The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge novel Chapter 536

He didn’t have time to dwell on Gwyneth’s words any longer. Honestly, it was odd—why should he care what a young woman like her thought, anyway?

So what if he was getting older? Sure, he’d been called out by a girl for it, but his peers never seemed to think he was past his prime.

Why let it get under his skin?

“Understood, sir.”

Hans lingered for a moment longer until Hawthorne looked up at him.

“Is there something else you’re waiting for?”

Hans blinked, a little bewildered.

Suddenly, it clicked.

He got it now—Miss Yvette’s jealousy hadn’t been for nothing.

Mr. Everhart was genuinely interested in this new girl who’d just joined the company. Why else would he suddenly ask if he was getting old?

“Thank you. Did you need something?”

Gwyneth wasn’t afraid of much, but the thought of Hans asking her to see Hawthorne definitely made her uneasy.
