From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent

Chapter 487

Nanson carefully considered his words before asking, “Has he ever been in a relationship?"

Lacy shook her head. "No, Mr. Christensen is a staunch bachelor. He's never dated anyone, nor has he had any inappropriate relationships. Even his assistants and secretaries are all men."

A bachelor by choice?

Nanson raised an eyebrow.

Would Sherman really act this way if he didn't plan to get married?

It was obvious that he was doing this out of respect for Anthea.

Nanson knew this as clearly as if it were written on a page. He looked up at Lacy. "Are you sure he's committed to not marrying?"

Lacy nodded with certainty. "Absolutely! I've been with Mr. Christensen for almost

a decade, and during that time, he's never had any intimate contact with a woman."

Lacy was Sherman's personal assistant.

So, the rumors swirling around the Christensen Group about a supposed Mrs. Christensen were news to him.

Nanson chuckled, patting Lacy's shoulder. "Do you think that maybe Mr. Christensen is about to change his mind?"

Lacy shook his head.

He really didn't believe it.

If Sherman were going to change his mind, he would have done so long ago.

Why wait until now?
