Chapter 960 Josie: [Don't worry about the company.
We're proceeding according to the plan. We'll wait for you to personally review the quarterly report when you're back.] Josie: [We're very sorry for Mr. Hayes' passing.] Josie sent a photo, and Caroline tapped on it. It showed all the employees placing white lilies at Kenny's office.
Caroline's eyes welled up with tears upon seeing the photo. Her tears dropped on the phone screen. She wiped them away and replied to Josie.
Caroline: [Thank you all for waiting
patiently. I'll be back in a few days. ] She sent the same text message to the work chat group.
The employees boiled over with excitement right away.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEmployee A: [Are you feeling better, Ms. Shenton? We were almost scared to death when we saw the trending post!] Employee B: [We're really glad that you're back safely, Ms. Shenton!] Employee C: [Sales hit a new high this month, Ms. Shenton! We're waiting for you to come back and celebrate together!) Caroline felt warm and fuzzy in her
heart upon reading their caring words.
There was no mention of her pain points as if it had been agreed upon. | Caroline closed the work group chat and continued to scroll down. She found Paige's numerous text messages, all sent a few days ago.
Paige had been messaging her every few hours to check on her mood and health.
Caroline wanted to reply to Paige right away but knew her phone was surely bugged. She chose not to reply immediately out of caution.
She continued to scroll down and saw the words that made her heart bleed: 'Evan Jordan'.
Holding her breath, she tapped on |
Evan's text messages.
There weren't many, but his few messages contained all the emotions and guilt toward her.
Evan: [Caroline, I'm very sorry about the engagement party. I promise I'll make it up to you when I return.) Evan: [Caroline, I understand that your anger and disappointment will take some time to fade away. Please reply to me when you're in a better mood. ] Evan: [Neil mentioned that you're not feeling well. Don't hurt yourself, and call me back when you see this!] The three messages were enough to make Caroline break down in tears, which blurred her vision and landed on their chat interface.
She had never been angry at him and
sulked because of this matter. She could imagine how anxious Evan must have been when he could not reach her.
He had been troubled by the pressing issues at the company but had also been waiting for her reply. The anxiety that had arisen because of her was something she could no longer soothe.
