When Love Breaks by jack

She had been acting off since she entered my office. Putting two and two together, she was to keep me in the dark about Gregory.

"Jane..." Christine licked her lips, hesitating before she spoke.

Her hesitation only made me more anxious.

I grabbed her arm. "Tell me, Chris, please."

She still hesitated. I knew she was afraid of how I might react.

"If you don't tell me, I'll find out myself." I grabbed my phone and headed for the exit. "If no one will tell me, I'll head down to Vista Town myself."

Molly didn't pick up. I tried calling Farley next but got no answer.

I lowered my gaze, entered the date, and after a thorough search, found no news of any incident involving G news of any incident involving Un Gregory. Instead, I saw a live video of a press conference by the Ford Group's pharmaceutical division announcing a breakthrough.

Gregory appeared in the video, oddly casual in his attire amidst the formal setting, answering reporters' O m questions with a laid-back yet e

untouchable air. His voice was low and confident, challenging anyone to doubt his words.

Unusually devoid of sarcasm, Bryant asked softly, "Feeling better?"Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

"Yeah." I returned his phone. Having sorted out the company affairs, Christine hurried out, glancing at Bryant before turning to me helplessly. "See, I told you it was nothing. Gregory's got too much luck to be in any real trouble."

Bryant's gaze was warm. "So, are you going back to work or heading home?"

The wealthy ladies were thrilled after wrapping up those private orders for Vista Town last week. (Some om immediately placed new orders.

Janedream was growing faster than expected. We were lucky. Janedream was growing faster t Bryant wrapped an arm around my shoulder as we walked back to my office, casually sitting on the couch. "You get back to work. I'll wait here till you finish."

I felt uneasy, replying coldly, "Aren't RF and the Ferguson Group keeping you busy?"
