Married To My Ex-Husband’s Rival by Jobet GraySon

Chapter Ninety Six

Amber’s POV.

As I excused myself from Richard and Bianca, I suddenly felt propelled by urgency and anger. The fact

that Kayden had just once again intercepted my happiness and was trying to ruin Richard’s family made

me so furious and also drove me to reach out to Antoinette and inquire about the progress of the

mission I had entrusted to her.

As I settled on the edge of my bed, my fingers trembled slightly as I dialed Antoinette’s number,

tapping my feet continuously on the tiled floor. Since I arrived in Italy, I have been having way too

much fun, and I haven’t bothered to check in on Antoinette and the mission I had entrusted to her. At

a point, I had even forgotten about it because of how immersed I had become in my short vacation.

The first ring of the phone echoed in the silence of the room, unanswered, leaving a sense of unease gnawing at me. Anxious thoughts flitted through my mind as I tried once more. The second ring met with Antoinette’s voice on the other end of the line.

“Long time no hearing from you, boss!” she exclaimed almost immediately after she picked up. “It’s been way too long since we last spoke, so why all of a sudden are you calling?”

Ignoring her pleasantries, I cut straight to the chase. “Antoinette, I need to know how far along your are with the task I gave you. Have you made any progress with Anthony Black?” I queried, trying not to show that I was a little desperate at this point.

There was a long pause on the other end of the line, and tension was building in me as I held my

breath.
