After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 1137

It sounded so much like Jolie!

The thought stunned Rosalie.

Jolie had a boyfriend, and she got sent abroad because of him. How could she possibly be in contact with Gavin, let alone on a video call with him?

Still, an uneasy suspicion gnawed at Rosalie. If she could just take one glance at the woman in Gavin’s video call, she could put her mind at ease.

Gathering her courage, Rosalie lifted her head and looked in Gavin’s direction, her gaze fixed on his phone.

The next second, a figure stepped in front of her—Gavin’s assistant. With a cold stare, he blocked her view.

Startled, Rosalie’s face turned pale.

By now, Gavin had already entered his office.

The assistant looked at Rosalie, his voice icy. “What are you trying to do?”

“I-I…” Rosalie hadn’t expected to be caught so quickly. Her heart leapt into her throat as she scrambled for an excuse. “I just wanted to check if Mr. Cooper needed anything.”

“That’s not your job,” the assistant replied firmly. “You may be the CEO’s secretary, but I’m your direct supervisor. All of your tasks go through me, and I won’t tolerate any inappropriate thoughts from my team. Do you understand?”

He’d reprimanded her openly, right in front of everyone!

Rosalie could feel the weight of the stares around her—some disdainful, some mocking. Her humiliation was unbearable.

“I understand,” she muttered, her head bowed in shame and anger.

The assistant didn’t say anything more and walked away to resume his work.

Rosalie returned to her desk, her eyes filled with determination. She had to find out who that woman was in Gavin’s video call. Only then could she prepare herself.

…

Jolie lounged lazily on the couch, hugging a plush bunny. She absentmindedly played with its ears while watching the man on her screen. His handsome, composed, and mature features seemed more pleasing to the eye than before.
