Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband by Devocean

Chapter 368:

The assistant felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. He checked it, his eyebrows lifting as he read the message: “Elyse has been dismissed.” Theo’s frown deepened. He’d only been away on business for a few days. How did Elyse end up getting dismissed? Dismissed? What happened? He drummed his fingers on the desk.

The assistant hesitated before explaining, “Apparently, she was targeted. Her talent rubbed some people the wrong way, so the orchestra higher-ups found a reason to dismiss her.” He paused, then continued, “But something must have happened to her. My source says she didn’t report to the orchestra on time, giving them a reason to push her out.”

“Didn’t report on time? That’s not like her,” Theo mulled it over. “Keep digging,” he leaned forward, adding, “If you can’t get anything directly on her, investigate the people around her. There’s got to be a clue.”

The assistant nodded and left the office, closing the door softly behind him.

Just as Theo returned to his work, the receptionist called. He answered with an edge to his voice, “What is it?”

Sounding uneasy, she replied, “Mr. Ward, Kaelyn Bennett is here again. She insists on seeing you.”
