The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric) novel Chapter 1881

The assistant scratched his head and looked around the conference room.

"Mr. Sheldon was just in here, but he just disappeared in a blink of an eye. He’s not i n his office either since I just came from there."

The assistant somehow felt that Yvette's smile was not a real smile, so he dared not joke with her.

Yvette's heart sank completely.

Her eyes turned gloomy.

The assistant said, "Ms. Quimbey, why don’t you go back to your office and wait. I'll give Mr. Sheldon a call.”

Yvette refused.

"No need. You can go about your work. I’ll just contact him myself.”

The assistant saw no fluctuations in her expression. She did not look like she was angry.

He nodded before he turned around and went about his business.

Yvette paused. She had a bad premonition.

Lance was not in the conference room or his office, so where would he be?

Her hands that were carrying the coffee were unconsciously sweating.

Yvette pretended as if nothing was wrong and wandered around.

Everyone was used to seeing Yvette's casual look, so they were not concerned about it.

When she walked to the stairway in a more remote corner, she seemed to hear a deliberately lowered voice coming from inside.

Her heart trembled. She then lightened her footsteps and went closer.

The stairway was surrounded by miscellaneous items.

Yvette stood there and leaned toward the door.

Finally, she heard a voice inside.

Sure enough, it was Lance's ex-girlfriend, Whitney Locke.

"I know that you have no choice but to agree to that marriage alliance. I really didn't mean to take your mother's money. Your mother was the one who tricked me b y saying that she'd agree to our marriage if I went abroad for two years of further studies. But as soon as I left, you got married. What's this all about?"

Whitney cried with sorrow.
