She Becomes Glamorous After The Engagement Annulment

Justin breathed a sigh of relief.
He picked a restaurant and sent the address to her.

Then, he stood up and got ready to set off.
When he passed the study, he saw Cherry playing in there.
Were she Pete, he would never take him along and have him be the third wheel.

But if it was Cherry… He’d better take her along, he supposed.
Otherwise, what if she started crying at home?

Justin smiled and beckoned to her.
“Let’s go out for dinner, Pete.”

“Okie-Dokie!”

—

At the Smith Corporation.

In the office, Joel clenched his fists tightly after Justin hung up.
The look in his eyes, as he stared ahead of him, was volatile and unreadable.

Even his expression, which was always amicable, had become a little sharp.
An unusual gleam appeared in his deep eyes.
He pressed the button that summoned his personal assistant.
Thirty seconds later, his assistant knocked on the door and entered.
“Is there something you need me for, Mr.
Smith?”

Joel’s voice was awfully cold as he ordered, “Find out what happened at the Golden Sunshine Kindergarten!”

The assistant was stunned for a moment.

Joel was well-known for being a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
He had always been mild-mannered and treated everyone amicably.
During all these years as his personal assistant, Joel had been relatively forgiving toward him even when he made the occasional mistake.

This was the first time he had ever seen such a cold and ruthless look on Joel’s face.

The assistant hastily nodded and replied respectfully, “Yes, sir.”

After the assistant left, Joel thought for a while and nevertheless got up and walked out of his office.
When the assistant noticed him, he said in surprise, “Mr.
Smith?”

Joel instructed, “Cancel all my meetings today.
Call me when you find out what happened.”

“Yes, sir.”

Joel took the CEO-exclusive lift down to the underground car park and drove out by himself.

To be honest, he didn’t know where he wanted to go, but he simply felt so irritable.
He drove around aimlessly in New York.
Before he knew it, he had arrived at the university where he used to study at.

He stopped the car.
He was about to walk in when he spotted a familiar figure right away.

The young woman, who seemed a little sad, was sitting on a bench under the tree.
Her thin and frail figure gradually blended with the one from a few years ago.

All the noise around him seemed to disappear and time quietly rewound to a few years ago…

Back in high school, they had made a promise to each other that they would attend the New York University together.
However, when they were seniors, she suddenly began to pursue dancing before the entrance exams.
She wanted to go professional, so she gave up on enrolling at the New York University and instead made plans to go abroad.
He was very sad when she told him, but he didn’t want to hold her back, so he had agreed.

The two of them seldom spoke to each other after that.
After the college entrance exams, the two of them didn’t contact each other for a whole summer.

When school finally started, all Joel could feel was dejection as he walked down the path with his luggage without her.
It seemed like the world only became bright and colorful when she was around.

But as he walked, he suddenly heard someone calling his name.

He looked up and saw her standing at the New York University’s reception counter for freshmen with a suitcase.
With a big smile on her face, she had called out, “Joel Smith! I’m staying here all for your sake! Don’t you dare bully me in the future, you hear me?”

Even after so many years, he could still clearly remember that she had worn a pale blue dress that day.
Her calves were fair and her figure tall and slender.

When she smiled, it was as if everything around her had lit up.

In the midst of Joel’s thoughts, the sound of a cell phone ringing suddenly interrupted his thoughts.

Had his assistant already found out what happened at the kindergarten?
