Even after ten days, Danrique still had not returned. The man seemed quite busy. At first, he would call Francesca every day because he missed her, even though it was only for a few minutes.
After a while, Danrique just stopped calling.
Francesca forced herself to ignore the man, but that only lasted for two days before she started sending him messages.
The woman tried to convince herself that Danrique only ignored her messages because he was busy dealing with urgent matters and that he would contact her as soon as he had the time.
However, she still had not heard from the man even after another two days.
That was when Francesca began to get anxious. Worried that something might have happened to Danrique, she reached out to Gordon to confirm the situation.
Gordon then assured Francesca that Danrique was busy but fine and that the man would contact her in a few days. Danrique also wanted Gordon to remind the woman to stop worrying about him and focus on her recovery instead.
Francesca immediately grew angry when she heard all that, so she had Gordon ask Danrique why the man had time to contact his subordinate but not her.
"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave, Ms. Felch.” Gordon was not a sensitive man, so he had no idea that Francesca was upset.
"Sure. You may leave," responded Francesca.
However, the woman would call for Gordon once again before long. Bored, Francesca was going through the news while lying on the sofa when she came across an article about Hazel visiting a branch of Lindberg Corporation in Summerbank, M Nation.
Hazel kept a high profile by having the media take photos of her attending local banquets and meeting with local politicians and wealthy businessmen. The press even hailed her as a capable businesswoman of the new generation and someone worthy of Danrique.
Francesca became upset again after seeing the news, so she immediately summoned Gordon back to ask if the article was true.
As a straightforward person, Gordon did not think twice before informing Francesca that Hazel had indeed gone to Summerbank to visit the branch and that the press was responsible for the comment on Hazel's compatibility with Danrique.
"So Danrique's in Summerbank too?" questioned Francesca, who was already boiling with anger.
