I Walked Away And He Lost His Mind (Zephyra and Steven) novel Chapter 823

I asked thoughtfully, “What did they talk about?”

Since Gordon brought it up himself, he would most likely tell me if I asked.

I was desperate to know what secret lay between Steven and Verna.

Gordon’s smile widened slightly. “Are you worried that Mr. Lancaster has feelings for Ms. Garcia?”

Before I could answer, he continued on his own, “Don’t worry, ma’am. Mr. Lancaster has never liked Ms. Garcia. In his heart, there’s only you.”

I wasn’t in the mood for that right now. “Just tell me what they talked about.”

Gordon chuckled. “Mr. Lancaster didn’t even see her. To be more precise, she couldn’t even get past the lobby doors. Not only that, but Mr. Lancaster blocked all her contact information.”

I frowned. “How do you know all this in such detail?”

Gordon gave a helpless smile. “To be honest, Ms. Garcia came to me, asking me to beg Mr. Lancaster to see her. She also told me some things I didn’t understand.”

I was instantly on alert. “What things?”

Seeing how tense I was, Gordon looked a bit puzzled but answered truthfully.

“She said things like Mr. Lancaster isn’t taking care of himself, and if he keeps going this way and doesn’t do something, it will be too late, and his end will be tragic. Something along those lines.”

“Verna was very unstable, shouting at me. I couldn’t understand what she was saying, something about disappearing.”

Disappearing?!

My heart skipped a beat. My body tensed, and my breathing grew shallow. “Was she talking about Steven?”

I stared at my phone, my face turning grim. It wasn't so much anger as it was sadness and disappointment.

Mrs. Spencer knew perfectly well that I hadn't done those things and that I had never mistreated Horace, yet she still chose to condemn me, blocking me without a second thought.

And then she would come asking for my help when she needed it. The whole situation was laughable.

I used to think Horace was obsessive, and now I could see why.

With no other choice, I sent a message to Horace.

He had sent me many messages over the past two days, all of which I had ignored.

The moment I sent my message, he replied instantly. “Zephyra, I need to see you. There’s something important I have to tell you.”
