Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1408

Lina felt anxious. Zuko wanted to shield their baby from the incident, so he had forbidden her from visiting Renee at the hospital. To keep her occupied, he had even invited Lena over.

Naturally, Lena eagerly agreed to accompany her friend. To her, Renee's suicide attempt was like a ripple on a calm lake—shocking at first, but the shock soon subsided. She couldn't believe Renee genuinely wanted to end her life.

Lena speculated that Renee's actions were meant to get Toph's attention. After all, Renee hadn't achieved her goals yet. Wouldn't it be a waste for her to die like this?

Lena brought the homemade chicken soup to the office, planning to deliver it to Lina during lunch.

However, a colleague from another department stopped her. "You're Lena from the sales department, right?"

Lena was taken aback.

The colleague smiled and said, "I'm Mr. Chriss' secretary. He wants to see you in his office. Come with me!"

Lena clenched her fists, her heart racing.

Elijah's office was below Lina's. It was spacious, but only a couple of higher-ups worked there. His office had a prime location, overlooking the bustling business district and the distant ocean, just like Lina's office above.

The secretary left after escorting Lena to the office.

Lena felt uneasy as she entered slowly.

Elijah hadn't gone for lunch yet—he was engrossed in a document on his computer, reading it meticulously.

"You're here," he said without looking up, his voice dripping with authority.

Lena replied briefly, standing in silence until he finished reviewing the document. He showed no intention of inviting her to sit.
