Chapter 2 The Person in the Dream is Right in Front

The light bathed Grayson, making him appear like a cold and mysterious sculpture, captivating everyone's imagination. Lena unconsciously avoided his gaze, looking down at her feet, as if hoping to disappear into the floor. Lucy noticed Lena's unease and asked softly, "Lena, what's wrong? Are you okay?"

Lena forced a smile, "I'm fine, maybe just didn't sleep well last night." But inside, she was screaming, hoping not to be noticed by Grayson.

Lucy smirked, "I've always said you should find a man to take care of you. The director is so devoted to you, why don't you fancy him?"

"Men like the director don't catch your eye. Only someone like the CEO can catch your eye!"

At this moment, Lena was too preoccupied to pay attention to Huang Xiaoxiao's teasing. She silently prayed, "Heaven, please don't let Grayson see me!"

Often, the more you fear something, the more likely it is to happen. Grayson had already noticed Lena's little movements.

Frowning slightly, Grayson felt a tinge of displeasure. He glanced at Lena and found her more charming than before, more feminine, but also more frail. She was still as attractive, amidst a group of flashy women, he could spot her at a glance. But he deeply resented her for the betrayal four years ago.

"Lena, you ran away four years ago, but you can't escape four years later!" Grayson gritted his teeth inwardly.

Seeing the displeasure on the CEO's face, the supervisors around couldn't help but feel a bit nervous. "Could it be that we made a mistake?"

A new leader often brings changes, hoping these changes won't affect them. Everyone silently prayed for their own departments.

At this moment, Lena was too busy lowering her head and immersing herself in her own little world to notice the coldness around the CEO.

Grayson walked calmly towards the CEO's private elevator, surrounded by senior executives. Only Grayson and his assistant Andy entered the elevator. Others watched silently as the elevator doors closed.

After entering the elevator, Lena looked up and met Grayson's gaze. Her heart raced in panic. She knew there was no escaping now.

Departments returned to their workstations, Lena was busy with work, too occupied to notice Grayson's presence. Among many beautiful women, she appeared rather ordinary but exuded a unique air of sophistication. The director also showed extra attention to her, sparking jealousy among other female colleagues.

"Lucy, you go modify yesterday's drawings. I'll go to the restroom." Lena hurriedly left, bearing the pain in her heart alone. She wanted to finish work quickly, escape back to her own sanctuary. Standing in front of the mirror, she touched up her makeup, trying hard to conceal her inner panic and hatred. Closing her eyes, she could almost see the tall boy in a white shirt playing basketball returning.

Just as she returned from the restroom, the director came in and said, "The company is hosting a reception for the new CEO at the Vienna Hotel tonight, and it's mandatory for all employees to attend."

"Director..."

Before Lena could finish, the director added, "No leaves are allowed. Anyone taking leave will have their quarterly bonus deducted." "Lena, what's wrong?" the director asked.

"Uh, nothing!"

Lena's face was expressionless, "It's nothing." But inside, she was filled with unease.
