Forbidden Heat novel Chapter 182

The door clicked close behind me signally the formal end to my job interview. I heaved a loud sigh as I maintained a straight back and walked away from the President’s office towards the elevator where her secretary was waiting to take me back down to the lobby.

“Thank you so much for your time today,” I thanked the secretary politely.

“No worries. I hope the interview went well,” the secretary, a woman who was probably in her forties, replied with a gentle smile.

“I hope so too. Thank you!” I replied politely.

The interview lasted longer than I had anticipated, I hope Edward isn’t bored of waiting. I picked up my mobile and dialed his number. I couldn’t wait to tell him all about the interview.

“Edward?” I spoke into the phone.

“The number you’ve dialed is currently out of service area…” a machine voice answered me instead of Edward.

Why isn’t Edward picking up? Is his phone out of battery?

Maybe I should look around here for him. This building was huge but I’m sure he’s hanging around here somewhere just waiting for me.

I hurriedly walked around the lobby of the building looking for Edward. I couldn’t find him anywhere in the lobby or at the cafes and small shops located on the same floor. With a sigh, I headed towards the building exit. Perhaps Edward was waiting outside.

There were many cars parked out in front of the building but as far as my eyes could see, I didn’t see Edward or his car. Great. These heels are beautiful but walking around too much in them was starting to become a nuisance.

I guess I’ll go around the building in my one last attempt to find him. If I don’t, I’ll just wait for him at one of the sofas in the lobby waiting area.

With my heels clicking against the pavement, I began circling around the side of the building. When I was about to round the bend towards the back of the building, I spotted Edward.

“Ed…ward…” his name died on my lips when I realized that Edward was not alone.
