Leaving While Pregnant:He Goes Crazy! -
Chapter 552 The President's Wife
"What's wrong?"
Seeing her seemingly lost in thought, Adrian asked again.
Eva then voiced the thoughts that were on her mind.
After listening, Adrian fell silent for a long while. One of the things he had been really worried about since she lost her memory was this very issue. If she didn't remember, then once she started asking about her parents, the pain and insecurity she had suffered before would have to be endured all over again.
Was it because he mentioned his father?
"Why aren't you speaking?" Seeing him silent, Eva grew curious. "Is it difficult to talk about?"
Adrian came back to his senses once he heard this. He reached out and gently rubbed the back of her head, softly saying, "No, I was just thinking that maybe we can talk about this after you finish work. We've been standing at the company's entrance for quite a while now. Don't you want to go inside and take a look? Perhaps being inside will be more helpful for the recovery of your memory."
Adrian's point made a lot of sense, so Eva was easily diverted from her inquiry.
"Okay, let's go inside and have a look."
If she could remember anything on her own, then naturally she wouldn't need to ask anyone else.
After saying this, Eva stepped forward and walked inside.
The receptionist at the company's front desk, upon seeing someone enter, instinctively started to greet them but choked on her words when she saw who it was; she was incredulous for a moment before finally reacting. "Ms. Hansen?"
"Ms. Hansen has finally come back," the receptionist exclaimed excitedly to those inside.
This caused the employees who were originally working inside to come running out in an instant.
"Ms. Hansen? Where is Ms. Hansen?"
"Ms. Hansen is back?"
"Which one is Ms. Hansen?"
During Eva's absence, Tim and the people sent by the Blackwood family business had been diligently managing the company.
Even without Eva, the company was running smoothly. However, the new hires knew their boss was Ms. Hansen but had ever seen her. Luckily, Tim never missed a chance to praise her, lauding not just her beauty but also her competence, painting her as an excellent boss.
So even though they had never met Eva, they had heard nothing but good things about her and were filled with anticipation.
As soon as the receptionist announced her return, they swarmed out like bees from a hive.
Eva stood there, bewildered by the crowd.
All eyes were on her, filled with recognition, inquiry, curiosity, and a variety of other expressions.
Many were shocked by Eva's beauty, as they had only half-believed Tim when he said their boss was both smart and beautiful.
In their minds, there were no ugly women in the world, only lazy ones. Any woman could look good with the right effort and money.
But upon seeing Eva in person, they realized Tim wasn't just praising her; he was stating facts.
Her elegance and beauty weren't something that could be bought with money.
No wonder Tim couldn't stop talking about her; with such looks, she could hold her own in the entertainment industry, rivaling every female celebrity. And then there was the man beside her, tall and handsome.
Together, they looked like a match made in heaven.
Some recognized Adrian and whispered his identity.
The crowd was abuzz.
"Adrian Blackwood? You don't mean the Adrian Blackwood of the Blackwood family business, do you?"
"Although it feels surreal, that is the Adrian Blackwood of the Blackwood family business."
"Why would Adrian Blackwood of the Blackwood family business be here?"
"Are you dumb? Our company has secured an investment from the Blackwood family business."
"But even if we did secure the investment, Mr. Blackwood himself shouldn't be appearing here, right? Is that reasonable?"
The crowd fell silent...
It seemed truly unreasonable. After all, to the Blackwood family business, their company was too small to notice, so the reason for this man's presence here... Their gaze inevitably fell back on Eva.
It wasn't their fault for thinking this way; after all, she was beautiful, and Adrian was a man.
In most people's eyes, men were attracted to beautiful women, especially those with power and status.
Adrian, whether to play along with their thoughts or to announce their marital status, embraced the person beside him in the midst of the gossiping crowd.
"It seems everyone is curious about what relationship I have with her."
Before Eva could even react, her waist was tightly encircled by Adrian's arm, and her head was resting against his chest.
Then she felt the vibration from Adrian's chest as he spoke.
"We are married."
The crowd erupted at his declaration.
Everyone was still speculating, but unexpectedly, Adrian quickly acknowledged their relationship, and what was more shocking... they were actually husband and wife.
And Adrian? After dropping this bombshell, he wrapped his arm around Eva and vanished from the spot, leaving everyone else abuzz with various comments.
"Our company's boss and Mr. Blackwood are actually husband and wife. Does that mean our boss is the wife of the Blackwood family business' president??"
"Oh my, to put it a step further, does that mean we're essentially working at a subsidiary of the Blackwood family business?"
Previously, because of the investment from the Blackwood family business, everyone was willing to work at this company. A company that the Blackwood family business was optimistic about and willing to invest in surely had great development prospects, so everyone came here for an interview.
Their friends who knew they were coming here for a legitimate company interview were somewhat sarcastically teasing them.
"It's just a small company favored by the Blackwood family business, and you guys are scrambling over it. One would think it's a subsidiary of the Blackwood family business without knowing any better."
"Going to this kind of small workshop company is just as good as replaceing any random one abroad."
"Exactly."
When they first heard these sour words, everyone felt uncomfortable, but now they felt extremely vindicated.
It could be described as a feeling of exhilarating triumph.
What could they say when they next met their friends?
"Hey, didn't you say this was just a small workshop company? But the boss is the wife of the president of the Blackwood family business; that's even more impressive than being a subsidiary."
