My Ex-Wife Is A Big Shot In Disguise by Lindsay Lewis

There was a photo on the phone. It was the scene of the conversation between John and Madison not long ago.

Mary secretly took a lot of photos and shared them with Serena. Mary also kept scrolling through the photos. "Serena, | heard that

you've been with Mr. Daves for seven years. Do you know who she is? What's her relationship with Mr. Daves?"

The angle of the photos was also ingenious. The camera was aimed at their profiles.

John was in the suit and was raising his hand to pat the woman's head. There was a gentle smile on his face and a doting look in

his eyes that could not be ignored.

Anyone who saw them could not help but sigh. It was really like a heart-stirring scene in a romance film.

Even Serena could not help but stare at these photos in a daze. They were a match made in heaven.

Someone else chimed in, "Speaking of which, the woman looks so familiar. | keep feeling that she looks like sfemale celebrity.

Have | seen her online before?" Because of Mary, the other employees of the CEO's station were also attracted.

Sof them were even holding the hot dog they had gotten from Madison. They were chewing on the food while they chatted

next to Serena's desk.

Mary nodded. "Now that you mention it, | seem to have an impression of her..." Her eyes suddenly widened as she pointed at

Madison's side profile and exclaimed, "| remember now. She seems to be the younger sister of the Best Actor, Adonis! Did you guys

see the news of the car accident today? The one of the former celebrity running down pedestrians? | heard that that celebrity

ruined this woman's marriage."

"What? Really?" one of them gasped.

Another commented, "So, the CEO is saving the damsel in distress by courting the ex-wife of the CEO of Palmer Group? But no

matter what, she's already remarried. | feel that she's not worthy of our CEO."

A third piped up, "How is she not worthy? Look at her temperament and looks. Moreover, she can marry into the Palmer family.

She's also the sister of the Best Actor, Adonis. Her background must be extraordinary. How is she not worthy of Mr. Daves? Mr.

Daves even has a child. He's already so old! Besides, look at Mr. Daves's gaze. It's not our place to worry about it."

The group of people were chattering about John's marriage, but Serena felt a headache coming on.

Serena finally couldn't take it anymore and suddenly interrupted their gossip coldly, "Are you too free after finishing your work, or

are your superiors being too lax? Aren't you afraid of being caught by Mr. Daves when you openly discuss about him in the office?"

Everyone instantly fell silent.

Although their immediate superior was not Serena, she was still the most experienced person in the CEO's station. Moreover, she

had been by John's side for many years, so everyone still respected her.

No one dared to gossip anymore. Everyone returned to their workstations and started typing on the keyboard. Since they couldn't

chat face-to-face, they decided to build a chat group.

Serena was also pulled into the group.

It was not Serena's main account. It was another account that she usually used to transfer documents and memos to her office.

There were sometimes ssocial events in the other departments that included the CEO's station. Her good friend and

marketing manager had told her not to be too serious in private. Otherwise, even if the events were organized, it would make the

people under Serena unable to have fun. It would even feel formal.

Serena did not expect these people to not know that she was the owner of the account, nor did she expect these young ladies to

be so gossipy and curious.

Just as she was about to turn on the phone to "Do Not Disturb" and close the chat box, Serena's hand suddenly paused.

A message read, [Fuck! Why is she so arrogant? She's just an assistant. She is always hanging in front of Mr. Daves, and Mr. Daves

pays her no mind. The atmosphere in our office is so good. It's not like we only chat and don't do anything. Why is she so fierce?]

Probably because they were gossiping, the group chat turned on anonymity. No one knew who had sent it.

However, there was no doubt that the person being ridiculed was Serena.

People were always curious about what they said about themselves, even Serena was no exception.

Hence, she did not close. Instead, she quietly watched what they would talk about next.

A second message came. [What's the use of her having a crush for so many years? Mr. Daves only treated her like an employee.

Look at her. She works overtevery day until she has wrinkles. Yet she stuck close to Mr. Daves's side. How pitiful.]

It went on.

Serena looked at the messages in the group chat and pursed her lips silently.

Serena touched her face. It had been seven years. She had been with John for seven years.

From the age when Serena had just graduated and didn't know anything, she was now called a serious teacher. It was as if her

youth had never existed. Was she already starting to have wrinkles?

Serena's heart seemed to ache. She couldn't read the various messages in the group chat anymore and closed the chat group. She

tried to clear her mind with work, but her mind was still blank.

Serena kept seeing the image of John touching Madison's head lovingly, along with what John had said to her.

Serena didn't deserve to be a mother. John would never marry such a woman.

The suppressed emotions grew into a huge wave, weighing down on Serena until she could not breathe.

Serena did not want to stay in the office any longer. She took a glass of water and walked toward the lounge.

John's lounge was in a separate area. As his assistant, Serena could also use them and did not have to share a lounge with the

other employees.

Serena made a cup of coffee according to John's taste. Unlike her preference, she did not add any extra milk or sugar. She only sat

down on the couch with the cup of black coffee.

Serena didn't want to return to her desk at this moment.

Just as they had discussed in the group, she had worked hard for John for the past seven years. Other than work, Serena was too

busy to care about herself. Why?

Wasn't it good to chat idly after completing what they were doing, or just daydream? Perhaps it was tfor Serena to think about

herself.

Serena held the steaming coffee and took a sip. The bitterness spread in her mouth, making her frown uncontrollably.

Even so, Serena still took another sip from the cup. She had suffered so much in life. Why would she be afraid of a bitter drink?

However, a serious voice sounded in her ears. "If you don't like it, why do you still drink it? If you find it bitter, you can add sugar."
