Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 1099:

She sat in a daze for a while before finally shaking off her thoughts and finalizing everything before sending Morse a copy.

To her surprise, he called almost immediately after receiving it. “See, Yvonne? I knew you could do it! This interview is incredible!” He was gushing before she could even say hello.

“You’re too kind,” Yvonne replied with a faint smile.

“And you’re too modest! You deserve all the praise! I’ll make sure to reward you properly when you get back. Not only is this interview thorough, but it’s unique in a refreshingly kind of way. And Frank was so cooperative! Imagine that! Do you have any idea how many people have tried and failed to get him to open up? The fact that he was even willing to work with you speaks volumes about your character and professionalism!”

Morse’s enthusiasm was palpable even through the phone. He couldn’t seem to stop praising Yvonne and kept saying “good job” repeatedly. If a colleague hadn’t called for him in the background, he might have never ended the call.

Yvonne stared at her phone after they hung up, feeling a rush of relief. Her face broke into a smile—the task was finally complete.
