The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison) novel Chapter 205

The curly-haired assistant was shaking like a leaf.

"Mr. Rodriguez, the boss said, during the meeting, any incoming calls..."

"Fire her," Harrison said curtly.

He didn't even get a good look at the new secretary before he gave the cold-hearted order.

Alexander and Samuel were left scratching their heads.

Just because he missed one call, he's flipping his lid?

Although Harrison usually had a frosty demeanor, the benefits for all Rodriguez Group employees were top-notch.

Especially for newbies, who were treated to the company's people-first approach.

Joining the Rodriguez Group meant feeling like you belonged.

If a newcomer messed up, Harrison would usually give them a chance, not provide them with the boot.

What on earth was going on?

Alexander tried to console the teary-eyed secretary and glared at Harrison, "What's got your knickers in a twist today, mate? Who pissed you off?"

Harrison didn't respond.

He was busy checking flight schedules on his phone.

He wanted to book the earliest flight to Warmville.

Unfortunately, there were no flights to Warmville today.

He quickly called his bodyguard, Jackson Thomas, "Jackson, get the plane ready. We're taking off in half an hour."

"Mr. Rodriguez, are you using your own plane?" Jackson asked.

Harrison didn't have time to chit-chat, "Prepare for Warmville. I'll deal with air traffic control. You handle the pre-flight stuff."

Even though he had his own plane, every take-off required dealing with a lot of paperwork.

He had to save every second he could. He couldn't wait any longer.

"Mr. Rodriguez, which plane should I check?" Jackson asked.

"All of them," Harrison said.

With different models parked at the airport and not knowing which one could take off immediately, he had to check them all.

If there were a minor malfunction, it would take some time to fix.

Having all planes checked would ensure at least one could take off immediately.

Seeing Harrison in such a hurry, Alexander, who was listening to the call, started to worry.

"Harrison, is something wrong with Roxanne? Why are you rushing off to Warmville?"

Harrison didn't have time to answer and left quickly after hanging up the phone.

"Did something happen to Roxanne?" Samuel asked.

Alexander mused, "Looks like it."

Seeing the secretary who'd been scolded was about to cry, Alexander consoled her, "Don't take what the boss said to heart. He's not as cold-hearted as he seems. Just do your job. But pay more attention, alright? His wife is what matters most. If she calls, let him know immediately, got it?"

The secretary nodded.

The fact that Mr. Harrison cared about his wife most, she noted that.

From then on, the rumor that Harrison loved and spoiled his wife spread throughout the company.

...

Roxanne had been waiting until midnight, waking up in a daze.

She checked her phone.

There were no replies from Harrison.

She felt somewhat disappointed.

Was he mad at her and didn't want to deal with her anymore?

She didn't want to miscarry either.

Perhaps it was because their baby had vanished that Harrison was blaming her?

If he wasn't blaming her, if he wasn't angry, why wouldn't he reply?

She found herself increasingly concerned about his feelings, fearful of losing him.

But she hadn't been like this before.

Harrison arrived in Warmville around 1 a.m. and went from the airport to the hospital where Roxanne was.

In fact, even if Roxanne hadn't messaged him, he would have known about her miscarriage after his meeting.
