Take Me Away novel Chapter 55

At two o'clock in the morning, Spencer walked into his room, feeling worn out.

When he was about to take a shower, he saw the notification light of his cell phone on the table in the living room. He went over and picked it up. It was a text message from an unknown number, but he knew who it was.

The text read, "How's everything going at the base, Spencer? When are you coming back? I'm working now. Oh, by the way, I met Fiona in the company. She seems to be close to our boss, but I assure you that I won't let her get into any trouble. Missing you."

After he finished reading the message, Spencer took off his hat and sat down on the couch holding onto his phone. The unexpected return of Celine stirred his feelings for her. The sudden flashback made him forget that he was married, and he almost lost control. He desperately wanted to ask if she had been okay in the past six years.

However, nothing had changed in those six years. He still couldn't be with Celine. Six years ago, he had been too young to fight against his grandpa and his father. Now, he was married and had a responsibility to Fiona. His reasons for marrying her didn't matter. He couldn't fight for Celine as he had done before.

He sighed, wanting to find out where Celine worked now. On his mobile phone, he opened a search engine recently launched by Terence's company and soon found out where Celine worked.

The search engine results popped up on the screen. "ZR Company, the largest jewelry company in the country... Their legal representative is Charles Wen."

"Charles Wen?" Spencer uttered the name with a frown. After thinking for a few seconds, his eyes suddenly lit up. Ryan Wen, Charles Wen... They had the same surname. 'What is the relationship between them?' he thought to himself.

Spencer still looked a little tired, but his eyes had become bright. He stared closely at the screen of his cell phone as his finger clicked on it. His expression was serious. After a while, he finally found the result he wanted.

He found out that Charles and Ryan were indeed half-brothers! 'However, why does Fiona also work in this company?' he wondered. 'Internship?'

While he thought of this, Spencer forgot that he had only wanted to find out about the company Celine worked for. He felt a heaviness in his chest but there was no place for him to vent his anger. How he wished he could question Fiona right now!

Fiona was sound asleep in the bedroom

when the phone on the bedside table rang loudly

and flashed in the darkness, waking her up.

She rubbed her eyes as she struggled to wake up from her deep slumber. Then, she grabbed her phone and looked at the screen. She frowned and thought, 'It's past two o'clock in the morning. Why is Spencer calling me at this hour? What could have happened?'

At the thought that something might have happened to Spencer, Fiona's heart suddenly jumped. She quickly picked up the phone and said in an anxious voice, "Hello? Spencer, is that you? What's wrong?"

"Fiona!" Spencer roared angrily on the other side of the line. "Are you working as an intern in Ryan's company?"

Gripping tightly onto her phone, Fiona was baffled by Spencer's anger. With a puzzled look on her face, she asked, "What did you say?"

"Did you go to ZR Company for an internship?" Spencer asked. His voice was still loud and powerful, almost piercing through Fiona's eardrum.

"Yes," Fiona replied lightly. "I'm working there as an intern. Why? What's the matter? Is something wrong?"

"I think you just don't want to give up. You approached Ryan on purpose. Don't you know that you are married?" The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He paced back and forth in the room. "I advise you to quit as soon as possible, or I will not spare you!"

After hearing what he said, Fiona thought he was being ridiculous. She asked, "So that's why you called me at midnight?"

"Can't I?" Spencer snorted. "I just finished what I was going to do in the base. Am I not allowed to call you? And before I hang up, tell me this. Have you ever cheated on me?"

"Spencer, don't insult me! Don't push me too far! Do you think I'm like you?" Fiona retorted. When she recalled Celine's provocation today, she was infuriated. She couldn't help but be angry at Spencer. It was late at night, and he had called her only to make things difficult for her again. Neither of them would let her live in peace.

"I found the internship by myself, and it has nothing to do with Ryan. Why should I waste this opportunity? Can you stop making my life difficult? It's too late. I need to go to bed," she said stubbornly.

"Fiona! I'm not done yet! Does Celine work in the company too?" Spencer asked through gritted teeth.

"Did she tell you about my internship?" Fiona asked, tightening her grip on the phone in her hand.

"Yes!" Spencer said loudly. "She has just returned from abroad, and she is not familiar with the domestic matters. Since you are her assistant, you should help her. Besides, our marriage is a big blow to her. You'd better behave yourself in front of her. Don't make her sad and don't bully her."

'Don't make her sad? Don't bully her?'

Fiona sneered, covering up the trace of pain that she felt in her heart. She said indifferently, "I know. Can I go back to sleep now?"

Maybe it was because the night was too quiet, but there was still a trace of displeasure in her voice. Spencer thought that maybe he had said a bit too much. 'Fiona is not a troublemaker. She barely knows how to handle herself. How can she bully Celine? Besides, she is young. How could she?'

"I'll hang up if you don't say anything," Fiona said angrily. She held the phone close and waited for a reply.

"Don't you have anything to tell me?" Spencer asked in a frustrated tone.
