The wife of the old CEO laughed openly and corrected Steve Burton's words, "Mr. Lawson and I don't have a romantic relationship, but rather a friendship."
Steve, holding his glass of alcohol, paused but remained silent.
The old CEO's wife stood up, smiled kindly at Steve, and left.
The old CEO chuckled as he picked up the wine jug, filled Steve's glass, and explained what his wife had just said: "My wife and I were friends for many years at work and got married. It's true that there wasn't much love, more friendship, and now it has turned into affection."
Perhaps as people grow older, they love to reminisce about the past. So the old CEO said to Steve: "I once had a girl that I was very fond of, but it was all just my wishful thinking. I pursued her for seven years and never succeeded. In the end, I saw her get married to someone else with my own eyes."
Steve's expression remained calm, but it subtly froze for a moment when he heard this part of the old CEO's story.
