The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning (Madelyn) novel Chapter 1054

'I'm late for work.' Kevin thought.

Kevin's lateness was unusual for his flawless record at Jardin Corporation. His punctuality was legendary, making this deviation stand out.

At the office, Blake's red, swollen eyes did not escape Janice's attention. She handed Blake a comforting cup of coffee and asked, "Blake, are you okay? Did something happen with Liam?"

Blake brushed it off, "Just a late night with sad movies. I should go see Ms. Samford now."

However, Blake's meeting with Cecilia was not about work. Cecilia, usually the epitome of corporate professionalism, was dressed casually today. Blake could not help but notice a change in her demeanor.

The conversation took an unexpected turn as Cecilia inquired directly, "Are you dating Kevin?"

Taken aback, Blake struggled to find words, "Ms. Samford..."

Cecilia sat at her desk, clicking through her work email, and said, "Kevin sent me a work-related email this morning. Did you know about that?"

Blake thought, 'Kevin emailing Cecilia is surprising. He's always been loyal to Zach, not Cecilia.

'Everyone wondered if Cecilia would be Mrs. Jardin, but that changed when Madelyn returned, and Zach chose her.

"I'm not always at the company, but I know what's going on; you're my only assistant. I'll ignore your affair with Kevin and act like I don't know. Technically, you both should be fired for breaking the rules. If I say something, not even Zach could save Kevin."

Half an hour later, Blake left Cecilia's office. She was more confused than ever. She wondered, 'How did Cecilia find out about me and Kevin? I was already broken up with him!'

Blake was still in a daze when she returned to her desk, where everyone looked at her strangely.

'Why does everyone seem to be looking at me strangely?' Blake pondered.

She sat at her desk and asked Janice for clarification. Janice simply told her to check her work email.
