Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 756

Liz paused in her tracks, a smile playing on her lips.

“I did knock, Mrs. Laura. You were probably too engrossed in your phone call to hear. I just came in to grab my phone. See, I accidentally left it on the chair.”

Pointing towards the chair, Laura indeed spotted the phone lying in the corner.

Liz picked it up, giving it a little shake.

Laura's face stiffened slightly. “Oh, I see. Well, good luck then, Miss.”

Liz nodded, heading towards the door, then suddenly turned back to Laura.

“Mrs. Laura, please, just call me Liz at work. Thanks.”

With that said, she didn’t wait for Laura's response, her expression soured as Liz left the room.

Back at her desk, Liz quickly skimmed through the project file in her hand.

It was rough and lacked originality.

She swept it aside, deciding to start afresh.

Her phone buzzed. Liz picked it up to find a message from an unknown number.

Curious but slightly annoyed, she opened it.

“When are you treating me to lunch, Ms. Madden?”

Remembering her promise to treat Remington for his help, Liz randomly picked a restaurant and set the time for noon.

Better to get this over with quickly!

Remington's reply came almost instantly.

“I’ll pick you up from your office at lunch.”

Given Remington’s flashy car, Liz wasn’t keen on him picking her up. If anyone from the office saw, it would only invite unnecessary gossip.

She quickly texted back.

“No need. Let’s meet at the restaurant.”

The reply she got back threw her off.

“I’m sorry, who is this?”
