Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband by Devocean

Chapter 101:

Knowing Elyse was married, the girl nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll fill in Elyse once she’s back.” After hanging up, she replayed Jayden’s frosty voice and couldn’t help but shiver.

“Thanks a bunch, Mr. Reed. It’s a real honor for us to partner up with the TV station,” Kai said, blushing from the wine. He rose, holding his glass. “Hey, everybody, let’s raise a toast to Mr. Reed. Thank him for giving us this shot!”

The orchestra members raised their glasses in gratitude to Barnes Reed, a director at the TV station. A little tipsy, Barnes waved his hand. “I picked you because your guys are sharp and on the ball. I dig your attitude. Otherwise, why would I go for you instead of all the other orchestras out there?”

Kai was thrown off. Didn’t the TV station approach them? They had never taken the initiative to get this deal. Too sloshed to think straight, Kai forced a smile and kept drinking.

Suddenly, Barnes stood. “I’m feeling a bit woozy. I have to go now.”

“Sure thing,” Kai replied, not catching on. A few minutes later, the door opened, and four bouncers barged in.

“Elyse!” Jayden wheeled himself in and scanned the room anxiously, only to find Elyse not there. The orchestra members were baffled until the one who had received Jayden’s call on Elyse’s phone woke up with a jolt. She blurted out, “Elyse hasn’t come back from the bathroom!”

Jayden frowned. “How long has she been gone? Why hasn’t she returned?” It dawned on the girl that Elyse had been missing for quite some time.
