The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife

Chapter 99

Joanna had just stepped into the elevator. Before the elevator door closed, someone had already pressed the button to open the door. The elevator door slowly opened again.

Bruce walked in with a cold expression.

He was not wearing a suit today. Instead, he wore a knee–length overcoat with a black shirt underneath. His hair was still meticulously combed on top of his head, with a few irregular strands loosely hanging at the ends.

He exuded a strong presence with a hint of wickedness. He was incredibly handsome!

However, when Joanna saw him, she felt a sudden intense feeling of anxiety. She involuntarily pressed herself against the clevator wall.

Seeing her frightened reaction, Bruce did not show any anger. Instead, he had a calm expression, and he did not ask her why she had snuck out yesterday.

Joanna’s heart was beating rapidly. She clenched her fists, ready to defend herself at any moment.

Fortunately, Bruce did not make things difficult for her. He ignored her presence as if she was invisible.

As the elevator slowly ascended, Joanna felt extremely anxious. The atmosphere was tense, as if time was passing at a snail’s

pace.

One minute later, the elevator arrived at the office floor and the elevator door slowly opened.

Bruce did not even look at Joanna. He walked out of the elevator first.

Then, he walked straight to the conference room.

The Haynes Group held a meeting every morning at nine.

At nine o’clock, the high–level executives would gather in the conference room. They would report yesterday’s work to their superiors and convey today’s instructions.

Bruce walked past everyone. The high–level executives, who were chatting and laughing, instantly fell silent when they saw

Bruce.

“Hi, Mr. Everett!” the employees greeted him one after another.

Bruce just nodded slightly and entered the conference room.

When Joanna saw this, she became even more terrified. For a long while, she remained hesitant and did not dare to go into the conference room.

“Wow, Mr. Everett is here at the office again today!”

“That’s right! It’s scary. Will he do that to Miss Haynes again today…”

“Shh, shh, stop talking! It’s almost time for the meeting. Let’s go in quickly!”

“Oh my, I’m so nervous!”

Two high–level executives adjusted their expressions and walked into the conference room with a serious and restrained demeanor.

In the conference room, several high–level executives had already arrived early. All of them looked cautious and careful, afraid of making any mistakes.

Ten minutes later, Joanna still had not entered the conference room.

Several high–level executives were afraid that Joanna would be late and anger Bruce. They could not help but mutter softly, “Why hasn’t Miss Haynes come yet?”

“She’s not coming to work today, right?”

“That’s impossible. I just saw Miss Haynes come to the company,”

“Should we go and call her…”

Joanna kept dilly–dallying until twenty past nine before she toughed it out and walked into the conference room.

As soon as she walked in, more than ten pairs of eyes shot at her.

Bruce was sitting right next to her seat.

At this moment, he sat quietly with his hands folded, just like other high–level executives, looking serious and waiting for the meeting to start. However, there was a hint of a smirk in his eyes.

Due to the presence of Bruce, Joanna felt extremely anxious about being watched. She was somewhat uneasy when she walked in.

However, she did not dare to sit in her original seat. She was even more afraid of getting too close to Bruce.

“Good morning, Miss Haynes!”

Joanna pursed her lips and tried her best to calm down. “Good morning, everyone!” she said.

The agenda of the meeting that she had prepared was completely forgotten due to fear.

“Let’s start the meeting!” Joanna said. She stood by the other end of the conference table, without any intention of taking a

seal.

“Miss Haynes, this is today’s report.”

“This is yesterday’s purchase data and the progress of Original Equipment Manufacturing”

“Here are the contracts from the past two days. They have already been signed. Please take a look, Miss Haynes. The high- level executives reported their work one after another.

Joanna was listening absentmindedly. She said, “Oh, send them all to my office later.

“There are three main topics in today’s meeting. I just sent the agenda to the work chatgroup.

“Take a closer look later. Today’s meeting is over!”

As Joanna spoke, she had already stood up and walked toward the door.

Everyone was left speechless. They were stunned when they saw her leaving.

The meeting today was too short. The part about the meeting agenda ended in less than five minutes.

After the meeting, Joanna quickly left the conference room. She did not want to see Bruce for even a moment.

Unfortunately, when she returned to her own office and before she could even close the door, Bruce followed her in.

Upon seeing her about to close the door, Bruce rushed forward and blocked it. He then pushed his way into the office forcefully.

Joanna stepped back in fear and asked, “Bruce, what do you want to do?”

Bruce shrugged and said with a faint smile, “I’m here to work.”

“Don’t do that again,” Joanna said. “This is my office. You’re not allowed to come in!”

“Are you sure?” Bruce said with a slight smirk, exuding a playful and mischievous air.

Joanna involuntarily swallowed her saliva. She did not dare to drive him away anymore.

Even more so, she did not dare to stop him forcefully. “He’s a nasty man!” she thought. “The more I resist him, the more aggressive he will become!”

“Wh–what exactly do you want?” Joanna asked.

“I told you,” Bruce said. “I want to work!” He walked into the office in a domineering manner.

Then, he sat down on Joanna’s desk chair, looking completely at ease.

“Hey… Can you please stop doing this?” Joanna said. “If you continue like this, I’ll really have to call the police!”
