I muttered "hmm" and hung up.
In the video, William sighed in relief, then pulled Jessica back into his arms, kissing passionately under the fireworks.
William didn't get back to the office until noon the next day.
I took a cab there.
Since I rarely appear publicly, his employees didn’t recognize me.
The receptionist asked me to wait in the office area.
I spotted Jessica right away, handing out small Disney souvenirs to her colleagues.
I heard them call her "Mrs. Brown."
So, their relationship was an open secret; I was the only one in the dark.
Jessica noticed me and, after a brief surprise, walked over calmly.
"Jane, long time no see."
I asked evenly, "When did you come back?"
"Half a year ago," Jessica's eyes sparkled with provocation, "William hired me as his assistant."
So they hooked up half a year ago...
Around the same time, I quit my job to conceive a child, took bitter medicine to regulate my body, and took care of William diligently.
No wonder when I wanted to bring him soup before, he always declined with various excuses.
I thought he was being considerate, not wanting me to overwork.
Little did I know he had a pretty girl at his office and was afraid I'd find out.
