Trouble in Paradise by Three Way

Chapter 0636

Beth observed me with an impassive expression, and I studied her in return.

It had been a while since I last saw her. She seemed sharper and more aloof now, her slightly furrowed brows giving off an air of indifference.

Nicholas's other secretary had once mentioned that her promotion was actually a demotion, but she didn't appear to be in such a situation.

I wondered what she had been through during this time. There was a faint, cold loneliness about her-a natural aura of isolation that often accompanies those in high positions without anyone to rely on.

Did she prefer who she was now, or did she miss the days when she worked closely with Nicholas? After all, back then, no one would have dared let her drink this much.

"Mrs. Hawk, this place isn't as simple as it seems. Whoever you're looking for, I can send someone to find them for you. Please leave as soon as possible," Beth said coldly.

I patted her shoulder as a farewell and moved to walk around her. "I know. I'll leave as soon as I find them. Since you're not too drunk, I won't stay with you anymore. See you around."

"Mrs. Hawk!" Beth called out, stopping me in my tracks.
