The Silent Wife

Chapter 114

“That’s not what I mean.” Gloria’s childish stubbornness was written all over her face. “Never mind, I can’t explain it clearly to you anyway. In short, Justin isn’t as devoid of human feelings as you perceive him to be. He cares about you a lot, you know.”

Does he really care about me? All of a sudden, Rachel felt like laughing.

When she saw how unmoved Rachel was, Gloria felt annoyed. “How could you be so ignorant of what is good

for you? I have made myself so clear to you, yet you don’t even understand a word of what I have said. Anyway, I’ll stop being nice to you if you dare to hit him again!” she warned. Then, she picked up the breakfast bag from the table and lamented, “I must be out of my mind to have bought breakfast for you!”

With that, the office door slammed shut with a loud bang. Rachel could see clearly through the blinds how Gloria threw the breakfast she had initially bought for her into the trash can before leaving exasperatedly. She took a deep breath, swept the discarded documents on the table aside, and sat down.

Meanwhile, Gloria went back into Justin’s office in a huff. Then, she plonked herself down on the sofa and gulped down a glass of water. “What’s the matter? You look so mad.” Justin’s voice came from behind the computer.

“I was bitten by a dog.” Gloria replied in a petty manner. “I seriously don’t understand your taste for women. The ladies around you are weirder than one another.”

Justin looked at Gloria in bafflement and was about to say something, but Frankie knocked on the door and came in just then. “President Burton, the human resources department needs you to sign this letter of appointment. Amber Hudson can come to work from tomorrow onward.”

“Give it to me.”

“What?” Gloria sprang up from the sofa. “Amber is coming to work at the Burton Group? Why didn’t I know about this?”

Justin replied impassively, “You never liked to concern yourself with work-related matters in the first place.”

“Isn’t she working at the hospital?”

On her way to visit Nancy, she drove to Old Street to buy some of her grandmother’s favorite old-time snacks for her. This street, which was about to be demolished, was the only place in Riverdale that still made these traditional snacks. After everything was packed up, she walked out of the shop with the snacks in her hands. When she looked up and saw the sign of the tailor’s shop across the street, the scene of her talking and joking with Hans and Janice suddenly flashed across her mind, and her heart ached
