Chapter 23 Back in the Day
Damien walked into the company's lobby with his hands in his pockets. A pretty silhouette entered his line of sight. He was slightly stunned. Madelynn was looking at a painting hung in the lobby named "The Snowy Sky" with her back toward him. Wlien she heard footsteps coming from behind her, she turned hier head. "Damien? Long time no see." Madelynn approached Damien with a smile.
She wore an elegant and extravagant dark green dress with high heels of the same color. Part of her sair calves was revealed. They could easily make men's imaginations run wild. Her curly hair was lustrous and charming. Additionally, she had a classy emerald ring on her finger, Overall, she looked like a mature, noble, and seductive woman.
Since there were quite a lot of people around them, Damien said to Madelynn, "It's been a while. Come to my office."
"Okay."
Madelynn grinned. She followed Damien into the elevator.
A few female receptionists that had seen Madelynn's graceful figure could not help but whisper to each other.
"Miss York is so beautiful. Celebrities are truly different from repular citizens."
"Yeah, she also has a different stalus from us. Other than her, when has our president ever allowed a woman into his office?"
A reception supervisor said while smiling from ear to ear, "None of you know about this, right? Miss York isn't any ordinary person. I heard that she's President Lawrence's ex girlfriend. They almost got engaged. But afterward..."
"What happened?"
"I'm not telling. We can't gossip about our boss. Just know that Miss York is special and treat her nicely." "What about Clarissa? I heard that she's gotten very close to the president."
Women were really thorough when they gossiped.
"Her? She's not even worthy. She's gotten haughty just because President Lawerence had given a couple of rides. There's no way he would fancy her."
"That's right."
The female receptionists chuckled.
Damien's office was considerably huge. It was decorated in cool tones, matched with black and white. It complemented his aura.
Damien lit a cigarette and satel, "You'vo come back." "You didn't even come to pick me up." Madelynn pouted playfully.
"I had to attend to various company matters."
Madelynn continued to speak with lier red lips, "That's why I came to look for you. I even brought you a present. Open and see if you like it." Damien took a glance at it. Then, he placed the fancy package on his table. "Thank you."
"You didn't even take a look."
Madelynn seigned anger coquettishly. "This is the Aeye gist box I specially brought back from overseas. It's good for your eyes. Try it out."
After saying that, Madelynn stepped forward and opened the gift box in Damien's stead. She put on the eye mask over his eyes.
It felt warm and moist. At the mention of his eyes, Damien's attitude softened slightly. "My eyes have already recovered. You don't have to worry about them." "How could I not worry? Back then, you almost went blind. Just watching made my heart ache. You had to wait so long for a cornea."
Madelynn sat on the sofa. Her eves were red.
"At that time, you just established your business. Yet, you went through such a huge shock It must be fate that my dad handed me over to you. He passed away and you've recovered." Upon hearing that, Damien took off the eye mask. He walked toward Madelynn and patted her back
"Why are you talking about the past?" Madelynn took the opportunity to grab Damien's hand. "Damien, I was wrong back then. I'm sorry. I came back to apologize in person."
As she spoke, she softly shook Damien's hand.
Damien instinctively rejected her and broke free.
"The past is in the past. Don't talk about it anymore. I'm doing fine now." Madelynn stared at Damien with pitiful eyes.
"Damien..."
Her teary expression was beautiful.
However, Damien interrupted her.
"Where are you staying? I'll give you a ride back home."
Madelynn could only wipe her tears. She glanced at the clock on the wall.

"I'd appreciate that. Recently, paparazzi have been following me in secret." Madelynn stayed in Damien's office until live in the evening. It was the time employees got off work. Damien took that into consideration. He let Madelynn use the president's private elevator.

Not long after, news that Damien's ex-girlfriend, Madelynn York, had visited the company had spread among all employees,
