Finding Out The Billionaire

Chapter 74 Mentally Cheating

The first thing she saw was the back of a tall and slightly skinny man. He was standing in front of the French windows, and he seemed like he was watching the scenery below. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

He had a good figure, and although she could not see his face, she sensed that the chairman should be a young man.

For a split moment, she inexplicably found the silhouette of the man familiar.

If not for the expensive suit and bespoke shoes he was wearing, she would have thought that this man was Alex.

“Chairman…” Heather carefully called out.

“Yes,” Alex answered in a hoarse voice.

“I’m Heather Jennings. I’m here to thank you for standing up for me twice…”

Heather hesitated before continuing, “I don’t know how to express my gratitude. If you’re alright with it, please let me buy you a meal…”

She then stared at the man’s back, waiting for a reply.

He’ll say yes to this if he’s interested in me, right?

After all, it’s a chance for him to spend time alone with me.

“You’re inviting an unfamiliar man to a meal like this? Aren’t you afraid that your husband will feel jealous?” Alex asked with a deliberately rough voice.

Heather froze. Does the chairman not like the fact that I have a husband?

Without wasting a second, she replied, “I don’t think you know about this, but we’re not on good terms. We can’t go back in time anymore. It’s just a matter of time before we divorce.”

More importantly, I don’t love him anymore.

Creak.

Alex shuddered as the hands in front of his face clenched into fists.

For a moment, he did not know if he was angry or upset.

He only knew that his chest was tight, and breathing felt like a chore.

When Heather saw the man trembling, she asked in confusion, “Chairman, what’s wrong?”

After taking in a deep breath, Alex muttered, “Nothing. I’ve not been feeling well these two days.”

“Oh. Why don’t I accompany you to see a doctor? You must be tired, having to be in charge of such a large company. Remember to rest well at night. You shouldn’t stay up too late,” Heather muttered in concern.

A mocking smile crept on Alex’s face. It was as if someone had brought a knife down on the softest parts of his heart.

This was his beloved wife. She had never expressed her concern for him, but now, she was worried about a complete stranger.

“Ms. Jennings, you’re awfully concerned about. Aren’t you afraid that your husband will get angry?” Alex mocked.

Heather’s heart skipped a beat. She did not know why the man had said those words.

“Chairman, I’ll be divorcing him soon. Furthermore, he’s just a useless man. He won’t care about me,” Heather explained.

A useless man?

I won’t care about you?

He huffed out a laugh. The eyes that reflected in the windows were full of mockery and self- deprecation.

After inhaling a deep breath, Alex answered, “Go home. I’ve only extended my help twice because of momentary interest. I just couldn’t stand watching the Wallace and Jennings family continue with what they were doing. Don’t think too much about this.”

“Chairman, I…”

After mustering up her courage, Heather inquired, “Can I see your face?”

Alex scoffed in his heart, My dear wife. She hasn’t physically cheated on me yet, but she has already done so mentally.

Despite that she was cheating on him with himself, he found the whole situation sardonic.

He took another deep breath before he turned around.

Heather shuddered then froze.
