Chapter 24
He took a sip from the cup and casually clicked open the photo. The next second, the water choked his throat, and the water in his hand splashed out. He covered his mouth and coughed awkwardly
Everyone looked over, and it took Liam a while to stop coughing, his face pale.
People held their breath, thinking Mr. Reed was unhappy with the previous remark.
Liam looked gloomy, whispered something to Owen, and then turned around and said slightly, “Continue.”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, while Owen quietly left the conference room.
In the reception room downstairs.
Celeste sat on the sofa, flipping through the magazines on the table out of boredom.
The sound of hurried footsteps came from behind, followed by Owen’s voice, “Ma’am, why didn’t you call before coming over?”
The receptionist who led the way was shocked! So she was indeed Mr. Reed’s wife!
Then why did Mr. Reed say he didn’t know her?!
Never mind, all that didn’t matter The important thing was that he had just taken that kind of photo for Mrs. Reed!
The receptionist turned pale, feeling his career was over. What game were these two people playing?
Celeste put down the magazine, ‘I did call, but Owen must have been too busy to hear it.”
Owen actually knew Celeste had contacted him, but Mr. Reed ordered him not to respond, so he had to act like he didn’t hear that.
Pretending not to sense the sarcasm in Celeste’s words, Owen continued, “I’m really sorry, I was in a meeting and left my phone in the office. It’s also my fault for not explaining clearly, as the secretary and operator are new here, so there might be some oversights. I apologize, ma’am, please follow me.”
