Lost Me Gained Regret

Chapter 404

Jeff had already been promoted and was now the Deputy Director of the Design Department, with his own office.

Seeing me arrive at the company through the floor–to–ceiling windows, he couldn’t contain his excitement and rushed to Christine’s office. “Ms. Webster! You finally came to the office. I’ve been looking forward to your return every day.”
