Secretary’s Secret Lover by Zayla Quinn novel Chapter 240

Chapter 240 I Never Want to Be Your Friend

Yvette's face was deathly pale. She clenched her fists tightly, and her body trembled with anger.

Meanwhile, Lance blurted out all those acerbic words because of his pent- up frustration.

But the moment he saw Yvette's shoulders trembling uncontrollably, he could not help but feel pain in his heart.

Lance thought, why do I find her piteous now? How useless of me!

I have made up my mind to be nonchalant and brush her aside. But right now, all I want is to hold her in my arms and keep her sweet.

As he thought, he slowly raised his hand, which Yvette dodged right off.

Then Yvette raised her head and said determinedly, "Lance, I will not sleep with you.”

She thought, he is about to get married. There is no way I would be his mistress, no matter how low self-esteem I have.

Lance's hand froze in mid-air, and his expression was extremely gloomy.

He thought, / shouldn't have felt sorry for her like that! Look how she treated me!

"Bang!"

Lance slammed the door.

Everything became silent.

Worry over Ellen once again surged through Yvette.

Then, standing still where she was, Yvette lost her composure and burst into tears.

She thought, what should I do...

Just like this, Yvette tossed and turned in bed all night. And since she didn't have to work the next day, she rushed to the hospital to visit Ellen's parents early in the morning.

Finally, she heard some news.

It was said that Jamie's fiancée was injured and hospitalized. Due to that, Yvette thought, Ellen being detained must have something to do with this.

However, Yvette failed to find out which hospital Jamie's fiancée was in.

That afternoon, just when she felt lost, Charlie called.

Yvette picked it up, but both of them remained silent.

Finally, Charlie spoke, "Yvette, how are you?"

Yvette said coldly, "Very well. I have already transferred the medical expenses into your hospital account."

Charlie paused before sighing, "Yvette, you know I do not care about that."

But Yvette did not want to catch up with him since his lying to her had made her bear him a grudge and find him unpredictable.

She said coldly, "Mr. Raison, don't call me if you just want to have a chat. I'm hanging up now."

Yvette calling him "Mr. Raison" made Charlie feel alienated.

Charlie, depressed, said, "Yvette, I can help you."

"What?"

"I know what happened to Ellen. I can help you."

Yvette's heart jolted. Then without even asking him why he knew about that, she said anxiously, "Really?"

"Yes, come find me." Charlie gave her an address and then hung up the phone.

Yvette took a taxi to that address immediately.

The address was his venture capital firm.

The firm was a medium-sized one. And when Yvette arrived, a curvy secretary named Talia Blakey led her into Charlie's office.

Charlie was sitting on his chair. Seeing that Yvette had arrived, he rose from the chair. But since his legs had not fully recovered, he walked slowly to the sofa, sat down, and signaled to her to sit down as well.

After having sat down, Yvette asked Charlie, "Do you know how Ellen is now in there?"

"Not quite well actually."

It turned out that Charlie knew the whole thing rather well. He even knew that Ellen had injured Fiona.
