Chapter 47
I followed Quinn Ortega and Audrey Macy into the office.Calmly, I watched them kiss goodbye at the office door.It wasn’t that I wanted to be a third wheel.It was just that I couldn’t move more than two meters away from Quinn Ortega. I didn’t know the reason or the duration. Was I to follow him like this for the rest of my life, until his death?I was on the brink of breaking down, but there was nothing I could do.
As soon as Quinn Ortega entered the office, his expression darkened.I glanced around and understood why.The documents on the desk were not color-coded, there was no coffee prepared, and the air conditioning hadn’t been adjusted.These routine tasks were always handled by me. Since I wasn’t there today, no one had done them.
“Where is everyone from the secretary’s office?”Quinn Ortega roared, and the staff from the secretary’s office rushed over immediately.He scanned them and grew even angrier. “Where’s Nicole Hayward?” “Secretary Hayward hasn’t arrived yet,” Secretary Emily replied. “Call her,” Quinn Ortega demanded, glaring at Secretary Emily.
She pulled out her phone and dialed my number. After a while, she said with a pained expression, “No one’s answering.”Of course no one was answering. My phone had somehow rolled off somewhere last night. The kidnappers hadn’t found it, and no one was around in the remote wilderness. Who would come to answer it?
“Keep trying. Tell her if she doesn’t show up in half an hour, she doesn’t need to come back,” Quinn Ortega said coldly.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
“Why are you so upset?” Audrey Macy approached, handing Quinn Ortega a box. “Here’s the sandwich I made for you. I forgot to give it to you earlier. “Quinn Ortega’s expression softened. “Have someone else bring it over.””I haven’t eaten either. Let’s eat together.”
They went into the office together.The secretary staff praised them as a perfect match and said that since Mr. Ortega listens to Audrey Macy, it’s important to build a good relationship with her.I listened expressionlessly. They used to flatter me the same way, always putting me in front when Quinn Ortega was in a bad mood. Back then, I was only concerned about Quinn Ortega’s health, not caring about their opinions.
But hearing their praise in person was still unsettling.I didn’t want to see Quinn Ortega and Audrey Macy’s affectionate moments, so I loitered by the office door.I heard a commotion outside and recognized a familiar voice.When I saw Yolanda Robinson, I was startled.What was she doing here?
