Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 13:

Kallie bit her pale lip, yearning to retort. But as she reached for her phone to type a response, the receptionist halted her with a stern hand gesture. “Don’t waste our time. If you keep bothering me, I’ll call security!”

The receptionist then shoved Kallie back. With no other option, Kallie texted Jake instead. “I’m downstairs, but the receptionist won’t let me in.”

However, Jake didn’t respond to her message.

Kallie paced back and forth, realizing that the longer she waited, the more likely her meal would lose its appeal. She approached the receptionist once more with a sentence on her phone. “Could you please inform Mr. Reeves that I am here?”

Kallie refrained from revealing she was Jake’s wife, fearing it might embarrass him.

The receptionist rolled her eyes dismissively. “If we run off to tell Mr. Reeves every time a lunatic claims to see him, he’ll never get his work done!”

Left without alternatives, Kallie took a seat on a sofa in the lobby’s corner, a designated rest area where she decided to wait until Jake was done for the day.

Observing Kallie settle down, the receptionist spitefully poured her a glass of water and set it down with a smirk. “If you insist on waiting, then wait. Mr. Reeves uses the private elevator directly to the parking garage after work. He won’t even come this way. Let’s see how long you last!”

Anxious, Kallie continuously glanced at her phone screen, yet there was still no response from Jake. Could he be tied up with something?

Just then, the elevator doors parted. Jake emerged, his arm linked with Sarah’s.
