne.”
Ginny…
Jennifer’s face was even whiter when she heard the name.
Her mind kept flashing to the image of Shaun holding her in
bed.
At that time, Shaun would always call out “Jenny” in her ear.
Now she realized the name he called was never Jenny, but
Ginny….
Jennifer clenched her fists causing her long fingernails to sink into her flesh, but she could not feel the pain.
The suffocating feeling of being toyed with and abandoned wrapped itself around her, making her unable to prevent tears from coming to her eyes.
She was stupid enough to have fallen in love with Shaun because of his occasional warmth.
