The Silent Wife

Chapter 178

Chapter 178

The elevator doors opened with a ‘ding’, and the secretary outside of Justin’s office greeted Amber politely when she saw her. “Hello, Miss Amber. President Burton is still in a meeting. What brought you here today?”

“I made some chicken soup and brought some for him. It has been very busy in the company recently, and all of you have worked hard. So, I ordered some pastries and they will be delivered soon.”

At this, the people at the reception table looked happy and started thanking her.

“You’re always so sweet, Miss Amber.”

“Thank you, Miss Amber.”

“You’re welcome. I’ll be waiting for Justin in his office then.”

The secretary at the reception quickly stood up and said, “Miss Amber, why don’t you wait in the lounge? There’s already somebody waiting in his office.”

“Somebody?” she repeated, her eyes narrowed. “Who is it?”

“It’s Charlotte,” the secretary replied.

Amber was relieved when she heard that. She had initially thought that it was another C-list celebrity who had come to throw herself at Justin. “Why did Charlotte suddenly come over today?”

“No idea, but she arrived in the early morning.”

“It’s fine,” Amber said with a smile. “I’m bored anyway, so I can chat with her since Justin will be finished with the meeting soon.”

Everyone at the reception exchanged glances as they watched Amber disappear into Justin’s office. It was an open secret that Charlotte had a dislike for Amber.

Most of them reckoned that Justin was still not marrying Amber because of Charlotte’s disapproval. Besides this reason, they couldn’t think of another logical explanation.
