Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 1036 You Know My Attitude Towards Women

When Ann got to the company, she was already running late. She quickly fixed herself up and tried to get her head straight. As she walked into the office, she saw Selena was already there.

Selena noticed Ann looked off and asked, "Ann, you don't look so hot. Are you running a fever?"

Ann touched her face, feeling the heat. "I might've caught a cold last night, Ms. Fair. I'll just take some meds."

Selena looked apologetic, "Sorry for dragging you into that mess yesterday. Raymond looked into those kidnappers, and we know who sent them. It won't happen again."

Ann gave a faint smile, "Ms. Fair, no need to apologize. I'm fine."

Ann's vision started to blur. After chatting a bit, she went back to her desk and quickly took some fever medicine.

She was super sleepy, but her body ached all over. The pain kept her awake, and it was pure torture.

Ann somehow made it through the day at her desk until evening, barely finishing her tasks. She asked Selena for some time off and took a cab home.
