Lily sat next to Adam wrapped in a blanket, her head resting directly on his shoulder.
Seeing me, she frowned and complained:
“The boss is just overreacting. It’s only a cold, but he won’t let me drink or go to work. If I hadn’t begged him, he wouldn’t even bring me to this business dinner.”
Hearing her say this, Adam fondly tapped her nose.
“I don’t care what you say. Just don’t cry when it’s time to take your medicine.”
The two people before me were clearly a couple in love.
His gentle humor was also a side of him I found unfamiliar.
Clutching the divorce agreement in my hand, felt oddly relieved.
Arriving at the restaurant, Adam exchanged pleasantries with the business partners for a while.
Then he stepped back and began introducing everyone.
“This is Lily, our company’s department manager.”
When introducing me, the partner’s boss frowned slightly.
“I remember clearly, this young lady went to prison for owing money. Boss Adam, you really are loyal to old friends.””
Adam tensed up, glancing at me before laughing it off in agreement.
During the project discussion, Adam and Lily’s seats were pressed close together.
He kept giving me looks, telling me to proactively help block drinks for Lily.
At the table, someone noticed their intimate gestures and couldn’t help teasing:

During the project discussion, Adam and Lily’s seats were pressed close together.
He kept giving me looks, telling me to proactively help block drinks for Lily.
At the table, someone noticed their intimate gestures and couldn’t help teasing:
“Boss Adam and Miss Lily look so well–matched. I wonder if the boss is married?”
As soon as the words fell, Adam looked at me, a flicker of hesitation in his eyes.
The next second, we said in unison:
“No.”
Even though we gave the same answer, he abruptly turned his head to stare at me in shock.
It wasn’t until the partners went to the restroom that he messaged me:
“It’s all just an act, don’t take it to heart.”
Adam said it was acting, but I was telling the truth.
After all, he had already signed the divorce agreement.
I glanced at the message and flipped my phone face down.
Seeing this, Adam was about to get up and come over, but I turned and went to the
restroom.
Coming out of the stall, I ran into Lily.
She stood with her arms crossed, clearly with a victorious attitude.
“Rachel, you’re truly pathetic as a woman. To be so despised by your husband – if it were
me, I definitely wouldn’t have the face to show myself in public.”

me, I definitely wouldn’t have the face to show myself in public.”
I washed my hands nonchalantly, saying coolly:
“That’s not for Miss Lily to worry about.”
Drying my hands, I prepared to leave.
But Lily darted in front of me, looking me up and down.
“How can the boss’s wife still wear such rags?
“Oh I forgot, Adam must have spent all the money buying me haute couture. Sorry about
that.”
The expensive brands she wore seemed to constantly remind me of the differencè between $1 and $1 million.
In an instant, the bitterness that had built up in my heart exploded, and I fled in a panic.
Back in the private room, I picked up my bag to leave.
Adam hurriedly came over to stop me, his tone gentle:
“Don’t go yet, I’ll take you home later.”
I was about to refuse when Lily suddenly burst in crying.
Instantly attracting everyone’s attention.
Adam immediately let go of me and ran over to ask what had happened.
Lily was frantically rummaging through her bag and all her pockets.
Then she cried out in dismay:
“My custom diamond ring is missing!”
