The handsome receptionist opened the door to the CEO’s office, and Horace stepped inside. Brittany sat confidently in the
ecutive chait, reviewing documents with a pen in hand.
“Ms. Brewer, Mr. Larson is here,” the receptionist announced.
Without looking up, Brittany signed her name at the bottom of the papers with a quick flourish. “Please have a seat for a moment. I need to handle this document.”
Horace’s eyes lingered on Brittany. Today, she wore a crisp, white silk blouse paired with a sleek black pencil skirt that hugged her curves. Her tousled curts were casually pinned up, revealing a graceful, slender neckline and a striking profile. She was stunning, impossible to look away from.
The front desk attendant turned back to Horace. “Would you like something to drink?”
“No, thank you. You may leave,” Horace replied.
“Alright,” the young man said before slipping away.
Only then did Horace feel the room grow a little quieter.
Brittany snapped the folder shut and looked up at him. “You’re early. Do you already have the paternity test results?”
Horace pressed his thin lips together. “If the test results weren’t out, am I not allowed to come see you?”
Brittany raised an eyebrow. “What’s with the tone? Who pissed you off this early?”
Horace was speaking the truth. Since Brittany’s return, their conversations revolved only around their daughter. Beyond that, it seemed she had nothing else to say to him.
He sneered softly, “You must be in a good mood all the time, surrounded by all those men. That’s quite a feeling, isn’t it?”
Brittany blinked, then asked, “Are you referring to my employees?
“This is the first time I’ve ever seen a team made up entirely of men. You’ve really opened my eyes.”
Brittany’s red lips curved into a faint smile.
“It’s true my team consists entirely of handsome men–each at least six feet tall, with abs, good looks, top university degrees, and real skills. Those are the strict requirements for working with me, I don’t have any female subordinates.”
Frost settled over Horace’s handsome features. “Are you hiring employees or picking a husband? Since when does job performance have anything to do with gender?”
“What’s wrong with having a preference? I just like looking at handsome men. This is my company, and I can do what I want. Now I understand why guys love looking at beautiful women and keep hiring young, pretty secretaries. Being able to see a bunch of good–looking guys every day feels amazing. I went from questioning men to understanding and becoming like them!”
Horace was speechless. His large hands clenched into fists at his sides. “I didn’t hire a female secretary! All the people around me are men!”
The butler standing behind Horace chuckled nervously. “Mrs. Larson, it’s true that Mr. Larson has been surrounded only by men all these years.”
Brittany smirked. “You think I shouldn’t surround myself with men just because you don’t have women working around you?” She turned to the butler. “By the way, I’m not Mrs. Larson anymore. Get used to calling me Ms. Brewer.”
The butler quickly corrected himself, “Got it, Ms. Brewer.”
“No, don’t change it–call her Mrs. Larson!”
“No, call me Ms. Brewer!”

“Brittany, don’t forget that we’re not divorced yet. You’re still Mrs Larson!”
The butler silently prayed for help, wishing he wouldn’t be harmed in the fight between this couple.

Brittany rolled her eyes at Horace and dropped the pointless argument. She cut straight to the point. “So, are the test results in or not?”
