Chapter 7 The Woman Who Understood Edward The Most
The woman walked to Susan and extended her hand graciously to Susan and greeted.
“You must be Susan, the secretary, right? I’ve heard of you, I’m Vanessa.”
Susan’s heart skipped a beat but she maintained a smile professionally. She simrly extended her
hand and introduced herself, “Vanessa, Mr. Ford hasn’t arrived at the office. Would you like to wait for
him at his office or remain at the reception area? I’ll get you a cup of coffee while you wait.”
Susan knew a little about the story between Vanessa and Edward. The general idea was that Vanessa
was his unforgettable lover. But when she married Edward, she confirmed that there was nothing
between Edward and Vanessa. Of course, she didn’t know what happened between Edward and
Vanessa to cause them to stop contacting each other.
She had guessed about how Vanessa looked in the past but now she saw that Vanessa was
extraordinarily beautiful and she had a poise that was befitting of being named as one of the beauties
of the country.
“No need, thanks, Ms. White. If you have the time, I’d like to find out a little about Edward. After all, you
are the woman who understands Edward the most now.”
Vanessa joked as she held onto Susan’s hand causing Susan to feel very ufortable. Just as
Vanessa was about to pull Susan to the reception area to have a good chat, there was a low cough
from behind them.
Susan turned around and saw Edward and nodded to greet him formally, “Mr. Ford.”
Vanessa released Susan’s hand and smiled radiantly. She rushed over to give Edward a big hug.
“Edward, you’re here.”
“Why did youe to the office?”
Edward nonchntly removed Vanessa’s arm from his neck and looked at Vanessa as she said, “I
can’t wait to see you.” Vanessa bit on her lower lip as she said and blushed.
There was nothing strange about Edward’s expression. He gently opened the office door and walked
in. Vanessa rushed in with him and then closed the door.
Edward’s office was right next to Susan’s office which a few secretaries shared. After Vanessa went
into Edward’s office, the few secretaries started to gossip.
“Wow, that woman is really beautiful.”
“Mr. Ford’s new girlfriend looked very vicious.”

“Ms. White, make a guess, how many days will Mr. Ford take to dump this woman and end the game
with her?”
In the end, a young secretary served a ss of water with lemon and nudged Susan’s arm.
Susan came to her senses and took a sip of the water and said, “Perhaps this woman will not be
dumped… Looks like Mrs. Ford is in danger.”
When she said that, all the secretaries were stunned.
Susan looked at everyone and said to them, “Get back to work. If you don’t work and get fired, you
won’t have any chance to gossip about him anymore.”
Everyone wanted to ask further but none did.
Susan just opened her file when Tina called. She looked and then quickly answered the call. On the
other side, Tina said, “The director of the hospital asked me to call you regarding your mother’s illness.
Will you be interested to try a new machine for treatment? Are you free now? Make a trip to the hospital
to discuss with the director.”
Susan looked at the time and asked Tina, “That… is that Jarvis around?”
“No, he’s not. He’s not working at our hospital. A person of his status would note to this hospital
unnecessarily.”
“Okay, I’ll apply for leave.”
After Susan hung up the call, she hesitated for a moment. Thepany regtions were for the
workers to look for Susan when they applied for their leave but Susan had to seek Edward’s approval
for her leave application.
Edward’s office door was closed and she didn’t know what Edward was doing with Vanessa inside.
Susan couldn’t wait any further as she had to rush to the hospital. Thus she bit her lower lip and
knocked on the door.
