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

"What kind of deal did Miss Powell offer you?" Maria asked leisurely.

Sidney froze, surprise flashing in his eyes as he looked at her.

"Don't look so shocked," Maria said, flipping her hair with a casual grin. "I've got some connections in Cloudflare City now. The circle isn't that big. I hear things when something stirs." Though his initial surprise faded, Sidney's expression remained cold. "That's none of your business."
