Charlene sat in the office, pondering over things, the more she thought, the angrier she became.

This woman probably married Brother Gu just because she bore his child. For the sake of the child, to give her a status, Brother Gu probably thought so too.

Charlene’s hand clenched into a fist, just like her heart, tightly grasped by something.

Suddenly, Charlene thought that since they were both in the company now, she should properly meet this woman.

No time like the present, she would go meet her now.

Charlene found the floor where Shu Pan was located in less than five minutes.

She glanced around, a scornful smile playing at her lips, then she walked in with graceful steps.

Shu Pan had just finished arranging her desk, brewed herself a cup of coffee, and sneaked a moment of relaxation on the balcony of the pantry. Looking down at the bustling streets below, and then thinking about where she was, she felt a wave of emotion.

This was her husband’s company.

She was truly proud of him, managing such a large company wasn’t easy, but he did it.

But he also endured hardships unknown to others.

She looked around, it was an imposing building, staring at the dazzling huge glass curtain wall, imagining her man in his office, strategizing, she felt a warmth in her chest.

“Miss Shu, hi, can we talk for a moment?” Charlene saw Shu Pan on the balcony, saw no one around, and walked straight over.

Shu Pan’s thoughts were interrupted, she turned her head slowly, “Who are you?”

“Hmph, don’t play dumb. Didn’t we meet at the anniversary celebration last time? I believe you remember it vividly,” Charlene didn’t beat around the bush.

Shu Pan’s face instantly stiffened and changed color. So it was her.

That day she had heavy makeup on, dressed in a gown like a star, she was indeed unrecognizable now.

Charlene was also seeing Shu Pan face-to-face for the first time, and her heart skipped a beat. She hadn’t expected Shu Pan to have a more charming aura in person than in photos, making her very pleasant to look at, and the more she looked, the more attractive she seemed.

Shu Pan was also sizing up Charlene at close range—elegant, beautiful, young, exuding the air of an aristocratic lady.

For a moment, neither of them spoke, both silently appraising each other.

Charlene smiled first, her eyes carrying a hint of confidence and pride. She approached Shu Pan and said, “I’m Charlene, currently Brother Gu’s assistant.”

Shu Pan was momentarily stunned, but quickly regained her composure. She smiled slightly at Charlene and replied, “I wonder what Miss Charlene needs from me?”

As she asked, Shu Pan felt a tinge of bitterness. So, Charlene was Gu Shaoting’s assistant. From her attire, behavior, and even her father, Shu Pan could tell that Charlene came from an extraordinary background. But why would she willingly come here to be a mere assistant? And why did she address him as “Brother Gu” instead of “Mr. Gu”?

It seemed they were quite familiar with each other, but Shu Pan had never heard Gu Shaoting mention her. Was he avoiding the topic? Or did he think it was unnecessary? Or was he intentionally hiding something?

Suddenly, Shu Pan couldn’t quite understand, couldn’t think clearly.

“The reason I’m here to see you, I’m sure you’re not clueless about it, right?” Charlene was straightforward, leaving no room for Shu Pan to play dumb.

Shu Pan could only feign ignorance. “I really don’t know. We’re not acquainted, are we? I can’t even say we’ve met before.”

Charlene smirked mockingly. “We both know the same man, and that’s enough.”

Shu Pan’s brow furrowed suddenly. Didn’t she know they were already married?
