Chapter 4

Therefore, she must not let Waylon know that she was his ex-wife.

"Really? You'd better not lie to me. Otherwise---" Waylon laughed coldly and didn't finish his sentence. He then looked at Alena with interest, and said with great rudeness, "Originally, I just wanted to use you to attack Christiano Cohen. It's just self-esteem. But seeing how you don't give me face right now, I suddenly became interested in you. You are the first woman who dares to refuse me. But it doesn't matter. As long as you're Waylon's fancy, whether it's business or not, I'm still a man. And I've never failed to get anything that I want!"

He could see that the little woman in front of him was really dismissive of him, not like other women who just wanted to refuse and welcome him later on.

He got so interested in her. He couldn't believe that a woman was not into him despite his great looks and all. He couldn't believe that she was so hard to get.

Alena Wright was speechless. She used to please Waylon in every possible way. But now, he was the one who was very interested in her. It was ridiculously odd.

Feeling Waylon's hot breath hitting her face, Alena only felt numb and uncomfortable. They had already signed a divorce agreement. And even if this man gave it to her in the future, she would not want it.

"Let me go!" Alena suddenly became angry. So she raised her foot and pushed towards Waylon's crotch.

Waylon reflexively took a step back, avoided it, and at the same time released the hand that clamped Alena.

Alena had her chance so she immediately ran away from him.

It was as if she ran away from the person who she was married for three years.

Christiano Cohen was looking for Alena Wright. After seeing her, he immediately walked over and said, "What's the matter? You don't look so good. What happened to you?"

"I'm okay. I was just a bit uncomfortable." Alena said evasively, not wanting to mention what she had just encountered outside.

Since Waylon didn't recognize her, she didn't need to be silly, telling people everywhere that she was Waylon Gray's ex-wife. She desperately hoped that the two of them will stay like this together forever.

"If it's uncomfortable, then let's go ahead." Christiano Cohen said thoughtfully.

Alena Wright nodded, and the two left together.

After coming out of the hotel, Christiano suddenly answered a phone call, and then directly asked the driver to drive the car back to the company.

When he got downstairs in the company, he opened the door for Alena and said, "Do you mind working overtime with me?"

"No, no. Not at all." Alena politely responded. She laughed and said jokingly, "It would be better if there will be overtime pay."

"No problem!" Christiano also laughed.

The two returned to the office together, and Christiano immediately took out the bidding documents and planned to make some improvements.

Alena carefully poured a cup of coffee for Christiano. She glanced at him and said, "Senior, have a cup of coffee to warm your stomach."

Christiano didn't reply. He just looked at the documents intently.

Alena followed through and asked, "Senior, haven't all the bidding documents been completed? Is there any problem?"

"I'm just a little worried." Christiano said with a sigh.

"Is it because of the man I met at the dinner party?" Alena asked, without restraining curiosity.

Christiano did not hide it either, and responded, "Yes. And he is the President of Monarch International. He is the famous Waylon Gray."

Alena pursed her lips. Then she couldn't help but ask, "Is he good?"

"Yes, he is a man of great means. He took over Monarch International Group at the young age of twenty. In just five years, Monarch International became one of the highest-earning companies in the world, increasing its market value by 200%. He is a business prodigy, and almost no one can compete with him in City A," When Christiano Cohen mentioned Waylon Gray, his tone was a little bit. The meaning of sub-appreciation: "In city a, he is a well-deserved uncrowned king."

"Is he that powerful?" Alena Wright muttered to herself a little absent-mindedly.

She knew that Waylon Gray was very powerful, but she didn't expect him to be at that level of power. What Christiano Cohen had mentioned was much better than what she had imagined. Alena Wright was suddenly a little lost. She didn't expect that she and Waylon Gray had been married for three years, yet she didn't know so much about him.

Christiano Cohen watched Alena Wright's strange expression and he solemnly said, "Alena, as your senior and supervisor, I have to remind you to not have any thoughts about Waylon Gray. He is cruel and unpredictable. He will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal. My former secretary who had been fascinated by Waylon Gray went to the Monarch International Group desperately, but Waylon Gray only used her and he had no love for her. I don't want the same thing to happen to you."

As Alena Wright listened to Christiano Cohen's words, she realized that he had misunderstood her intentions and she couldn't help but smile, "Sir, don't worry! I won't be that confused! I will not go after him."

She had been enlightened a long time ago and she knew that it was impossible for her and Waylon Gray to be with each other. Otherwise, she would not take the initiative to file for a divorce.

And after she heard, Christiano Cohen's words, she became more eager to continue their divorce. Waylon Gray was really terrible.

When Christiano Cohen saw that Alena Wright was willing to listen, he was relieved so he said with a smile, "I think Waylon Gray has already taken note of which you are when he saw you today, so you have to be careful. My previous secretary had been leaked a lot of information back then. She had revealed the company's secrets to Waylon Gray and the company had suffered heavy losses. This time the bidding will be very important to the company. Alena, can I trust you?"

"Sir..." Alena Wright bit her lip as she wondered whether she should tell Christiano Cohen about her relationship with Waylon Gray.

She noticed that Christiano Cohen's feared Waylon Gray. If he would know her relationship with Waylon Gray, would he think differently of her?

She liked the Cohen Group company and her new work very much, and she did not want to lose it, not to mention that Waylon Gray would not be there.

Alena Wright suddenly made a decision.

"Sir, don't worry. I will never betray the company," Alena Wright assured Christiano Cohen with a blazing gaze.

"Okay, I believe you," Christiano Cohen nodded in satisfaction.

The two were busy until the next morning. It was already late when Alena Wright went off from work.

As soon as she walked out of the company, she heard a screeching sound of a car. The car horn honk and the car stopped in front of her.

Alena Wright looked towards the car, and her eyes widened when she saw the person inside the car.

The person inside the car was Waylon Gray's father!

"Amanda..." Alfred Gray called her.

Alena Wright's heart sunk as she heard Alfred Gray called her. Her parents divorced when she was very young, since then, her father's whereabouts were unknown to her. Her name had changed from Amanda Quinston to Alena Wright and there were only a very few people who would call her that.

The name Amanda Quinston was given by her father, so she had never forgotten it.

And Alfred Gray was one of the closest person to her. He had treated her as his own daughter, and he even treated her better than he treated Waylon Gray.

"Dad, why are you here?" Alena Wright asked in surprise.

"I came back from the manor in the suburbs and brought you a lot of fruits and vegetables that you like to eat. When I was about to send them to you, I found that there was no one at home. I asked someone to check where you are. Then I found out that you work for this company, so I came to find you here," Alfred Gray said lovingly.

"Thank you Dad," Alena Wright felt bitter when she thought that she had signed the divorce agreement.

From now on, she will no longer be eligible to call Alfred Gray her dad.

"Amanda, didn't you have enough money? I will ask Ron Andrews to give you money later," Alfred Gray said worriedly. "I notice that you became thinner, is Waylon being bad to you? Just call and scold him for you."
