Chapter 99 Return Of Ex-wife

• Joanna had just stepped into the elevator. Before the elevator door closed, someone had already pressed the button to open the door. The elevator door slowly opened again. Bruce walked in with a cold expression. He was not wearing a suit today. Instead, he wore a knee–length overcoat with a black shirt underneath. His hair was still meticulously combed on top of his head, with a few irregular strands loosely hanging at the ends. He exuded a strong presence with a hint of wickedness. He was incredibly handsome! However, when Joanna saw him, she felt a sudden intense feeling of anxiety. She involuntarily pressed herself against the clevator wall. Seeing her frightened reaction, Bruce did not show any anger. Instead, he had a calm expression, and he did not ask her why she had snuck out yesterday. Joanna’s heart was beating rapidly. She clenched her fists, ready to defend herself at any moment.
• Fortunately, Bruce did not make things difficult for her. He ignored her presence as if she was invisible. As the elevator slowly ascended, Joanna felt extremely anxious. The atmosphere was tense, as if time was passing at a snail’s pace. One minute later, the elevator arrived at the office floor and the elevator door slowly opened. Bruce did not even look at Joanna. He walked out of the elevator first. Then, he walked straight to the conference room. The Haynes Group held a meeting every morning at nine. At nine o’clock, the high–level executives would gather in the conference room. They would report yesterday’s work to their superiors and convey today’s instructions. Bruce walked past everyone. The high–level executives, who were chatting and laughing, instantly fell silent when they saw Bruce. “Hi, Mr. Everett!” the employees greeted him one after another. Bruce just nodded slightly and entered the conference room.
• When Joanna saw this, she became even more terrified. For a long while, she remained hesitant and did not dare to go into the conference room. “Wow, Mr. Everett is here at the office again today!” “That’s right! It’s scary. Will he do that to Miss Haynes again today…” “Shh, shh, stop talking! It’s almost time for the meeting. Let’s go in quickly!” “Oh my, I’m so nervous!” Two high–level executives adjusted their expressions and walked into the conference room with a serious and restrained demeanor. In the conference room, several high–level executives had already arrived early. All of them looked cautious and careful, afraid of making any mistakes. Ten minutes later, Joanna still had not entered the conference room. Several high–level executives were afraid that Joanna would be late and anger Bruce. They could not help but mutter softly, “Why hasn’t Miss Haynes come yet?” “She’s not coming to work today, right?”
