Chapter 102
I was momentarily stunned.
I almost forgot about this matter.
Grandpa had passed away, and Ryan, as the head of the Frost family, naturally had to move In.
I freed myself from his grasp and compromised. âForget it then.â
Later that evening, the servants prepared dinner, and Albert came to call us downstairs to eat.
The vast old mansion seemed to be functioning in an orderly manner as usual.
However, everyoneâs expressions were somewhat solemn.
After dinner, I returned to my room to wash up and fell into a deep slumber.
For two whole days, I had hardly closed my eyes. I was tired but couldnât sleep.
Now that everything had settled down, I slept particularly soundly, waking naturally only the next morning.
Ryan was no longer there.
These days, the company had been extremely busy, with rival companies trying to take advantage of this time to strike.
When I arrived at work, I received many strange looks along the way.
Although Ryan had promised not to have any more contact with Jessica, te people in the company were unaware. They were still fixated on the fact that Jessica had become the CEOâs secretary.
Their gazes at me were like they were looking at a mistress.
Fortunately, with a clear conscience, I didnât dwell on it. I returned to my office and immersed myself in work.
With inspiration for MSâs design draft, progress came naturally, and by the end of the day, I had a preliminary outline.
In the evening, Jane invited me to have dinner together. I was in the mood to relax, so I agreed immediately.
Leaving the office, I saw Nancy was still there. I smiled. âStill not off work?â
She was originally playing with her phone, startled by me, she quickly placed her phone face down on the desk, a bit flustered. âCharlotte, Iâm about to get off work.â

âOkay then, bye.â
Out of habit, I locked the office door and walked away.
Jane was waiting for me at a pizza store in the shopping center. When she saw me enter, she
waved.
She looked me up and down. âYouâve lost quite a bit of weight in just two days.
âI think youâre exaggerating.â Helplessly, I smiled and reached out to her. âShow me the gossip. WhatsApp group from the company.â
âWhy?â
âI want to see how theyâre criticizing me.â
âYou canât see it anymore.â
Jane opened the menu and began to order.
âWhy not?â
âI disbanded the group.
I was puzzled. âYou were the group creator?â
No wonder last time when I told her not to get involved in criticizing Jessica, she seemed so
guilty.
Turned out she wasnât just participating, she was the person in charge.
Jane rubbed her nose. âWell, youâre not allowed to have a go at me.â
âWhy would I have a go at you?â I poured a cup of tea. âRyan doesnât have time for that now, and he promised me he wonât have any more dealings with Jessica.â
She perked up, incredulous. âReally? Youâre not getting divorced?â
âReally, but I donât know if he can keep his word.
I was almost unaffected emotionally, lifting the hot tea. âIf he can, we probably wonât get a
divorce.â
Jane was surprised. âHave you made up your mind?â
âYeah.â
This way, Grandpa could rest in peace. As for deeper matters, I had no intention of delving into them myself.
I only wanted to take one step at a time.

Seeing that I had made up my mind, Jane didnât say anything more.
After ordering the food, she habitually checked her phone, suddenly looked up with a teasing wink. âThat day, did you go to the concert with Jack?â
âHow did you know?â I was surprised.
She placed her phone in front of me. âSomeone posted it on the company forum. Everyoneâs been criticizing you these days because of Jessica. Someone uploaded two photos to defend you, saying you have a boyfriend who is handsome and tall, and couldnât possibly interfere in someone elseâs marriage.â
