Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts novel Chapter 49

Ines had just arrived at the elevator when she saw Kelly and a few colleagues looking at her curiously. "Ines, is that your boyfriend dropping you off at work?"

The car window wasn't fully open, so Kelly only saw the car but not Ethan's face.

"Not boyfriend, husband," Ines replied with a smile, feeling there was no need to hide such a thing. Sometimes hiding things could cause unnecessary suspicion.

Some people looked surprised, while a few men seemed slightly disappointed.

"Ines, you're so young to be married already."

"I'm not that young. I'm 27." Ines said.

"Oh my gosh, you don't look 27 at all."

Just then, someone said, "Good morning, Ms. Young." Ines noticed Amelia had joined them, also greeted her with the other colleagues. Amelia just nodded coldly; she always had this aloof expression, making her hard to approach. Her presence made the elevator atmosphere a bit awkward.

Today, Ines still went to various banks for confirmations. When she returned to the office, her colleagues were about to leave. They showed sympathy when they learned she would be working overtime, but Ines didn't mind. The work wasn't difficult for her, just a bit tedious. She completed the analysis report in half an hour, checked it, and printed a copy and put it in the drawer to give to Amelia Young tomorrow morning. Then, she shut down her computer and prepared to leave.

As she passed Amelia's office, she saw her still working. Amelia seemed to notice Ines and suddenly called her in, "Ines, come to my office for a moment."

Ines entered Amelia's office, and Amelia stopped her work to calmly ask, "Have you finished the tasks I assigned to you?"

"Yes, I have. I'll give them to you now." Ines said.

Ines handed the report to Amelia, who briefly skimmed it and then said, "Alright, you can leave now."

Ines nodded with confidence, knowing this kind of thing wouldn't be difficult for her.

As she turned to leave, Amelia asked, "I heard you had several years of experience in B City and even became a project manager. Why did you choose to resign and come to a smaller-scale company like EM?"

"My husband is from A City. After we got married, I moved here with him." Ines said.

Amelia smiled, but Ines sensed infinite bitterness in it. All she said was, "It's best for a woman not to pin all her hopes on a man."

Ines felt puzzled, but thanked Ms. Young.

As soon as Ines left the building, she saw a Lamborghini parked in the small square across the street, very eye-catching.

A man strode towards her, and Ines frowned, wondering why Aiden was waiting here.

"Izzy, let's talk." He said.
