Ellie, absorbed in her task, was unaware she’d be the subject of photos now circting in GT Group’s employee chat.
“There’s an absolute stunner at today’s interview! Puts the celebrities to shame!”
“You’re goddamn right! She’s the epitome of elegance! Makes me feel like aplete klutz.”
“She’s so stunning! She could coast on her looks alone! Why even bother with talent?”
“Skeptical here! Come on! Show me her pics.”
Bruce, also a GT employee, saw the chat and smirked, unaware of Ellie’s presence.
Then the photos appeared, and his smugness vanished.

Did she know her husband was on the thirty-eighth floor, in the CEO’s office?
Pondering briefly, Bruce hurried to Kaiden’s office.
Kaiden’s office exuded a spacious and bright ambiance, adorned with expansive windows, yet its ck-and-white palette lent a stark, austere vibe.
Kaiden was at his desk when Bruce burst in.
“Mr. Thorpe, you need to see this.” Bruce presented his phone. “Isn’t this Mrs. Thorpe?”
The photo showed a woman in a chic, light beige dress and ck coat, attentively working on a mannequin. Her elegance was undeniable, her demeanor cool and collected.
Kaiden’s expression darkened. “Wasn’t she meant to be resting at home?”
Bruce was clueless about the situation.
After all, it wasn’t his spouse.
Kaiden immediately called Cayson to check in.
“Mrs. Thorpe left early, mentioning an errand,” Cayson reported.
An errand?
