A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 329

"I heard that your wife's back. I'm afraid that she will find out about our relationship," Maria said with a seductive smile, tilting her head sideways.

The door of the meeting room was open just a crack. When the woman standing outside caught a glimpse of Maria's face, her eyes widened in shock.

'How could it be her? When did she come back to H City?'

The woman closed her eyes and forced herself to calm down before taking another careful look at the scene inside.

Sure enough, the woman holding her husband was indeed Maria!

Keeping his arms relaxed at his sides, Colby sneered in his head. "Do you want to resign because my wife's back or because you are back together with James?¹'

She was wearing light and delicate make-up that enhanced her gorgeous features ever-so-slightly, and there was a faint, almost natural fragrance drifting from her whole body. She had perfect, well-proportioned curves that she showed off in eyecatching, complementary clothes. It was no wonder that she had managed to trap James in her web.

At the same time, Colby couldn't help but feel a stab of regret. It was a shame that he had never gotten to taste this beautiful woman.

Taking a surreptitious glance at the door, Maria replied, "Both. I thought I would always be your woman, Mr. Zheng, but it seems that we're not fated to be. I have no choice."

"Yeah, okay. I'll inform the HR department."

Seeing that the door of the meeting room was closed again, Maria leisurely withdrew her arms, straightened up, and smoothed out her clothes. "Thank you, Mr. Zheng. Goodbye."

Colby nodded in a distant matter. "Take care, Ms. Song."

He knew that this tricky woman couldn't have come all the way here just to tell him that she was resigning. What was her real purpose for suddenly showing up at the HM Group?

After stepping out of the meeting room, Maria flipped her long hair behind her shoulder and headed straight to the elevator.

When she was turning the corner, she heard the sound of high heels hurrying away and caught a glimpse of a figure hiding.

As she walked by the hidden figure, she slowed down with a sneer, but continued walking into the elevator as if she hadn't noticed anything.

It was not until the elevator doors closed and the surroundings returned to silence that the woman hiding relaxed and let out a sigh of relief. She took a few deep breaths and patted her chest, trying to calm her beating heart.

A cleaner came over with a trolley. Seeing her standing there, the cleaner greeted, "Mrs. Zheng."

The woman absent-mindedly nodded at the cleaner in greeting before walking back to the meeting room.

In the meeting room, Colby was still sitting at the same place, thinking about Maria. It was only when he heard the sound of the door opening that he came back to his senses and looked up.

It was his wife, Rosa Qiao.

She was good-looking, but not as beautiful as Maria. She was wearing a long, beige-colored patterned dress, a short grey coat with pearl beading, and a pair of formal black shoes.

It was a simple and ordinary outfit that looked pleasant to the eye. But compared with Maria, who was always dressed like she was walking down the ramp, Rosa's dressing style seemed to be from a 1950's fashion catalogue.

"Have you sent him away?" Colby asked. After the meeting, he had asked her to see off a senior member of the company.

Rosa walked up to him and nodded. "Yes."

"Good." Colby rose to his feet and took a deep breath.

"Let's go."

"Colby, wait."

He looked back at her in confusion. "Is there anything else?"

After hesitating for a while, she asked, "Have you and Maria known each other for a long time?"

Despite hearing the mention of Maria's name, Colby remained calm. "Did you meet her just now?"

"Yes."

He nodded plainly. "We haven't known each other for long. A year, maybe. But we weren't close."

Rosa pressed on. "How did you know each other?"

'How did we know each other?' After thinking for a moment, Colby carefully answered, "She worked here, but James banned her, so she lost her job." Then, raising his eyebrow, he added, "Do you know her?"
