Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 209

Chapter 209

Artemis lifted his gaze from the pile of documents before him and turned to look at the box clutched in his secretary's hands. His brows slightly raised at the sight of the box.

“Hand it over.”

“Sure.”

After placing the box on the curved desk, the secretary retreated out of the office quietly.

Artemis did not rush to open the box. Instead, he texted Bailey first.

Artemis: Have you arrived at the pharmaceutical factory yet? Be careful on the way.

He managed to get a reply in just ten seconds.

Bailey: Veronique was beaten by her father yesterday. She's not doing so well. I'm going to go over and have a look. Please pass the word to the people over at the pharmaceutical factory that I will only head there in the afternoon.

Artemis reckoned that she was still driving. Hence, he did not reply to her text, fearing that he might distract her.

Then, he tossed his phone aside and picked up the exquisitely wrapped box.

He opened it up and saw that there was only a note written in rather neat handwriting inside.

It said: It is only befitting to marry one's savior.

Artemis took the handwritten note out of the box and turned it over.

As expected, there was the signature of the author of the note: Zoey Shurmer.

She was the eldest daughter of the Shurmer family, one of the Ten Acclaimed Socialites renowned worldwide, and a noble lady who was well-known for her elegant mannerisms.

Artemis' thin lips turned up slightly.

Then, he picked up his phone to browse for Zoey's number and sent a text to her.

Artemis: How are you doing overseas? Once again, thank you for saving my life back then, Ms. Shurmer. I am indebted to you for life. Also, I wish you may find someone whom you love and could share your life with.

After sending the text, he did not sit around to wait for Zoey's reply. Instead, he got up and went around the desk to head out of the office.

At the same time, Dwayne came inside and bumped right into him.

“Where are you going?”

“The Revelle residence.”

Dwayne was rendered speechless.

He widened his eyes in disbelief at Artemis. Has he given up on Bailey? Is he pursuing the daughter of the Revelle family instead?

“Um, there are a few urgent documents that require your signature,” Dwayne said.

“You may sign it,” Artemis stated plainly.

“What the h*ll? Aren't you afraid that there will be some errors in the agreement that will incur billions of losses to the company?” Dwayne groaned.

However, Artemis did not seem to pay heed to him and continued to head out of the office. His voice became more and more distant as he said, “Losing billions is a small price to pay when you finally get the woman you are pursuing.”

Dwayne was speechless.

Is he really thinking to pursue Veronique? What the heck?

Meanwhile, in the infirmary of the Revelle residence, Bailey did a check-up on Zephyr.

“There's nothing wrong with you. You just need to take ample rest here. I've called Zayron on my way here. He's going to be here soon. It has been some time since you guys have seen each other. Why don't the two of you take the time to catch up with each other?” Bailey suggested.

“Thank you, Bailey.”
