Chapter 48 The Tech Team’s Shock
“Where did she go? Tell me. I might accept a coffee bribe.”
“I really don’t know.”
“Are you sure?” Will smiled warmly, but he was actually very cunning.
Everyone who worked with Draven was sharp, so Sacha quickly thought of something that used to happen often.
“Maybe she’s delivering a meal. Ayla often slipped out during lunch breaks before. Everyone in the secretary’s office knows.
“But Ayla hasn’t done it in two weeks. Today’s an exception, and it was something gentle on the stomach. Maybe someone at home is sick? If that’s the case, let’s just cut her some slack?”
Ayla didn’t bring one today either.
But she didn’t believe Will would check the security cameras just because she skipped work for an hour.
Will thought of Troy. It made sense if she was delivering food to him.
Ayla kept her marriage secret, so Sacha definitely didn’t know.
Will suddenly felt a bit worried.
Troy walked around with Skyla like he wanted the whole world to know they were together, not caring at all about Ayla’s feelings.
If Ayla kept giving without getting anything in return, she’d be the one getting hurt.
Will thought about it, then went to tell Draven.
Draven listened with a confused look. “What does their marriage have to do with me?”
Will met his cold stare, which only grew colder the longer he looked. He stiffened. “Mr. Storm, I-”
“What’s next? You gonna report her lunch menu to me too?”
“No!” Will was too ashamed to even lift his head.
Draven looked at him still standing there. “You got nothing better to do?”

Will ran off immediately-and even finished Ayla’s tasks for her.

The tech division of Alvarado Group was right next to the Global Finance Center.
Rolf got Halle’s message and waited at the café downstairs.
He’d been interviewing people every day lately, and he was already numb to it. There were plenty of smart people in the field, but people like Skyla were rare.
Now he was about to meet someone even more impressive than Skyla, so he was a little
nervous.
For a tech company, top talent is everything.
Even Rolf had to show some respect when facing a real expert.
While lost in thought, Rolf suddenly spotted a familiar figure walking straight toward him. He instantly frowned with annoyance.
Ayla had pre-ordered two coffees on the app. She was here, but one was still being made.
She stood to the side and suddenly felt someone staring at her.
Ayla looked over, and Rolf spoke first, “No need to apologize.”
Ayla was baffled.
Apologize for what?
Who’s apologizing to whom?
Is he saying I should apologize to him?
When Ayla didn’t respond, Rolf looked away and fell silent.
Yesterday, he couldn’t understand why Ayla acted like a mad dog, snapping at him nonstop. Usually, Ayla would consider his status and try to please him-she’d never dare talk back.
The sudden attitude change had to mean Troy warned her. That’s probably why she looked
his schedule to come find him.
up
He had to admit-Ayla really listened to Troy,
If they were a loving couple, Ayla taking her husband’s words to heart would be understandable, and maybe even make singles jealous.

But they weren’t. Acting like this only made Ayla look desperate. People would look down on her.
Thinking this, Rolf scoffed and took a slow sip of his coffee.
He checked his watch. It was already the time he set with Halle.
But the person hadn’t arrived yet.
“How much longer?”
Half a minute later, Halle replied, “Five minutes
Five minutes was fine. Not too long to wait.

Why is half of each of these chapters missing? The story sort of trails off in the middle of the chapter. That’s unfortunate....
