The door to the CEO's office wasn't closed, leaving a small crack open.

Wisteria stealthily stood outside the door and peered in.

Cayden stood sideways in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. His tall figure exuded an imposing aura of nobility as he overlooked the entire bustling city.

The delicate sunlight cast upon his perfectly contoured face. It was as though ripples on the water were touched by a golden glow.

The faint smile playing on the corners of his lips could shatter the heart of any woman in the world.

Wisteria stared longingly at his figure, wanting to push the door open and rush over. However, her feet seemed to be under a spell, unable to move even an inch.

After a while, she suddenly remembered her makeup. Taking a deep breath, she darted into her office with the speed of a whirlwind.

There was a separate bathroom there.

Wisteria's hands trembled slightly as she took out the makeup bag she always carried with her. She poured out various cosmetics and immediately began to touch up her makeup.

Initially, she had always thought that Cayden liked assertive, sharp, and arrogant women. She never expected his aesthetic values to be traditional. Surprisingly, he was attracted to women like Avery, who

appeared soft and vulnerable and could evoke a desire to protect them.

It turns out that I've made the wrong choice in terms of style from the very beginning.

Now that he's back, does this mean I have a chance to get close to him again?

She swiftly applied her base makeup, then added a soft pink eyeshadow, making her already large eyes appear even bigger and more innocent.

Next, she applied a light blush, making her already well-maintained skin even more delicate and fair.

When she applied peach-colored lipstick, it made her lips look as if they were coated with a layer of enticing jelly, drawing everyone's attention.

In the end, Wisteria shed her rigid suit, replacing it with a light yellow dress she once scoffed at.

Looking at the woman in the mirror—who was originally alluring and arrogant—instantly became innocent and captivating, Wisteria was finally satisfied.

“The man I've been secretly in love with for ten years has returned. I must present myself to him in a completely new light.” Wisteria leaned against the wall, her hand gently stroking her chest as she caught her breath.

I must remain calm and appear before him in a different guise.

Now, I'm the beautiful and gentle Wisteria.

If I had transformed into the image he likes, would his passionate gaze linger on me a bit longer?

The coffee machine in the corner hummed softly, its indicator light transitioning gradually from red to green.

A rich aroma wafted out from the coffee machine.

Usually, it was her female assistant who made coffee for her. But this time, Wisteria decided to do it herself.

She took out a brand-new porcelain cup and poured a cup of coffee, then added some creamer and a small packet of sugar.

Once the coffee was ready, she gathered her courage and walked toward that door.

Wisteria politely knocked on the door. Upon receiving a response from inside, she opened the door and walked in. “Mr. Moore, I heard from them that you were back. So, I specifically came over to check, and I didn't expect you to really be back!”

The calm facade that Wisteria had deliberately maintained earlier completely vanished the moment she saw Cayden.

She was like a fervent fangirl, who had pink bubbles emerging from her eyes and continuously bubbling up from her heart one after another.

At this moment, she felt her cheeks burning, and she was struggling to breathe.

Those eyes that she had deliberately applied makeup on were wide open, so excited that they were almost in tears.

Cayden before her eyes was even more handsome and formidable than he was two years ago. After so much time had passed, his once peerlessly handsome features had become even more cold, deep, dangerous, and captivating, making women scream in fascination.

This is the ideal type of man in my mind.

“Ms. Summers.” Cayden glanced at her, his expression stern.

He looked at her dress with an odd expression.

The woman before me is clearly mature and aloof, yet she is deliberately wearing a dress suited for a younger age. Her shy and coy demeanor is completely different from her usual strict and resolute manner. It's so strange.

Yet, Wisteria felt as if a little deer was rampaging in her heart, leaving her feeling all soft and mushy. “Mr. Moore, this is the coffee I made for you. These past two years when you were away, I really missed...”

Before the word “you” could even be uttered, it was interrupted by Cayden. “Ms. Summers, bring me the company's financial reports from the past two years. I want to review them. Also, notify all shareholders to attend the shareholders meeting promptly at four. Furthermore, arrange a press conference immediately...”

One task after another was assigned cleanly and decisively with a resounding force.

Cayden's domineering attitude left no room for questioning, giving Wisteria no chance to interject.

No one knew what Cayden's next move would be. He was a man as enigmatic as a riddle. The more Wisteria delved into understanding him, the deeper she found herself entangled.

In fact, with Wisteria's strong work capabilities, it was not like there weren't any corporations extending their offers to her.

But she was too embarrassed to voice out her little secret.

She was deeply in love with the man before her, unwilling to part from him.

Even in the two years he was absent, she preferred to guard the empire they had built together, rather than take a single step away.

The more time Wisteria spent with other men, the more she looked down on them. Every time she interacted with another man, she would unconsciously compare him to Cayden.

But the difference between those men and Cayden was as vast as that between a sparrow and a swan, carving out a deep ravine.

There were very few men in this world who were as exceptional as Cayden. However, his tenderness was reserved only for a woman named Avery, which left Wisteria both distressed and annoyed.

Wisteria bit her soft lip and immediately set out to carry out Cayden's orders. Yet, deep within her heart, she was filled with a sense of disappointment and confusion.

I've already dressed in the way he likes. Why didn't he spare a few more glances my way?

Cayden watched as Wisteria left, his finely chiseled face held high. He lit a cigarette and got lost in thought amidst the swirling smoke.

He was a shrewd man. He was not oblivious to Wisteria's special feelings for him, yet he couldn't bring himself to fire her.

Indeed, her work capabilities were exceptional. The profits she brought to the company were immeasurable, far surpassing anyone else.

Secondly, her contributions played a significant role in Trident Group's success. She dedicated the best years of her youth entirely to Trident Group. He couldn't possibly do something like discharging a worthy person when they had served their purpose.

Therefore, he distanced himself from her as much as possible, subtly warning her that he and Avery were living happily, hoping she would step back on her own.

Ms. Summers is a smart woman. She should understand my intention.

News of Cayden's return spread quickly throughout Ackleton.

Robert from JK Media—who was dressed in a well-tailored white suit—lounged lazily in his executive chair.

The man wore a ring with an extraordinarily luxurious blue gemstone on his slender finger. A casual smile played on the corners of his lips, and his entire being exuded an innate air of nobility and gentlemanliness.

The business world's Demon King, Cayden, has returned to Ackleton. It seems that the entire Ackleton is about to undergo a major change again...
