The Day I Stopped Waiting Was the Day He Started Begging novel Chapter 230

She was still entirely free to pursue whatever she wanted.

"Alright, Hunter. I accept."

When Madeline made a decision, she never dragged her feet.

She pulled the employment contract out of her bag and signed it right then and there. "I'll officially join the company as soon as the final installment of the 'She' interview series is published."

The "She" project was her blood, sweat, and tears. Since she started it, she was determined to give it the flawless conclusion it deserved. She wasn't one to abandon her work halfway through.

"There's no rush," Hunter replied with a gentle smile. "Eleanor's birthday is in five days. You can formally resign after the celebration. Whatever works best for your schedule."

"Sounds like a plan."

...

Meanwhile, Caleb and York met up in a private VIP room.

The second he sat down, Caleb fired off a deadly serious question.

"York, if Felicity and Madeline were both drowning, who would you save?"

York shot him a withering look. "What kind of idiotic question is that?"

Who would he choose?

Did that even require a second thought?

The answer was so blindingly obvious it wasn't even a choice.

But Caleb stubbornly demanded an answer. "Your answer dictates what I'm about to show you. You have to tell me."

"I'd save Madeline, obviously. If you ask me something that stupid again, I'm going to beat the living hell out of you."

Caleb gave him a heavy stare before unlocking his tablet and playing a surveillance clip.

The footage was straightforward. Felicity was shown tampering with the cables and power strips on the set.

And the exact spot she rigged was where Madeline stood just moments later.

If York hadn't shown up to protect Madeline, she would have been killed instantly.

York's expression immediately darkened, the sheer murderous intent radiating off him causing Caleb to practically suffocate in the freezing atmosphere.

It was the first time he had ever seen York this livid.

But then again, Felicity had brought this upon herself. She had targeted the one person York valued above all else.
