"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 thepany''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 thepany''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 finallye back," the receptionist eximed excitedly to those inside.


    This caused the employees who were originally working inside toe 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 ckwood family business had been diligently managing thepany.


    Even without Eva, thepany 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,uding not just her beauty but also herpetence, 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, onlyzy 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 ckwood? You don''t mean the Adrian ckwood of the ckwood family business, do you?"


    "Although it feels surreal, that is the Adrian ckwood of the ckwood family business."


    "Why would Adrian ckwood of the ckwood family business be here?"


    "Are you dumb? Ourpany has secured an investment from the ckwood family business."


    "But even if we did secure the investment, Mr. ckwood himself shouldn''t be appearing here, right? Is that reasonable?"


    The crowd fell silent...


    It seemed truly unreasonable. After all, to the ckwood family business, theirpany 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 y 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 rtionship 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 deration.


    Everyone was still specting, but unexpectedly, Adrian quickly acknowledged their rtionship, 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 variousments.


    "Ourpany''s boss and Mr. ckwood are actually husband and wife. Does that mean our boss is the wife of the ckwood family business'' president??"


    "Oh my, to put it a step further, does that mean we''re essentially working at a subsidiary of the ckwood family business?"


    Previously, because of the investment from the ckwood family business, everyone was willing to work at thispany. Apany that the ckwood 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 wereing here for a legitimatepany interview were somewhat sarcastically teasing them.


    "It''s just a smallpany favored by the ckwood family business, and you guys are scrambling over it. One would think it''s a subsidiary of the ckwood family business without knowing any better."


    "Going to this kind of small workshoppany is just as good as finding any random one abroad."


    "Exactly."


    When they first heard these sour words, everyone felt ufortable, but now they felt extremely vindicated.


    It could be described as a feeling of exhrating triumph.


    What could they say when they next met their friends?


    "Hey, didn''t you say this was just a small workshoppany? But the boss is the wife of the president of the ckwood family business; that''s even more impressive than being a subsidiary."
