Unexpected Encounter with my Boss

Chapter 72

The fact that Vincent was absent the entire night gnawed at Kelly, leaving her restless and worried on the living room couch.

As day broke, she reached for her phone and called Alex.

"Kelly?" Alex answered after a few rings.

The familiar way Alex addressed her made Kelly frown slightly.

They had worked together before, and even though she was now Vincent's woman, Alex hadn't changed his casual tone or added a respectful title when speaking to her. Pushing aside her unease, she asked, "Alex, is Mr. Lewis with you?"

"Mr. Lewis?" Alex paused for a moment.

Instead of answering directly, he asked, "Is something wrong?"

"He didn't return home last night, and I can't get in touch with him. I'm starting to worry. Is he with you discussing business?"

"Oh... Mr. Lewis isn't with me. He did have a very important project to handle last night. Maybe it kept him up too late to come home."

"I see." Kelly's voice was thoughtful.
