Chapter 849 Why Is She Always The Unlucky One

At Charles words. Whitney’s leashed emotions suddenly broke free

Biting her lower lip hard to hold her sobs back, she murmured. “It’s okay. Are you okay over there? Is it overly dangerous!

When she was in Tayhaven back then, she heard Muprary was in a state of great turmoil. Warfare raged year-round there, and it was common for thugs to open fire and kill people.

– The danger is still manageable. The new company we’ve established here has run into some trouble, and they need me to step in and sort things out. If all goes well, I should be back in two days

Charles didn’t explain the kind of trouble involved.

Charles then continued, “Go home earlier. You can skip work while I’m not in the office these days. I’ll make up for our missed date next time.”

Holding the phone and listening to his response, Whitney was slightly taken aback.

That was the first time he explained what he was doing. On top of that, he admitted to their date.

“Most importantly, you’re safe. I’ll wait for you to come back.”
