Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie)

Chapter 17

Although my shopping experience turned out fairly annoying because of Jewel,

it didn't affect my appetite. I ate a large plate of pasta before returning to the office. Just as I arrived, I received a call from Bree.

Since I hadn't been home for two days, it was normal for her to call me.

"Hey, Bree."

"Maddie, don't keep staying at your friend's place. Come home today. I made ravioli filled with fennel and ricotta."

Bree's words made me want to laugh. It seemed Chris had already found an excuse for me not being at home.

I've already decided to move back to my parents' house, so naturally, I had to go back to Gildon Estate to pack things up. I didn't say anything else. "Bree, I'll be home tonight."

As I was leaving work, Kara came over to me. "Maddie, are you okay?"

"What's wrong?" I was puzzled.

"You know how everyone in the company loves gossiping. Don't pay them any attention. I've seen just how much Mr. Gildon spoils you a lot."

Kara's words made me reach out to her.
