Chapter 2022
“No,” Rosalynn gathered herself, her voice maintaining its usual tone. “Maybe I didn’t sleep enough last night. Head to the restaurant first, I’ll be there
soon.”
“Sure, take your time, no rush. Wayne’s voice was incredibly gentle.
Rosalynn heard him and it felt as if a knife was slowly carving into her heart.
The call ended.
“Mike, you’ve been working hard these days. Go home and rest.” Rosalynn paused for a moment. Rest well, it might be a long while before you get another break.”c2
“Understood.” Mike nodded.
After hesitating for a while, he finally said, “Miss, the Jared Group will always have your back, no matter what happens, no matter what decision you
make
Rosalynn gave Mike a smile and a nod. Mike then left.
Rosalynn sat in her car. It felt like an invisible hand was choking her.
After calming herself down, she headed to the restaurant where they had agreed to meet.
As soon as she parked the car, she saw Ableson
Deep down, she hoped that the videos Mike found were related to another personality of his
Rosalynn opened the car door, “Ableson.”
As Ableson tumed his head, Rosalynn noticed his sour expression.
“What’s wrong? Where’s the kid?” Rosalynn looked behind him.
“He didn’t show up. President Silverman just called and told me the kid said he would come himself.” Ableson’s face was stern,
“How could he not show up? Was the address wrong?” Rosalynn asked in a deep voice.
I went to the address given by President Silverman. I called the kid when I got there, but the number President Silverman gave me does not exist!” Ableson’s forehead furrowed. T’m sure I dialed the number President Silverman gave me, look…
Ableson showed her the chat history with Wayne. Rosalynn looked down at it.
Without saying a word, she took out her own phone and dialed the number.
Sorry, the number you dialed does not exist….
The midday sun was still quite hot, yet Rosalynn felt as if she had fallen into an icy cave, her teeth chattering from the cold.
“Madam, are you alright?” Ableson noticed Rosalynn’s pale face and was startled. “Are you feeling unwell?”
“No…” Rosalynn waved her hand. Then she headed straight for the elevator.
Maybe the number was wrong. Didn’t Ableson say that the kid was coming himself?
That’s what Rosalynn thought. But her steps quickened.
Ableson, a tall man, had to half-run to keep up.
