When Love Becomes a Cage by Nora

Chapter 194



I had the most bizarre dream last night. It was as if Clyde had come back to life, only to chastise me for dozing off on the couch.

But when I woke up, he hadn't moved an inch from his position the day before.

Eliana and Warren dropped by to check on him and offered me some comforting words.

Yet, deep down, I knew no amount of consolation could help. It was up to Clyde to wake up.

After ensuring the caregiver was all set, I finally headed to the office.

The sight of me had everyone in the Design Department breathing a sigh of relief.

"Ms. Crawford, if you hadn't shown up, I would've keeled over from stress."

Jade looked like she had lost ten pounds, dark circles heavy under her eyes.

I was aware of the burden she shouldered with me gone, managing the Design Department on her own was no easy feat.

"Tonight, dinner's on me. A big thank you to all of you."

"Three cheers for Ms. Crawford! Best boss ever!"

"I'm going for the most expensive buffet! And I'm clocking out on time today!"
