Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 705

Chapter 705 Look For Him

Deirdre shook herself awake and unbuckled her seatbelt. "Oh, God. Sorry. I was lost in thoughts. Thanks for bringing me home.”

"Don’t mention it.” Sam hesitated for a moment before asking, "Um, Miss McKinnon, you don't look so good. Are you okay? Did Mr. Brighthall say something demeaning again?"

Deirdre wished that was the extent of his humiliation back there. She wished that was all it took for this to end.

But Brendan clearly enjoyed dragging it out. Deirdre resented him for it, yet she was clearly too hapless to do anything about it.

She could not say much to Sam, so she smiled and assured him that she was fine. Pulling out her phone, she asked, "Can you help me remove Brendan's number from my blacklist?"

Sam had never worked with an old model before this, but it didn't take him long to get used to it. It took him only a minute.

Deirdre thanked him and left.

Then, for days on end, Deirdre lived in a constant state of anxiety and distress. She would jump, prepare herself mentally, and then proceed to answer any call from her phone. What she did not expect, though, was that none of the calls was Brendan's. It was either Declan or Glenna on the other end.

A week passed, and Deirdre began to wonder whether Brendan had forgotten all about her. It was a good thing, but Kyran continued coming home late and leaving early in the morning, which broke her heart.

Then, one late afternoon, she finally received a call from Brendan's number. She was almost too excited. "Brendan!"

There was a pause from the other end. When the other party spoke, the voice was that of a stranger’s. "Miss McKinnon? Hello. I'm Mr. Bright hall's assistant."

"His assistant?”

She had never heard this voice before, but it was unmistakably Brendan’s number. Biting her lips, she discarded caution and asked, "Where’s Brendan? Why isn't he the one talking?”
