Chapter 444
For a moment, Lana panicked as her eyes slowly darkened.
Ha! The person I like has been dead for a year.
However, before she could reply, her secretary pushed the door open nervously. "Ms. Collins..."
"What is it?" Lana grumbled, wondering if she should rece the stupid subordinate of hers. "Didn''t
I tell you to call beforeing into my office?”
"B-But Ms. Collins, there''s a Donald Campbell looking for you," the secretary stammered helplessly.
"I''ve already tried my best to stop him..."
"What did you say?" Lana eximed, wide-eyed with shock. "Donald Campbell?"
With that, she hurriedly stood up and rushed out of the room, pushing her secretary aside as she
did and leaving a cloud of gloom hanging over her visitors.
Kyler and Hendrix, without a doubt, had the most sullen looks.
They had both heard of Donald and knew the scandals surrounding him and Lana.
What they couldn''t wrap their heads around, though, was how Donald had returned when he was
said to be dead.
After getting into the elevator, Lana tried to calm her racing heart.
Could it really be Donald? What if it''s just a man with the same name? I''ve gotten my hopes up so
high that I can''t imagine what I''d do if it''s not him.
"Please don''t disappoint me..." Lana muttered under her breath. "D*mn it! Why is the elevator so
slow? Whichpany manufactured this pathetic contraption? I''m going to change it out!"
In her haste, Lana had forgotten how much she used to boast to the public about importing those
elevators for her office or how fast and stable they were.
Ding!
As soon as the elevator reached the first floor, Lana frantically pressed the door open button,
hoping that''d speed up the opening of the doors.
When they finally opened, Lana strode out of the elevator, albeit a lot calmer than before.
She turned left and slowly made her way toward the reception area, only to see a suited-up young
man with his hair tied and standing with his back facing her.
The stature is quite simr to Donald''s, but it''s also not the same as what I remembered from a year
ago.
"Donald?" Lana said softly.
When the man turned around, she finally saw that all too familiar handsome face.
Oh, he''s changed. He''s a lot paler and looks like he''s been through a lot. But other than that, he''s
still the same. His face is still just as warm and gentle as before.
Lana suddenly felt her eyes watering as though Donald had brought the rain down on her. In the
next second, her vision of him started to blur.
She blinked rapidly, and even though she was still teary-eyed, she could once again see Donald
standing in front of her, clear as day.
"How have you been?" thetter asked after staring at her for a long while.
"Good. Everything''s been good!" Lana replied with a big smile. "If you still hadn''t returned, I''d have
forgotten about you and married someone else."
Donald gave that some thought before replying, "Well, you''re almost thirty, aren''t you? It''s time to
settle down."
"Oh, shush!" Lana scolded as she walked up to him and gently patted his shoulder. "I''ve missed
you, Donald!"
Naturally, many new staff members loitering in the hall were shocked by the sight before them.
Does our CEO have someone she fancies? Is it not Kyler, though? Who''s this man with her?
"Have you eaten?" Lana asked.
Even though it was a simple question, Donald was stunned. After all. it was the first time anyone
had asked him that since his recovery.

That reminds me. How long have I not eaten? So much time has passed that I can''t even
remember. Interestingly, though, I''m not hungry at all. There''s so much energy stored inside me that
it can sustain me indefinitely.
"Not yet. But I''m not hungry," Donald answered.
"Let''s get something to eat, then!" Lana eximed as she grabbed Donald''s hand. "There''s a newly
opened restaurant in Pollerton that serves pretty good food!"
