I remember Troy got married. If Ayla is his wife, why have we never heard of her? Recently, Troy has always been accompanied by a woman at social events.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Will interjected at this moment, \u201cAyla has been married to Troy for three years.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After saying this, Will suddenly understood why he had felt it unfortunate when he first learned Ayla had married young.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As Herman had said, Ayla and Draven seemed like they belonged in the same world.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>James analyzed Herman\u2019s words and snapped his fingers. \u201cDivorce cannot be far off. So, after Ayla divorces, what then?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Draven had no feelings toward Ayla. Their teasing was merely imagination, completely unrelated to him, even an undeserved intrusion\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have no possibility with her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Draven\u2019s voice was cold and resolute. Then he added, with a cold warning, \u201cIf I hear these words again, I will consider it idle chatter, but do not mention it in front of Ayla.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This was unfair to her and did not show enough respect toward Ayla.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The next day.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ayla woke\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>up and washed her face, changing the bandage on her scraped left hand. Minor scratches healed quickly, while the more serious ones would take a few days.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This reminded her briefly of Juliet\u2019s indifferent attitude.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She closed her palm and decided not to dwell on it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She changed into the new suit she had purchased, draped a trench coat over it, grabbed her bag, and drove to work.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She bought a coffee downstairs at the company, displayed her employee ID on her chest,\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1\/3\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Hap 41 Even More Handsome Than a Movie Star\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>swiped through security, and entered the Storm Group building.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sacha was the first to notice the change in Ayla.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She had arrived early as usual, eager to see Draven.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAyla, you looked so exhausted last week. Today, you seem much better.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+10 Free Coins\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Last week, Ayla had suffered a miscarriage and divorce, leaving no time to rest. She certainly had not been in good condition.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ayla replied, \u201cReally? What is different?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sacha touched her hair. \u201cYour hairstyle is different. Before, you always tied a simple ponytail at the back of your head. It was convenient, but it looked tired after a while. Now you have a small bun at the back. It looks much neater, and overall, more refined.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Previously, Ayla had been busy taking care of Troy, leaving no time to attend to herself. Now, with new clothing and a simple hairstyle, the difference was noticeable.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ayla said, \u201cThank you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy are you thanking me? You are naturally beautiful. Whoever marries you will be the happiest man on earth.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Having worked with Ayla for several years, Sacha knew exactly how remarkable and kind- hearted she was.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She anticipated Ayla\u2019s \u201cthank you\u201d and quickly covered her mouth to stop her from speaking.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>At that moment, the elevator exclusive to the CEO chimed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Draven had arrived.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Blake, the chief secretary, and Will, Draven\u2019s executive assistant, stepped out of the elevator first.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Behind them, Draven appeared, dressed in a perfectly tailored suit.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>His tall and imposing figure, flawless features, and proud, indifferent gaze immediately exuded an aura of majesty and authority.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sacha froze, her eyes reflecting shock and admiration.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Other colleagues also instinctively put down their work, all eyes on Draven.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Accustomed to attention, Draven did not look aside.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>2\/3\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Capici 41 Even More Handsome Than a Movie Star\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+10 Free Coins\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The three of them entered the CEO\u2019s office. Even though most people had seen Draven before, seeing him again left them equally impressed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Working hard was difficult, but Draven\u2019s appearance provided undeniable consolation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sacha grabbed Ayla\u2019s hand excitedly, shaking it. He really is even more handsome than a\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>movie star!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ayla could not help smiling at her enthusiasm.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sacha, still captivated, said, \u201cI have to ask my husband about Draven!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ayla did not disturb her and focused on her work.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>About half an hour later, Will and Blake emerged from the CEO\u2019s office.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Will went back to work, while Blake instructed Ayla to print several documents and bring them to Draven.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ayla printed the documents and knocked on the CEO\u2019s office door.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEnter.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After the cold confirmation, Ayla pushed the door open.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Draven was not sitting at the desk but on the leather couch in the reception area, relaxed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He was clearly not a man of conventional habits.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr. Storm, here are the documents you requested.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Draven did not lift his eyelids. \u201cPut them down.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ayla placed the documents and was about to leave, but she stayed where she was.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Noticing this, the man\u2019s deep gaze swept over her with a pressing force. His expression remained impassive. \u201cIs there anything else?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ayla, forcing herself, said, \u201cMr. Storm, I don\u2019t mean to disturb you. It\u2019s just that I transferred the money to you, and you haven\u2019t accepted it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She didn\u2019t know James, and it made no sense to accept a gift from him out of the blue, especially one of such value.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>3\/3\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unwritten Feelings Drift by Austen 41 Chapter 41 Even More Handsome Than a Movie Star\u00a0 Draven said, \u201cI\u2019m not stopping [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24476","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-retired-from-your-heart-novel"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24476","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24476"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24476\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24476"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24476"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24476"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
