The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 2716

"Hello, I'm looking for Mr. Zeke."

I took out some free time and went looking for Gareth.

The housekeeper looked at me carefully and recognized me before slowly responding, "I'm sorry. Miss Lane but Mr. Zeke is on a business trip and won’t be around for a few days. I’m afraid you will have to come back in two days."

"How unfortunate, then I'll come back another day." I thanked the housekeeper and turned to leave. I bumped into a woman who had flowers in her hand when I reached an intersection. "I'm sorry, are you all right?"

However, in the next second, it was as if the woman had just woken up from a dream and she shook her head. "I'm sorry, that was a little gaffe for me. Gareth is on a business trip. You can come back in two days."
