Unfinished Business with You novel

Shannon nodded. "Yeah. I wouldn't have woken up if Eugene hadn't called me. You have no idea how scared I was when I woke up only to not see you in the room. Please, Azalea, promise me you won't tell Eugene about this. He will chew my head off for letting you go on your own again."

Azalea smiled upon hearing that. "Don't worry. I won't tell him. Why did Eugene call for you, anyway?"

"He asked me how you are feeling. He probably couldn't speak freely this morning because his wife was around."

Azalea's mood plummeted when she heard that. She even felt aggrieved when she remembered what happened earlier in the day. How could he stay silent and watch Olivia bully me like that?

Even if he isn't interested in me, I am still his lifesaver.

How can he be so heartless?

"What did you tell him?" she asked.

Shannon read the look on Azalea's face and replied, "What else could I tell him? I only told him the truth. I said you seemed low-spirited all day."

A glimmer of hope appeared in Azalea's eyes. "And what did he say?"

Shannon looked at her and inwardly scoffed. She is already planning to take her revenge, and yet she still hopes for Eugene to be concerned about her?

"Eugene told me to keep you company."
