1 let Cierra go first and followed Wayne to an empty corridor. 

“What do y you have to say? Just say it here.” 

Wayne looked at me with cold eyes and said, “What is happening right now? Why did I suddenly move from home to the office?” 

My heart suddenly trembled. 

I suppressed the shock and panic in my heart and calmly replied, “What are you saying? I don’t understand.” 

Wayne’s eyes dimmed. “What exactly happened between us 12 years ago?” 

1 raised my eyebrows slightly and said, “12 years ago, not only did you reject me, but you also intentionally applied to a different college from mine. Have you forgotten?” 

Wayne stared at me intently as if trying to find any flaws on my face. 

He remembered vaguely there was such a thing, but he also clearly remembered he had already married Allison and that they had a son. 

But when he came to his senses, he found himself in the company’s meeting room. 

When he mentioned his recent experience, everyone looked at him in shock, saying he had never been married and that it was even more impossible for him to have a child. 

With that in mind, Wayne tentatively asked me, “Do you remember that we have a child?” 

I opened my mouth in feigned surprise and said, “How could you say that? If Ms. Frank heard it, that would be terrible. 

Wayne’s face darkened, and he said coldly, “I told you I had no improper relationship with Carina” 

Speaking of Carina, Wayne didn’t know what was going on with her today.

to unscrew the bottle cap. 

When he was hosting, she gazed fixedly at him. Even after stepping down from the stage, she coquettishly asked for his 3 Carina treated Wayne as if they were madly in love, making him feel uncomfortable all over. 

If Carina’s brother hadn’t asked Wayne to arrange a position for her in his company, Wayne wouldn’t have hired het. 

I looked at Wayne in front of me, who was as indifferent as his 30–year–old self, 

If it were the 18–year–old Wayne, I would feel somewhat gulity towards him. After all, he indeed helped me a lot back then. 

But the 

e person in front of me was clearly still the 30–year–old Wayne, and naturally, there was not even a trace of guilt left in my heart 

“I have something to do, so if there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first” 

After saying that, I turned around and left without looking back. 

Behind me, Wayne reached out to try to grab me, but I had already taken a step forward 

Wayne and I both had our own companies. Although we were in the same jewelry industry, we didn’t have many opportunities to interact 

In the few years I worked, my impression of Wayne was limited to a chance encounter in a meeting. 

Looking at the pile of design drafts in front of me, I sighed resignedly. 

The results of the design competition I participated in before just came out today. 

The good news was that our company won first place, and the bad news was that we became busier. 

Fortunately, I had all the design foundations and experience. Otherwise, I would have had to start learning various knowledge from scratch. 

I grabbed my hair and started working 

After two calm days, I had already successfully adapted to the role of the company president, handling the work in an orderly manner. 

One day, while I was busy, I managed to make time to chat with Clerra. She pulled at my sleeve and started talking about the gossip within our industry. 

Suddenly, Cierra mentioned that familiar name. “Do you still remember Ms. Frank? The one from the last exchange meeting. 

I nodded. “Yes, what happened to her?” 

“Ms. Frank confessed her feelings for Wayne, but she was rejected.”

1 was a bit surprised, “Weren’t they already together for a long time?” 

Cierra smiled, “That’s not true at all! Just because they looked intimate, everyone thought they were a couple.” 

I nodded and casually asked, “So why did he refuse Ms. Frank? I heard he treated her well. He must like her.” 

Cierra scratched her head and smiled, “I don’t know about that, but I heard a story. Previously, when Mr. Reid was in a meeting, he got distracted. When he came back to his senses, he went around telling people that he got married and even had such a big son.” 

Cierra spoke while gesturing with her hands. 

“So everyone speculated that he was probably under a lot of pressure recently and started having hallucinations,” 

1 raised an eyebrow. “That was crazy. Is it true? 

Cierra quicldy answered me, “It’s absolutely true. One of my friends works at the Reid’s Jewelry, and she was in that meeting room at that time.” 

Cierra suddenly paused, her gaze awlowardly shifting behind me. “Mr. Reid” 

I was startled and turned around to see that Wayne had appeared behind me, nodding gently towards me. 

I just didn’t understand why Wayne came to the café near my company. 

“Ms. Burnett, are you available? I have something I would like to discuss with you.” 

Cera tactfully gave up her seat, saying, “I suddenly remembered that I still had some work to do at the company. I’ll leave first. You guys can continue chatting 

Watching Cierra’s retreating figure, I impatiently said, “Come on. What do you want to say this time?” 

Wayne pulled out a chair and sat down, but unlike before, there was no trace of aggression in his eyes this time. 

“I heard that your company won first place in the design competition, Congratulations to you.” 

I nodded and replied expressionlessly, “Thank you.” 

Seeing my indifferent attitude, he forced a smile and said, “It seems that the jewelry industry is indeed more suitable for you.” 

I didn’t want to talk nonsense with him, so I directly told him, “If there’s nothing else, then I’ll leave.” 

With that, I turned around to leave when suddenly I heard his sincere voice from behind. “I’m sorry 

1 paused and turned to look at him in astonishment. 

Wayne lowered his gaze and said, “I’m sorry, Allison.” 

“You” 

His eyes were clear and bright at that moment, filled only with sincerity, just like when he was 18. 

I asked him with a complicated look, “Have you remembered everything?” 

“Yes.” 

He walked up to my side and carefully held my arms with both hands. “What I had done over the years disappointed you, right? 

His voice was cautious and guilty. 

“I’m sorry, Allison. I let you down! 

I quietly withdrew my arms from his hands and forced a smile. “It’s okay. It’s all in the past. There’s no need to bring it up again. Besides, I’m doing fine 

How. 

Wayne pursed his lips. I asked him, “Is there anything else?” 

He looked at me carefully and then shook his head. 

My heart suddenly tightened 

Now Wayne was just like his 17–year–old self. My rone unconsciously softened. 

Then I’m going back to my company.” 

Wayne nodded gently,
