Chapter 4014
Evan had been waiting outside the gates of the Du Group since the afternoon. Hours had passed, and he hadn’t even caught a glimpse of Abby. When she finally picked up his call, relief washed over him.
“I still have some work to finish,” Abby said coolly. “I won’t leave until it’s done. What do you want?”
The confirmation that she was still in the office reassured Evan. At least she hadn’t left while he’d been waiting. A smile crept onto his face.
