So, I changed the subject. "Just now, Stella went to the hospital." "Oh? What was she doing there?" Ivanna asked.
"She was probably there to gather information. I feel that when Jared returned just now, it was because there was news. They've been searching for that person all along! "This time, it's not just Atlas looking, but also the Huffmans and Jared. They're managing well, but facing three powerful forces is no simple task." "Yes!" Ivanna exclaimed cheerfully.
Just then, my phone rang. I glanced at it. Ivanna immediately reached over to my bag on the backseat, pulled out my phone, and gasped.

Ivanna had already swiped to answer and put it on speaker.
"Lauren, where are you? When are you coming back?" Ivanna shouted. "You've been gone for so long, and the house is ready for you. You should cback." A surprised exclamation cfrom the other end. "Oh my, are you two together? I just wanted to let you know I've already booked a ticket to cback. At 4 p.m. three days from now. You guys, cpickup!" "Where are you right now?" I chimed in.
"I'm in Estrana. I'm tired, and I'm coming home." Her voice sounded a bit choked up. "The crucial thing is to be with you guys! Next time, let's all go together. The world out there is so vast, and we're too small. We need to cout and broaden our horizons!" Ivanna immediately joined in, "Next time, for sure. You just got up and left this time. You left before I recovered!" "Are you feeling better?" she asked with a smile.
"I'm injured again! What do you mean 'better'?" Ivanna said it with a hint of grievance.
"Huh? Where are you injured?" She believed Lauren.
I quickly interjected, "She's injured in her soul! She's just complaining. Take care, and be safe. We'll pick you up the day after tomorrow." After hanging up the phone, both of us were extremely excited. Finally, she's coming back. This was great news.

Carol sawreturn to the office at the entrance and cover with joy. "Ms. Chloe-" Immediately, she saw Jeremiah followback in and looked slightly displeased. "Mr. Jeremiah, why are you here again?" "Haha, Ms. Chloe and I have a telepathic connection. I was just about to leave, and she cback." He shamelessly followed behindand entered my office.
Since guests were here, I couldn't very well kick him out. I walked into the office and sat down. "Mr. Jeremiah, please speak. I can only give you ten minutes because I have an urgent meeting." Jeremiah immediately responded, "Alright, it'll just take a few words!" Hearing him say that, I gave him a nod.
"Ms. Chloe, I'm here to report sgood news. There's progress on the Bourdamun project! I just had a meeting with the higher- ups yesterday." "You just had a meeting, and there's already good news?" I couldn't help but interject.
"Oh no, we've had many meetings before this. But this time, there is good news. The project is about to kick off! Ms. Chloe, are you interested?" Jeremiah looked at me, his greasy hand rubbing the sofa's armrest, makinguncomfortable. "You haven't even brought the relevant documents, and you're askingif I'm interested? You seem quite anxious, Mr. Jeremiah. Did your previous business deals go this way as well?" My tone carried a hint of sarcasm. sŵHe was a big shot. Was he trying to con me?
