The One He Dismissed Became The One He Died For novel Chapter 240

Only Miles knew how to make it like that.

She took a bite, the familiar, comforting flavor washing over her tastebuds.

Claire stared at the wrapper, then pulled out her phone and glared at the automated message from the cleaning service for a long while.

"Ha..." Claire scoffed. "Sneaky bastard."

If Miles truly hadn't wanted her to know he had come back, he wouldn't have left this sandwich here.

Claire finished the whole thing, walked downstairs, tossed the wrapper in the trash, and snapped a picture of it.

She posted it on her social media feed with the caption: [Disgusting. Save your money!]

The comment section instantly lit up.

[Betty Wade: Haha, it must be truly awful if it earned its own post.]

[Julian Young: Claire, I brought you breakfast.]

[Jared Johnston: Drop the name of the place so I can avoid it too!]

At the hospital's morning staff meeting.

The Chief of Medicine spoke up. "Do we have any volunteers for the upcoming free clinic assignment? If not, we'll just rotate departments."

Jared was happily scrolling through his phone hidden under the table.

A darkly menacing voice suddenly exploded next to his ear.

"Chief, Dr. Johnston says he'd love to go."

The Chief looked from Miles to Jared and nodded enthusiastically. "Everyone, we could all stand to learn a little something from Dr. Johnston's dedication!"

Jared's mind blanked. What absolute sin had he committed this time?

At the OCHH Luxury office.

Claire was reviewing the backlog of orders owed to their clients. They were on the verge of clearing their debts.

Lauren had just returned to launch her career, and her old flame was certainly bending over backwards to help his unattainable ideal.

Julian tested the waters carefully. "Claire, I noticed your wedding ring..." He let his voice trail off. "Did you and Dr. Zimmerman have a fight?"

Claire didn't answer.

"My orders are completely backed up too, and Yosemite Studios just doesn't have the production capacity to take this on."

She forced a smile, pretending to be utterly unfazed.

"It's fine, Yosemite Studios has already helped OCHH enough. I'll figure something out for the Nora & Co. order. If Hurst Garments won't do it, I'll find someone else. There's always a way."

Claire said all the right things, but inside she was burning with absolute fury.

Miles was a total bastard. She was still legally his wife, yet he was publicly funneling all his support to his precious first love.

It was maddening!

Swallowing her anger, Claire forced herself to stay calm. "Betty, go set up meetings with these other clothing manufacturers for me."
