Chapter 23 A Mother–In–Law’s Visit 1

When Erin returned to her office after getting off the elevator, she saw a takeout container on her desk. It reminded her that she hadn’t had dinner yet. She glanced around and saw that the other colleagues who’d worked overtime with her had all left. She didn’t know who had paid for the food.

Only then did she remember about the order she’d placed for Caleb and quickly went to his office.

Seeing that the lights in Caleb’s office were still on, Erin took a deep breath and gently knocked on the door.

“Come in.” Caleb’s voice was cold and formal.

Pushing the door open, she saw Caleb still working in front of his computer. She said softly. “I’m sorry to disturb you, Mr. Grant. May I ask if you paid for the takeout?”

“Yes.” Caleb replied without looking up.

“Thank you. I’ll pay you back…” Erin took out the money she had prepared from her pocket.

Caleb raised his head and casually said, “Put the money on the coffee table.”

“Okay.”

After putting the money on the coffee table, Erin was about to leave when Caleb suddenly asked. “Where did you go just now? I went out to look for you twice, but you weren’t at your desk.”

Caleb had been looking for her?

Feeling guilty, she stared into space for a while. Quickly, she came up with an excuse. “Oh, I went downstairs. My friend was looking for

Caleb stared at her for a few seconds and said coldly. “Finish the rest of the designs before leaving. I need them in an hour.”
