Chapter 1213
Blake had just sent out the email, but within just ten minutes, she had
already received confirmation that one of their novels had been
greenlit for a major film adaptation and television series.
She was not surprised, but she heard cheers outside her office.
Perplexed, she shrugged her shoulders.
She thought, ‘It’s just the approval of a project, what’s there to be so
overjoyed about?’
However, at that moment, she heard someone outside the door say,
Oh my goodness, I thought our company was almost done for.”
“Yeah! I intended to resign.”
“Mr. Xander hasn’t been in the company for the past two days, and
Ms. Dion was absent for over half a month. Our company hasn’t been
performing well. My most recent paycheck was only half of what I
made in the previous month. I was devastated.”
“Exactly! People from Jardin Corporation have never taken us
seriously. Last week, I sent an email to Mr. Xander, and he told me he
hasn’t gotten any response from Jardin Corporation yet. And it’s been
half a month since that contract matter was brought up, I’m so
speechless.”
“I heard that Mr. Xander took leave recently to take care of Ms. Dion,
who was sick. If only I had such a good partner. Mr. Xander is simply
the epitome of all boyfriends; he’s so good to Ms. Dion, handsome, gentle, and attentive. I’m so
jealous.”
“Wait a minute! When did Mr. Xander and Ms. Dion get together? Why
didn’t I know? Isn’t the company against office romances?”
“Shh, keep your voices down, don’t let Ms. Dion hear.”
Blake wondered, ‘Have so many people been misunderstanding my
relationship with Liam?’
She grabbed her phone and scrolled through her conversation with Kevin. The conversation was
mostly filled with her messages, except for the period when she first joined the company. She did not
want to switch to a new phone or risk damaging her current one, just so she could keep these chat
records. She was afraid that the only thing she
had left to help her remember Kevin would be lost.
Blake pondered, ‘If I’d known he’d be away for so long, I would’ve
taken more pictures of him back then.’
She only found herself missing him when she was not busy. Now, looking at those messages, a flood of
memories suddenly rushed
into her mind.
She had not changed; every day, she would take a little time to tell him what she had done and what
had happened. It was like talking to herself because Kevin never replied.
Blake took a deep breath and put down her phone. She wanted to
focus on her work and strive to become as successful as him in the
company.
She was lost in her thoughts, ‘Kevin, no matter how long you disappear, I won’t give up on you. I’ll wait
for you to come back!’
After she finished her work for the morning, she walked out of the
office and said, “I’ve ordered some snacks for all of you, remember to
collect them.”
“Wow, thanks, boss.”
‘Boss?’ Blake thought. This address caught her slightly off guard.
She smiled and nodded. “You’re welcome.”
After that, someone with a strong presence suddenly walked in from
outside. Everyone turned to the entrance, and they were all stunned.
They quickly stood up and said, “Ms. Samford!”
Cecilia was staring at Blake. “I’m here to talk to Ms. Dion. You’ve all
worked hard. So, take a break; you don’t need to mind us.” Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
A few minutes later, Blake followed Cecilia and left. They took the
elevator to the parking lot, where Susan was waiting in the car in the
driver’s seat.
Susan was surprised that someone like Blake would even be allowed
to sit with Cecilia. However, she held back her emotions as Cecilia
was present.
Blake asked, “Why’d you come here? Do you have something to talk to
me about?”
