Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Chapter 165

Valeria couldn't help but head towards the direction of the high-level conference room.

However, her immediate task was to complete the work handover with the company's legal department.

Valeria paused once more, contemplating her decision to proceed to the legal department. She found it somewhat absurd and could not help but think, "Why should I care about what my ex-husband's first love looks like? What does it have to do with me?" At this very moment, within the conference room, Hackett sat at the far end of a lengthy conference table, listening to departmental work reports while Nancy stood beside him.

He genuinely had no clue about Nancy's role or what kind of scheme Finn had up his sleeve.

Furthermore, where was this supposed "great show," Finn mentioned? He had not seen anything unusual.

Two hours of meetings later, Hackett rose from his seat in the office. Yet, Nancy remained glued to his side, an irritation akin to a persistent fly.

Hackett retrieved his phone and dialed Finn's number, his impatience palpable. Once the line connected, Hackett said in annoyance, "Is this your idea of a great show? Having a woman follow me around like a pest? Are you out of your mind?" Nancy, trailing behind him, overheard the conversation. She wore a slightly embarrassed expression but continued to follow him closely.

On the other end of the line, Finn sounded nonchalant as he replied, "Don't get so worked up. It's about to unfold. Have you finished your meeting yet? My guess is that Valeria is either waiting for you in your office or will cross paths with you on your way back." "What? Since when did you become a witch?" Hackett scoffed, displaying his disdain. He thought, "Had Finn switched careers to become a witch? Why is he always trying to predict and foresee things?"

However, just around the next corner, Hackett arrived at the elevator and saw Valeria standing there. He was not sure if she was leaving or headed to his office.

"Finn's guess was spot on?" Hackett thought in disbelief.

Finn Hawk continued to ramble over the phone, "Just watch. I have roamed among flowers for so many years; I can't not know a woman's little tricks. Let me tell you..."

Hackett gazed at Valeria's figure and said, "Enough, I've already spotted her." With that, he abruptly ended the call.

At that moment, Valeria was waiting for the elevator. As she looked up, she saw Hackett approaching her.

Unexpectedly, she had initially intended to visit Hackett's office, discuss work matters, and perhaps satisfy her own curiosity about this 'first love.'

Valeria instantly noticed the tall woman standing behind Hackett. Dressed in a professional suit, the skirt accentuated her shapely legs, and her striking features exuded an air of elegance. She certainly did not seem like a mere secretary. Women's intuition told her that this woman must be the so-called 'first love!

As Hackett walked up to her, Valeria met his greeting.
