She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 872

Melanie hadn't seen Everett in a few days.

He hadn't shown up for work at the company either.

The main issue was that he hadn't asked for time off.

However, Everett was now the COO of the Royce Group, a high-ranking executive.

Whether it was for personal or professional reasons, she didn't feel the need to pry.

So, getting a sudden call from him was quite a surprise.

"Everett?"

"It's me."

Although it was just two brief words, Melanie could hear the undeniable urgency in his voice.

"Did something happen?"

"Where are you right now?"

"I just got off the plane."

"Then head back to the office immediately. We'll talk when you get here."

"...Alright."

Melanie hung up the phone, completely baffled.

"What's going on? Why is he acting so tense and secretive?"

"What's wrong?"

Hearing her mutter to herself, Preston couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"It's nothing. Everett just called and told me to get back to the office immediately. He said it was urgent."

"That's perfect. I've already got the car ready."

Hearing his words, Melanie suddenly realized that she had unknowingly followed him to an unfamiliar vehicle.

It was a brand-new imported sports car.

"Is this your car? Did you just buy it?"

"Gabriel gave it to me."

Melanie couldn't hold back a chuckle.

She figured Gabriel must have bought the car to apologize for interrupting their conversation last time, fearing Preston would be upset!

She remembered casually bringing them up during a chat with Preston last time.

But not only had he refused to answer, he had radiated such a chilling aura that the entire atmosphere between them had turned incredibly awkward.

So this time, she held back and kept her questions to herself.

It was Preston's private business, after all.

She didn't have any special relationship with him right now, so why should she pry into his personal life?

Even though she warned herself to let it go, the harder she tried to suppress her curiosity, the stronger it bounced back.

Riding in the flashy imported sports car, Melanie returned to the Royce Group.

"Hey, hey, look at that! What a sick ride!"

"Is that a Lamborghini?"

"Idiot! That's the Koenigsegg Jesko. It costs millions of dollars!"

"Holy crap! How can Assistant Whitmore afford a car that expensive? Obviously, it doesn't belong to Ms. Royce."

"Of course not. Not even Ms. Royce could afford that!"

"Could it be... that Assistant Whitmore's family made a comeback?"
