After dropping that bombshell, Ulric turned and left.
The subsequent work assignments were arranged by the head of the HR department.
Rosalind never expected Ulric to call her name in public. Even when they were married, he had never been so ostentatious at the company; at most, he would wait for her after work to go home together. Today, he personally came to the waiting room and said her name out loud, which was equivalent to announcing to everyone at Eastsun Corporation that they had an unusual relationship. Was he crazy?
“Mr. Walters… did he just say your name?” Rosalind was stunned, and Mr. Wong was even more so.
He almost thought he was hallucinating.
“It seems so…”
“Do you know each other?” Mr. Wong’s eyes widened.
“We were middle school classmates! Don’t overthink it. I’ll explain when I get back.”
Rosalind quickly left the waiting room because she found it hard to explain her relationship with Ulric and didn’t understand his intentions.
…
Rosalind never thought she would still remember the way to the CEO’s office after leaving W Group for so long. Her steps were hesitant; she didn’t want to face Ulric alone and even considered running away. She had already reached the floor of the CEO’s office but still didn’t want to get off the elevator, contemplating the feasibility of escaping.
“Miss Ruell, you’re here!”
Before she could finish considering, Cedric had already noticed her.
Plan failed.
Rosalind awkwardly smiled and quickly got off the elevator, pulling Cedric aside and lowering her voice. “Did you tell him about me going there after he got drunk?”
“No, I promised you I wouldn’t say anything, and I didn’t.”
“… Then what’s going on with Ulric?”
Forcibly acquiring Eastsun Corporation and directly saying her name in front of everyone-this wasn’t something Ulric would do!
Cedric shrugged, spreading his hands. “I don’t know either! Regarding the acquisition of Eastsun Corporation, Mr. Walters gave only one explanation to the shareholders: he wanted to buy it, so he did. Nothing more.”
Rosalind was bewildered. Could it be that in these four years, instead of becoming more mature and composed, Ulric had become childish and capricious? Honestly, with everything he’d done, Rosalind wondered if Ulric had been possessed by Johnny!
“Miss Ruell, don’t overthink it. Mr. Walters has his reasons for everything he does.”
“But my situation is different! You know my relationship with him. Now that Ulric has a partner by his side, as his ex-wife, I’ll feel very awkward at W Group!” She couldn’t believe Ulric hadn’t considered this!
Cedric’s lips twitched with helplessness. “Then do you think it’s possible… that Mr. Walters doesn’t have a new partner at all?”
“Impossible. He does.” Rosalind had seen the bite marks on Ulric herself.
And not just one or two-there were several!
Those clearly resulted from intimate moments between two people.
“Did Mr. Walters tell you that?”
“No.” She had seen it herself.
“Then rumors are even less reliable!”
Rosalind furrowed her brows; she couldn’t bring up the bite marks!
“In any case, he definitely has someone; they’re even living together! Cedric, help me think of a way to transfer me out of W Group?”
Before Cedric could respond, Ulric’s voice suddenly sounded above her-
“He can’t.”
