Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

Chapter 1516: Another unexpected passenger

Jonathan stared blankly at his computer. The joy he'd felt at home had evaporated. All he could do now was wonder where this corporate nightmare would end.

The world was already crumbling for some, and yet here he was, staring at the unfinished task in front of him.

"Yeah, check."

Letting the colleague investigate, the latter furrowed his brow.

"I thought I had finished, but I'm not sure."

"I see." The other man nodded. "I'll have someone look at it tomorrow. It's late already, and Sir Atlas left hours ago."

Yes!

Jonathan allowed himself a small, relieved smile as he glanced at his computer. "I hope I saved it," he whispered to himself. "Otherwise, I'll have to redo it tomorrow."
