Reclaiming the CEO's Heart novel Chapter 53

Chapter 53 What a Heartless Man

It was said that there was no story without coincidences, but it was too coincidental today.

Avery didn't know what bad luck she had encountered. Every time she was in a miserable state, she would always be bumped into by him.

The Blake family and the White family were old friends, and this time it was the White family who took the initiative to involve the Blake family to be a shareholder. Andrew personally recommended talents for her, so they organized this party.

No one expected that Jacob would accompany Layla here. Jacob's appearance made everyone greatly honored, and they greeted him immediately.

Andrew, being a gentleman, did not leave Avery behind. Instead, he patiently handed her a tissue. In the chaos, their fingers touched.

The room was warm with heating, and Avery wore a white knitted dress under her down jacket. She didn't deliberately emphasize her figure, but the fluffy knitwear couldn't hide her well-proportioned body.

She slightly tilted her head, revealing the delicate and fair back of her neck and looking particularly adorable.

Jacob noticed that there were no marks on her neck anymore. Just like love, one day the traces of her in his heart would completely disappear, too.

However, when Andrew grabbed her wrist, Jacob realized that he wasn't as composed as he had imagined. His black eyes stared at Andrew's hand.

Andrew sensed a chill coming towards him and looked up, only to find that Sarah was stopping Jacob and greeting him. He wondered if it was his illusion.

He greeted Jacob with composure, "I really didn't expect you to come in person, Mr. Hill. It is truly an honor. Layla, this is Avery, the genius from our college that I told you about. Avy, you should know Mr. Hill, and this is Mr. Hill's..."

Avery, who had changed from her previous gentle demeanor, looked more indifferent. "I know, Mr. Hill's fiancee."

It was truly ridiculous. She had thought that she and Jacob would never have any intersection again, but she didn't expect to see him so soon.

Andrew slapped his forehead. "Look at me! I forgot that Mr. Hill and Layla are about to get married, and it's being reported by all the major media outlets. No one here should be unaware."
