The Man Who Waited vs. The Man Who Wasted novel Chapter 349

Jocelyn thought about it for a moment.

"Is there an expiration date on this favor?"

"No."

"Great. I'll save it until I figure out what I want."

"Deal."

Julian checked the time.

"It's getting late. Go to sleep. Don't stay up coding."

"Oh, by the way, I need to take tomorrow morning off," Jocelyn added.

"Done."

Jocelyn laughed. "Are you always this easygoing as a boss? You didn't even ask why."

Julian's response was completely earnest.

"With me, you have absolute freedom."

The air suddenly felt a tiny bit too intimate.

Julian cleared his throat gently.

"I mean, the company doesn't micromanage our employees' personal lives. If you need time off, you take it."

Jocelyn smiled.

"I have a check-up."

Because of some spotting earlier in her pregnancy, the doctor had told her to come back for a follow-up.

It was finally time.

Julian paused for a few seconds.

"Let me know the results when you're done."

"Will do. You get some rest too. Goodnight."

The moment she hung up, her phone rang again.

It was Diana.

Jocelyn couldn't be bothered and declined the call.

But Diana kept calling, back-to-back.

Jocelyn almost turned off her phone, but she couldn't bring herself to do it.

Ever since Marcus died, she was terrified of turning off her device, fearing that someone close to her might need her in an emergency.

She finally answered, putting it on speaker.

Diana's enraged screech echoed through the room.

"Jocelyn! What is wrong with you?! Your brother was in trouble and called for help, and you just took the guy who assaulted him and left your own flesh and blood sitting in a police station?!"
