My Perfect Marriage Was His Perfect Crime novel Chapter 25

The second time I saw Andrew was three days later at a networking event.

He had come to Sealand at a friend's recommendation, hoping to seek help from the Swan Group.

As I approached the door, I could hear voices inside.

"Andrew, don't worry! Ms. Swan may be young, but she's incredibly capable. She became the head of the Swan Group at such a young age."

"As long as she's willing to step in and handle your business, your company will surely bounce back!"

"It all depends on whether Ms. Swan wants to help you!"

I pushed the door open, and everyone turned to look at me.

Bruno, one of my subordinates from the branch office, smiled and came over. "Ms. Swan, so nice to meet you."

He shot a glance at Andrew, signaling for him to come over and toast to me.

Andrew approached cautiously, holding a glass of wine.

But as soon as he saw me, he froze.

"Caroline?"

His eyes suddenly welled up with tears. "Caroline, what are you doing here? I've been looking for you!"

Bruno's smile widened, and he looked back and forth between Andrew and me.

"I didn't realize Andrew and Ms. Swan were old acquaintances." He then turned to Andrew. "You knew Ms. Swan, such a powerful lady, for a long time, and you didn't tell me sooner?"

Andrew looked taken aback. "Ms. Swan?"

He stared at me in disbelief. "Y-you are Ms. Swan from the Swan Group?"

I ignored him and smiled at Bruno.

"Oh, so you meant Andrew when you said someone wanted to meet me today."

Earlier, I had received an invitation from Bruno saying someone wanted to arrange a meeting with me.

Since Bruno had been around for a while, I decided to honor his request.

I never expected that the person would be Andrew.

Seeing our expressions, Bruno looked puzzled.

"Ms. Swan, do you and Andrew know each other well? You don't seem very familiar."

I looked Andrew up and down and smiled.

"Well, I would say we're acquainted. I'm the ex-wife that Andrew divorced to marry a young, beautiful secretary."
