My Substitute CEO Bride romance Capítulo 1238

Tina shot a look at Elsabeth and whispered, "Elsie, I think we should give them the room!"

Elsabeth was puzzled, but she followed Tina out of the office.

As soon as they were outside, Elsabeth asked eagerly, "Who is he?"

Austin replied, "Oh, come on. By the looks of it, who else can it be? I'm pretty sure he's Melody's first love!"

Elsabeth rolled her eyes at Austin and said, "I didn't ask you."

Elsabeth then looked at Tina for confirmation.

Tina replied awkwardly, "Well, I'm not sure because they never made their relationship public. If I remember correctly, they were deskmates at university.

"At that time, Blaine was head over heels with our chancellor's daughter, and word had it that he often borrowed money from Melody. I think they're just friends."

A hint of sadness flashed across Tina's eyes.

She had a crush on Blaine during her university years.

However, she felt she was not good enough for him back then, so she kept her feelings to herself.

Meanwhile, in the office, Blaine gazed at Melody like a lovestruck teenager and said, "You're even more beautiful now, Melody!"

"Thanks. Why isn't Jessie with you?"

Melody replied, keeping her voice devoid of emotion.

Blaine laughed stiffly and replied, "We divorced five years ago."

Melody stared at him skeptically and asked, "Five years ago? So what, you guys were only married for like two years?"

Everybody knew Blaine and Jessie were madly in love during their university years. They were a model couple.

Blaine took a deep breath and said, "She became a completely different person after we got married. She was always angry over the tiniest things. Besides, I had just started a business at the time, so I didn't have the time or energy to deal with her..."

Blaine did some digging and knew that Melody was still single and unmarried.

He even managed to find a bunch of her photos online.

He realized that Melody had become more mature-looking since her university days. More beautiful too.

She was one of the beauty queens back then. Now, she looked more elegant than ever.

Blaine had been improving himself so that he would be worthy of her.

"As you can see, I'm doing quite well. I'm not interested in your affairs!" Melody replied casually.

Blaine flashed her a warm smile. "I know I'm still not good enough for you, but that's okay. It takes time to build a relationship. I heard you've been having difficulties with the Eves lately. Why not let me help you?"

Melody shook her head and said, "I appreciate it, but I don't need your help. I'm totally capable of dealing with the Eves myself. Besides, even if there's something I can't handle, I can always rely on my boyfriend to help me!"

"Your boyfriend?"
