Chapter 99 Argument


Seeing Ambrose, Galatea stood there like a sculpture, stunned. She didn't expect to meet Ambrose again so soon, and especially not alone with him.

"Um... I'm here to see Alaric. Is he not here?" Galatea nervously asked, locking eyes with him.

"Oh, Mr. Alaric just said he had a small meeting and asked me to wait here. We'll have lunch together," Ambrose replied.

What? A meeting?

Wasn't it Alaric who called her to come and see him?

With this realization, Galatea's mind buzzed, and she suddenly understood. She looked up and noticed the surveillance camera in the corner of his office. Alaric must be watching them now. Her nose tingled, and tears welled up uncontrollably. She had planned to come and explain everything to Alaric, but now it seemed like this was just a test.

Galatea quickly put on a smile, afraid that Ambrose would see her reaction. She said, "Sorry for the inconvenience. You can wait here. I'll leave first."

With that, Galatea turned around and walked out. Tears fell from her eyes at that moment, but she quickly wiped them away and hurried into the elevator.

At this moment, she felt like a brainless fool. She had been so eager to come here after the phone call, but what did it result in? A trap. "Ding!"

The elevator doors opened, revealing Alaric standing outside.

He must have been watching her on the surveillance camera; otherwise, he wouldn't have appeared right as she was leaving.
