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 .
