Even the braised meat didn't taste good anymore.
The shrimp was crispy, just like biting into Ethan Sterling.
"Little aunt—"
Before he could say another "aunt," Ethan fell silent.
It was the look in her eyes.
Ethan suddenly remembered she didn't want people to know about her relationship with his uncle.
He felt a sudden pang of sympathy for his uncle.
Alas, this husband was too humble.
His wife was right beside him, and he couldn't even acknowledge her. It was even more pitiful than the Cowherd meeting the Weaver Girl once a year!
After dinner, Chloe and Ella had almost finished eating.
So Evelyn spoke to them.
"Chloe, Ella, are you done? Let's head upstairs!"
"I'm full!" Chloe replied.
"Let's go up first. President Sterling and Manager Sterling, take your time!" Evelyn turned to Alexander and Ethan, then shot Ethan a fierce glare.
Ethan shrank back.
The look in his aunt's eyes said she wanted to kill him. It was terrifying.
Alexander nodded slightly.
Evelyn took her plate to the recycling cart, put it away, and walked out of the cafeteria.
"Evelyn, do you want some dessert?" Chloe put down her plate, followed her out, and asked.
"Aren't you full yet?" Evelyn asked in surprise.
"No, don't you always like desserts?"
"I'm full now, and I don't really feel like it. If you want some, I can go with you!" Evelyn replied with a smile.
"Let's go, take a walk, buy some back, and have it as an afternoon snack! Ella, let's go together!" Chloe turned to Ella and said.
Ella had no objections, so the three of them didn't go upstairs. They went downstairs to buy dessert.
At that moment, only Alexander and Ethan were left.
Ethan asked in a low voice, a smile on his face.
"Uncle, your relationship with my little aunt hasn't been exposed yet!"
"With your efforts, today's exposure is no problem!" Alexander glanced at him and replied calmly.
To be more precise, after last night, their relationship couldn't be hidden.
"No, I thought others already knew, they just weren't saying it!" Ethan muttered.
"It's fine, sooner or later everyone will know!"
"But if it's because of me, my little aunt will kill me!" Ethan sighed.
No wonder Evelyn looked at him like she was going to swallow him whole.
"No, she's not that savage!" Alexander raised the corner of his mouth and replied.
"That's strange!" Ethan retorted. The next second, he looked at his uncle and said, "Uncle, my birthday is coming up!"
"There are more than two months left!" Alexander replied calmly.
"Then I'll apply for leave from the head office in advance!" Ethan said with frustration.
"It's fine to ask for gifts, but not for leave!"
"That's too cruel. Give me at least ten days or half a month off!"
"You've used up all your annual leave!"
"Then I'll ask for personal leave!"
"Not approved!"
"Uncle, don't be so cruel. I've made plans with my friends this time—"
"Convince her to take a long time, and she agrees. I don't mean anything else. See you!"
"Why do I have to get my little aunt's approval first?" Ethan asked in amazement.
"Basically, whatever she thinks you can do, I don't have to worry about your safety!" Alexander said.
"…" Ethan was speechless.
With Evelyn's conservative attitude, did he even have a chance?
"Evelyn, you and President Sterling—" Chloe asked carefully at that moment.
"He's my husband!" Evelyn had to admit frankly.
"Oh my God, I didn't hear you say that before!" Chloe's jaw almost dropped.
Although she had thought about this possibility, she actually preferred to believe Evelyn was Alexander's lover.
After all, it wasn't unusual for someone like President Sterling to have a lover outside.
Besides, Evelyn hadn't graduated yet, and she hadn't mentioned her relationship with President Sterling before.
It felt even more like an invisible relationship.
Unexpectedly, the answer was that she was President Sterling's wife!
"It's nothing. I'm just doing my internship, and I don't want to cause him any trouble!" Evelyn had to say.
"What kind of trouble would it cause? Really, we don't know!" Chloe said.
"Evelyn, I didn't expect you to get married so young!" Ella said with a smile.
"It's very early. I got married before graduation!" Evelyn said with an embarrassed smile.
"It's better to get married early. President Sterling is the object of many women's dreams! Now you're Mrs. Sterling!" Chloe said immediately.
Evelyn didn't know what to say, so she just laughed.
"Evelyn, after your internship, will you continue to work in the secretarial office?" Ella asked.
"Still don't know. I want to see the internship results!" Evelyn answered truthfully.
"What results do you need to see? You're the president's wife. Apart from the positions of chairman and president, whatever you want to do is just a matter of one sentence!" Chloe said with a smile.
"No, just like everyone else, I have to come in through the interview and examination. Only with excellent internship results can I have the opportunity to sign a contract.
It's also because of this that my relationship with Alexander isn't public. He won't cut me any slack!" Evelyn explained.
In fact, at the beginning, she didn't want to disclose her relationship with Alexander. She thought that once it was made public, there would be problems like now.
Now it seemed there were some problems.
Maybe after last night, Chloe and Ella had more or less guessed the relationship between her and Alexander. So today, their attitude towards her had changed greatly, which made her a bit uncomfortable.
When they arrived at the dessert shop, they bought some desserts. They also bought some for Amelia and Maddie, as well as for Alexander and Grace.
Evelyn wanted to pay, but Chloe and Ella kept stopping her, saying she always treated them. This time, it was their treat.
In the end, the two of them paid.
They went back with the desserts.
Evelyn finally summoned up the courage to speak.
"Chloe, Ella, I'm still the same old Evelyn. I won't change just because I have something to do with Alexander. Don't treat me differently!"
"How could we? As long as you're a member of our secretarial office, you'll always be a member of the secretarial office!" Ella said with a smile.
"Yes, we're just a little surprised. Don't mind us!" Chloe said.
"No!" Evelyn shook her head.
Evelyn finally gave up the idea of making them change and let it be.
After all, she had been hiding her identity before, and sometimes it took time for others to adapt.
Back at the company, Chloe asked her to hand over the two desserts she had ordered for Alexander and Grace, and asked her to deliver them.
Evelyn couldn't refuse, so she had to deliver the desserts.
