The CEO Gets What He Wants

Chapter 549 Impatience

Over at Trident Group, Avery was having a great day.

Her life had been wonderful lately. Both her work and personal life had been going perfectly.

She and Cayden discussed and agreed that they would go to City Hall to register their marriage by the end of the month.

The thought of officially becoming Cayden's wife made Avery feel like she was on cloud nine.

Although she was ostensibly participating in the weekly meeting of the design department, her mind wandered off as she imagined Cayden and herself at City Hall signing their marriage certificate.

“Ms. Rumpley...” Wisteria's cold voice echoed around the conference room, rudely piercing through her daydream.

Wisteria glared at Avery in displeasure. It was obvious to her that Avery was thinking of something completely unrelated to work. A look of dissatisfaction and disgust crossed her face briefly.

Nina pinched Avery's thigh to get her attention.

The latter immediately snapped back to her senses.

All the faces along the long conference table were turned toward her, staring unblinkingly. Even Cayden, who was seated at the head of the table, was watching her.

Avery tucked her hair behind her ears self-consciously and straightened in her seat. “Ms. Summers, please carry on.”

Avery sneaked a glance at Cayden. He was sitting perfectly upright and wore a rather stern expression. In public, he seemed cool and detached. It was the complete opposite of the passionate man that he was in bed. It was as if he was two different people.

Cayden did not really need to show up at the design department's weekly meetings. However, since it was the end of the month and the reports of the progress of the joint venture between Trident Group and Vivi Group and various other branches needed to be reported, coupled with Cayden's famously enigmatic personality, it was no surprise that he was suddenly present at the meeting.

All the employees of Trident Group were aware of the intimate relationship between their boss and Avery. Although they had never outwardly spoken their mind, all her colleagues looked at Avery with cynical eyes, especially her female colleagues, who were undoubtedly envious of her position.

At the same time, the employees all secretly mocked Wisteria, who had once thought that she would become Cayden's wife.
