My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 328

Chapter 328: Embarrassing Encounter!
“Oh, Miss Reed?”

“Yes, yes… that’s my last name. Glad you remember me. But you may call me Harper; I mean…please call me Harper. There’s no need to call my last name.” She grinned awkwardly and walked closer to him.

“Apologies, Miss Reed; I have a weakness in remembering people’s faces and names,” Sean answered casually in a polite tone, but his gaze flashed cold.

Harper, “…”

She was frustrated, seething beneath the surface, and couldn’t help but vent it inwardly. ‘Sean Spencer, you such a cold man!’

Maintaining Monalisa’s smile, she said, “It’s fine, Sean Spencer, it’s fine… Ugh, are you done speaking to Bella?”

“Yes, we’re done talking; that’s why I’m here.”

Harper, “…”

“I apologize, Miss Reed, but I have to go now.” Sean walked toward the elevator without waiting for Harper to say anything.

Harper felt like a cloud of dark smoke was over her head as she faced Sean’s icy demeanor, just like last year when she saw him. How embarrassing!

She stood in place, narrowing her eyes and watching Sean’s back until he disappeared from her line of sight.

Sean didn’t realize he was causing a girl to vent her anger at him. He didn’t have time to think about others when his own heart was filled with sadness.

He stopped right before the elevator. His expression revealed little, but inwardly, he felt like a storm was raging inside.

It’s hard for him to understand the whole situation. He had longingly wanted to meet the woman he loved and bring her to meet his mother, but his plan ended like this.

He lost her just like that.

He lost her to Tristan Sinclair.

Sean never imagined Bella and Tristan Sinclair would end up together.

How could it be that Tristan Sinclair, who had left his wife, chased her back?

This was too unreasonable for him to understand.

His hands hanging at his sides were clenched tightly.

Sean restrained himself from hitting the innocent elevator door in front of him.

‘Sean…calm… don’t let your anger overwhelm you!’ He tried hard to maintain his composure.

However now…

He felt lost, as if he were at an intersection and didn’t know which path to take.

Sigh!

At a time like this…

Sean wanted to leave the building as fast as possible and calm his chaotic mind and heart. He didn’t want Bella to know his deep feelings now, or she would blame herself again.

Deep in his heart, he didn’t want to see her sad—he just couldn’t bear to witness that.

“Ding!”

The elevator arrival sound pulled Sean back from his trance. He slowly lifted his head, looking at the elevator door before him.

Just as Sean was about to enter, he stopped when he noticed someone he knew standing inside, looking shocked to see him.

“Sean Spencer?” the man asked in surprise.

Sean’s jade-like eyes slightly narrowed, his lips breaking into a faint smile. After so many years, he did not expect to meet this man here.

“Samuel Brown! What are you doing here?” Sean responded while accepting Sam’s friendly handshake.

“Damn! I’m so happy to see you again, Sean. I can’t believe I could meet you here, at my office building,” Sam exclaimed as he stepped out of the elevator with a big smile. He was thrilled to meet his old comrade after so many years.

“So, what brings you to our office?” Sam asked again, curious to see him.

“Wait, you work here? I thought you were in New York.” Sean replied, quickly remembering every detail he knew about Samuel Brown.

“Yes. But I must guard my boss, so I returned to our country.” Sam chuckled. “Seriously, man, why are you here?”

“Oh. I see. Hey, I just met your boss.”

Sam was surprised to hear that. “You know my boss?”

Sean nodded.

“I have two bosses here. Which one? Leo Smith or Ms. Donovan?” he asked.

Sam wanted to clarify that some people see Leo as the company’s boss because Bella hasn’t officially announced her position as the real boss. Only the Director, managerial staff, and a few senior secretaries know her role as the CEO of Quantum Capital.

“Ms. Arabella Donovan,” Sean said.

“Damn! That’s the big boss! How do you know my big boss?” Sam gasped in surprise.

“Yeah! But it’s a long story. I’ll tell you some other time. The short story is that she is my only female friend, Sam. And I have known her since her teens.”

Sam was stunned. He had never heard that Bella had a close relationship with Sean Spencer.

Sam wouldn’t have struggled to locate other retired brothers-in-arms from the Black Eagle if he had known from the beginning. He could have just asked Bella to call Sean for their latest database, trace them all, and invite them to join the Sentinel Network.

“Ha ha ha…” Sam laughed heartily. He felt so happy. “You know what, Sean? I can’t believe I ended up working for her now after we were both on the same team.”

Sam began to explain his duty to guard Bella several months ago. He also informed Sean about his new role as the Director of their new company, Sentinel Network, for the Astington branch.

Sean was even more surprised to hear this information. Since returning from his mission abroad, he had heard about Sentinel Network trying to locate and recruit their retired members.

He had already asked his people to investigate this suspicious company but had not heard anything from them.

But hearing from Sam about the company shocked him. He didn’t expect Sentinel Network to be Bella’s company.

How strange! They are now connected even in their circles.

Sean silently sighed deeply before saying, “Well, Sam… the same as you. I’m also surprised to know you work for her.” He was genuinely relieved to know Bella was in Sam’s capable hands.

Sam scratched his head. “Are you done talking with my boss? Do you mind if we talk for a while in my office?”

“Yeah, I’m done talking to Bella…” Sean suddenly felt sour again, remembering his conversation with Bella. “I’m sorry, Sam, I need to go somewhere. Call me if you need anything, including that talk you want. You still have my number, right?”

“Yes.”

“Good! I’ll see you around—” Sean said and entered the elevator.
