Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Chapter 166 80%

Hackett Found Nancy standing nearby to be quite an eyesore. He was engrossed in a conversation with Valeria. Couldn't this woman be more perceptive?

He had no clue where Finn had discovered this actress; she was atterly unqualified.

He cast a brief glance at Nancy and said, "It's alright, you can leave. I need to discuss work with Ms. Sharp"

"Understood. Mr. James," Nancy responded, though she didn't seem eager to depart. She appeared reluctant to leave Valeria and Hackett alone. But since he had spoken, she turned and left with reluctance. Valeria, naturally, noticed the reluctance in Nancy's eyes,

She regarded the man seated across the office desk and remarked. "Your first love appears to be rather displeased."

Hackett frowned, expressing his displeasure. "It seems you're insinuating something"

He pondered. "Is she jealous?

"It certainly appears that way, at least from my perspective."

Valeria responded, "You've appointed your first love as your secretary. Do you truly have no ulterior motives? just to clarify, I'm not jealous, and I'm not meddling. I'm curious. Are you attempting to rekindle your old flame with your first love?" She was genuinely intrigued by Hackett's intentions. Did this man always dwell in the past?

Did he believe that the grass was always greener on the other side?

Otherwise, why would he persist in thinking about reconciliation? If it wasn't with her, he was now showing signs of reconciliation with his first love.

Hackett heard her words, and a faint smile graced his lips.

It appeared he had taken the bait; evidently, she still cared.

Maintaining an air of nonchalance, he replied in a deep voice, This doesn't concern you. Besides, you're no longer a part of my life. I'm not obligated to report my intentions to you."

Valeria was momentarily left speechless,

It did seem that way. She didn't even have the right to inquire why Hackett had retained his first love as his secretary. She let out a self-deprecating chuckle and responded, "You're right; I have no right to inquire. By the way, the copyright infringement case is nearing its court date. Do you have any instructions for me! If not, I'll proceed with my own approach"

She quickly redirected the conversation back to work, not wanting to embarrass herself further
