The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback
Chapter 187

Chapter 187:

Alicia felt that she had chosen the worst possible moment to enter.

It was the first time she had seen Caden with another women. What did their agreement say again? They would not interfere in each other's personal lives. Their business was over, and they weren't in a relationship.

So she shouldn't get involved, right

Alicia tried to calm herself as she looked for a place to sit.

< p>Despite this, he glanced towards the office. He couldn't help but wonder what was going on inside. The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt.

In the office, Hank led the woman to Caden's desk. Mr. Ward, you have arrived.

Caden looked up and frowned.

I asked for a bodyguard. What the hell is this

Although her tone was harsh, the woman remained unfazed and indifferent. She was undeniably beautiful, but she had an intimidating presence.

Hank leaned toward her and whispered: I felt the same way when I met her, but... He cleared his throat, lowering his voice further. She is bigger in size than you.

Caden was taken aback. He looked at the woman again before asking: A man.

Hank shook his head. No, I was referring to his muscle mass.

Caden was speechless.

Hank urged the woman to demonstrate her capabilities. He took off his coat, revealing muscles that could rival those of any bodybuilding champion. She looked like a bodybuilder in civilian clothes.

Her appearance was strikingly different with the coat on than without it.

Caden's demeanor softened. Please put on your coat.

He looked at his file, pausing briefly on his name.

Jasmine.

Jasmine replied: Yes, Mr. Ward. Caden paused briefly. Very good.

His name, his face and his physique seemed to belong to three different people. However, none of that mattered. The priority was his ability to protect Ciara. After Caden's approval, Hank escorted Jasmine out.

Ciara resided at the Joy Mansion, and Jasmine would begin her duties the next day, providing twenty-four-hour security for Ciara, except during her hours of sleep.

When they left, Jasmine quickly noticed Alicia. Alicia sat quietly, her long hair flowing gently and her striking profile capturing attention. Hank also noticed Alicia following Jasmine's gaze and was briefly taken aback.

Jasmine said, I'll go myself. You can tell Mr. Ward that he has a guest.

Hank had originally intended to ignore Alicia, since Caden had not openly acknowledged her, and he preferred that Jasmine remain unaware of any connection between them. Caden and Alicia. However, judging by Jasmine's expression, he sensed that she might already know more than he thought.

Do you know her? Hank asked.

Jasmine replied: I know who she is.< /p>

Part of a bodyguard's role is to recognize any important person.

Hank looked impressed. Forward. Mr. Ward is waiting, Jasmine said before leaving.

Instead of telling Caden, Hank approached Alicia directly.

Miss Bennett, Mr. Ward is available now. I can take her to see him.

Alicia was taken aback. Already

Hank seemed confused. What does it mean

Alicia scratched her forehead before saying: I saw you accompany a woman inside. So quickly Caden finished things.

Hank's face suddenly changed. You have misunderstood it. She's a bodyguard that Mr. Ward hired for Mrs. Ward. There is nothing personal between her and Mr. Ward.

He was relieved.

He was grateful that Alicia had brought up the subject; A misunderstanding could have caused bigger problems. If Caden lost control, he would be the one to face the consequences.

After leading Alicia to the office, Hank quickly left.

Alicia looked at Caden. His behavior in the office was completely different from what he had at home. Here, it was all business, stiffer even than his suit.

Noticing her presence, Caden continued signing documents without stopping and asked bluntly: Why are you here?

Alicia He placed the notes he had prepared on his table and explained the reason for his presence.

Caden took a look at the notes and quickly made a decision. I will improve a batch of products and release them as limited edition.

Alicia internally agreed. The upgraded version would likely sell at a higher price, and personalization would add emotional value for consumers. But then he remembered to ask: You shouldn't discuss this plan with the others.

It's not expensive, Caden replied.

Alicia nodded. She had forgotten how much money she had.

Seeing Caden immersed in his work, Alicia didn't want to interrupt further. He started to leave.

Caden looked up. Where are you going

Alicia answered: It's still early. I'm going to the mall to pick up some things.

He paused for a moment, then started to gather his things. Wait for me.

Alicia seemed confused. You're leaving work now. It's not a little early

Caden gave a mocking smile. What good would it do you if I worked myself to death?

Alicia was momentarily speechless. Then, he said boldly: Quite a bit, especially if you've included me in your will.

This time, Caden was speechless.

He turned off the lights in the office and left with her. .

Alicia asked: Are you sure you're coming with me? You're not worried about your family seeing us together.

My grandmother respects my privacy. He won't interfere as long as I don't present anyone as my girlfriend publicly.

Alicia felt a pang of envy. Ciara was as kind as her own mother.

He asked: Does Ciara plan to stay here permanently.

Depends on her mood.

Then you'll have company for Christmas. Alicia couldn't hide her satisfaction.

Caden looked at her. You're welcome to come.

Alicia was taken aback, feeling a little shy.

Then Caden added: So I won't have to hire an extra cook.

Alicia was speechless.
