Billionaire, Let's Divorce (Mark and Sydney)

Chapter 0249

The managing director took his soot and the boardroom grew quiet as Alden stood up to address us.

"As the managing director has informed you all, I am the new owner of Taste Tech innovations. I apologise for the spontaneity of the whole situation, we had little time to send in any notice..."

I glared at him as he spewed his long speech about the new vision of the company and the new things Taste Tech would achieve and be known for.

He paused for a moment as he held everyone's gaze with a stiff smile. "I look forward to working with you all as we take Taste Tech to greater heights."

He lowered himself back in his seat and the whole room was filled with the sound of our exaggerated applause once again.

The managing director stood up again, this time with a large smile. Now that you have met the new chief executive officer, I'll round every thing up with the pleasing announcement that there will be a party to celebrate the start of Mr Aiden's tenure and also to, you know, ease some of the tension you must have had to go through during the past few days. So every of the company's staff highly welcomed to attend the party."

There was another round of applause and genuine smiles on the faces of the employees. Even I secretly heaved a sigh of relief. This meeting and party announcement meant that there was no more laying off employees.

After the announcement for the party, the meeting came to and we all dispersed to our various offices

positive vibes. Everyone chatted amongst themselves with full blown smiles on their faces.

"Everything aside," one of the female employers whispered before she gasped dramatically, "the boss is drop dead gorgeous!"

"I wonder if he's seeing someone."

"He's definitely seeing someone," another said. "Someone that hot would never be single."

"Nah," Another girl chimed as she sidled up to them. "He's a player but he probably does only celebs."

And that was it. With a roll of my eyes, I hastened my steps and walked past them.

Few minutes later, Rachel, who had seemed very passionate about her job just an hour ago, was chatting with another of the female. employees about Aiden. Again. Ugh.

"I haven't seen him around here before," Rachel commented.

"A man that gorgeous definitely won't be from around here, he must. reside in heaven," the girl giggled then they turned to me.

"What about you, Ana, have you seen him around here?"

I looked up, caught off guard. "What?"

"Have seen Mr Aiden around before?"

What? Why? Why were they asking me that question? I panicked but replied cooly, "Trust me I'm seeing the guy for the first time just as

you guys,"

They scooted closer, sighing, "He's so good looking, isn't he?"

I forced a smile, "Oh, he is."

"Well, you didn't say anything about it," Rachel said, watching me carefully.

"Well, I'm just still relieved from the fact that we still have our jobs. besides he's our boss. I'm not about to give myself false hopes." They giggled, "It doesn't hurt to dream, does it?"

I let out a fake giggles then I excused myself. "I need to use the rest.

"Ohh," they teased, "She's definitely going to take a peek of the

boss."

I rolled my eyes and let out a silent hiss once my back was to them.

Thankfully, there was no one in the restroom. I stood before the mirror and just stared at myself for a long while. Then I blew out my cheeks.

"Tame it down, Ana. You don't have to be angry or hurt or..." I stammered, "or whatever!"

I sternly held my gaze in the mirror. "You've been doing great all this while and you will continue to live your fantastic life no matter who comes back from their helll hole or goes back."

I smiled, tipped my chin and pushed out my chest. "You're fine, Anastasia. Aiden isn't gonna hinder your job or disrupt your life."

With that, I turned around and strutted out of the restroom, high from my super effective pep talk.

I came crumbling from my high when I abruptly slammed my face into something. I let out a wince and looked up to see a huge box.

being pulled through the hallway. My eyes suddenly widened when I saw that they hadn't even realized that they had hit me and the huge. box was still being rolled down the narrow hallway. I was stuck. The restroom I just left had been blocked by them.

Just as I thought of a plan, definitely to scream for them to stop when I was abruptly pulled aside and I went crashing into someone's chest. Their hands rested on the small of my back just as I inhaled the familiar cologne.
