Trouble in Paradise by Three Way

Chapter 0419

I hadn't been feeling well lately, so I had been resting at home for the past two days.

It wasn't until Douglas called me that I found out that Frances was oblivious to the fact that I wasn't in town and had been visiting the office for the past two days, seemingly looking distressed.

To settle everything as soon as possible, I chose a bright and sunny afternoon to head over to the office. I was rarely at Jones Corporation, yet my office on the top floor had been kept neat and tidy. The second I opened the door, the faint smell of tea leaves immediately waffled toward me.

I took a deep breath and pulled my chair out. The smell made it difficult for me to breathe.

Douglas froze, and his expression was filled with shock as if he was not expecting me to say such a thing. I guessed he had assumed so because he had often noticed that scent on me.

He did not say anything else and called Frances, who was waiting in the visitor's lounge, over to my office.
