Chapter 291

Bonnie seemed to have a sixth sense about me. Just as I tossed away that file, she called me from an unknown number.

“Ms. Finch, have you reviewed my partnership proposal?’ No sooner had Bonnie’s voice sounded did I hung up and added that number to my block list.

The mention of Oscar made my mood a bit heavy. I nodded and said, “Alright. I’ll go with you tomorrow morning. You can rest at home in the afternoon.”

I lay in bed, thinking about these things, waiting for Neil to come to bed, but he didn’t come back until I fell asleep.

When I woke up early the next morning, I saw Neil coming down from the upstairs study. He looked like he had worked late in the study last night and just slept there.
