Chapter 49

“Mrs. Hilary, if there’s nothing else, I’ll just…”

“How come you didn’t bring Cecilia along to the party today?”

The icy line popped out of the receiver, and in the blink of an eye, I recognized Hogan’s voice.

Thinking back to the wealthy ladies who stood with Hilary earlier that evening, I quickly figured out what was going on.

It seemed that Hogan wasn’t just trying to get Cecilia into the high society scene; he wanted Hilary to take her under her wing and show her the ropes.

“She was off work by the time our gathering started. If she’s going to be late, might as well not come at all.”

Hilary’s response was quite blunt.

It was no secret that she was not Cecilia’s biggest fan.

Since it was a private conversation, it didn’t feel right for me to eavesdrop, so I discreetly hung up the phone.

The next day at the office, I shared the experience I got from the comic expo with Wallis, and then we discussed the team building event.

“Let’s hit up a B&B in the nearby mountain. Nice scenery, and we can have a bonfire party or soak in a hot spring in the evening. Chill out and unwind.”

We were setting off tomorrow morning.

I had no objections. When it came to having fun, Wallis had the final say.

She basically toured the whole country in the first six months after her divorce.
