Divorce Me Before Death Takes Me, CEO

Chapter 229

Audrey’s POV

“He’s already talked to Miss Rose about it,” Michael said. ‘Since you have experience with vegetative patients, he thinks you’re perfer to look aftakach Hayes during the ceremony.”

“Miss Sinclair?” Michael’s voice pulled me back. ‘Does this mean you’ll design the rings now?”

“Yes,” I said, realizing I hadn’t actually responded. ‘I’ll start right away.”

I wedged my phone between my ear and shoulder, jotting down notes while sitting cross–legged on my touch.

“Great. Mr. Parker has some specific ideas for the men’s ring…”

I wrote everything down as Michael detailed Blake’s preferences. Already my mind was sketching designs that would complement the women’s ring id created earlier.

“Thanks, Michael. And please tell Mr. Parker I appreciate the chance to care for Rachel.

After hanging up, I stared at my notes. Whatever my feelings about Blake, this was my opportunity to see Rachel again. That’s what mattered.

I spent the next several hours lost in designs, barely noticing the apartment growing darker. My phone’s ring startled me back to reality.

“Audrey, what are you doing?” Ethan’s voice brought an unexpected smile to my face.

“Working.”

“Have you eaten dinner yet?”

I glanced at my watch, surprised to see it was after six. “I haven’t even had lunch.”

“What? Your stomach’s already messed up! You can’t skip meals like this. Where are you? I’m coming to find you and buy you dinner.”

I suddenly realized how hungry I was. “I’m at home.”

“Perfect! I’m right outside your door.”

I hung up and opened my door to find Ethan juggling several grocery bags, wearing a sheepish grin.

“Dinner delivery,” he said, stepping past me into my apartment.

“What’s all this?” I asked, following him to the kitchen.
