Light 364_Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO

Chapter 364 

 Ian scratched his head, puzzled.

 Sure, they hadn’t worked with John in a while, but even then, the front desk had always been polite and cordial, at the very least.

 So why the sudden change in attitude?

 He stepped up to the door, speaking clearly toward the inside.

 “Hi, I just want to ask a few questions. I won’t take much of your time or disturb your boss.

 “Would you mind opening the door so we can talk face–to–face for a minute?”

 He kept his tone sincere, trying to strike a professional bnce. 

 But the moment he mentioned “your boss,” the receptionist’s face visibly shifted again.

 ‘Our boss isn’t here anymore. You’d better just go. I’m leaving in a few days too,” she replied curtly, voice sharp.

 Her boss wasn’t here anymore? That made no sense.

 “Then where is he? Can you at least tell me where he went?”

 without another word, the receptionist shut the inner door as well, clearly done with the conversation.

 The message was loud and clear: she didn’t want to talk, and he wasn’t wee.

 Ian stood there, snubbed, his expression stiff.

 He was the executive assistant to the general manager of Walton Corporation, and yet he was being treated like a nobody. It stung more than a little.

 Fine. If they didn’t want to give him face, no point staying longer.

 “Not once,” the man said, shaking his head. “And no one else really has either. They’re not taking clients, the office’s basically shut down. I’ve even heard the staff’s getting ready to jump ship.” 

 “I see. That’s all I needed to know. Thanks.” 

 No point prying further–anything more would just seem intrusive.

 With everything he needed to report, Ian turned and left.

 There was no reason to stay any longer.

 On Aurora’s end, her mind was tangled in thoughts of how to make things right with Lucas. 

 It would’ve been easier if she’d remained unaware of what was happening online, but she did know.

 And knowing that all of it stemmed from her made the guilt so much harder to shake.

 She wanted to make it up to him. 

 But there was still one thing she couldn’t quite get past: the so–called true love from his past.

 After spending all this time around Wendy, Aurora could say with certainty that she wasn’t the one. 

 There was no way Lucas saw her as anything more than a younger sister.

 But if that was true, then who was the person saved in his notes?

 That mysterious “true love” he once couldn’t let go of?

 Aurora pressed her lips together, frustration rising.

 No matter how hard she tried to focus, the files in front of her blurred into meaningless words.

 She knew that after everything they’d been through, she should trust Lucas more, stop digging into the past, and letting herself be consumed by jealousy.

 But she couldn’t help it.

 That one name, that one memory buried in his phone, still haunted her.

 Who was she?

 Who was the woman Lucas once couldn’t forget?
