After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back by Riverflow

"I had to take care of some personal matters," Maria replied as she walked in, giving Sidney a playful glance before winking at Aveline. "Did you miss me?"

Aveline, a bit exasperated by Maria's antics, pushed her hand away. "Actually, there are a lot of files that need your attention. Get to work and don't delay the progress of our studio."

Maria sighed dramatically. "Workaholic!"

If she'd known it would be like this, she wouldn't have come back so early!

However, she couldn't say too much about what she'd been up to. If Aveline found out, she might get angry. Things between the boss and Aveline seemed to be easing up, and the last thing Maria wanted was to mess it up now and become the eternal villain in their story. "Fine, I'll get to work. But feel free to slack off," Maria said with a slight smile before heading to the office.

As she passed Sidney, she gave him a meaningful look.

Sidney frowned but ignored her.

"Yes, I did," Aveline replied.

Lucas chuckled softly. "Did my appearance charm you?"
