Chapter 935 - 006 I can just stay at a hotel_5
"Okay," Michael Auclair nodded in agreement.
As they took turns driving, just about to reach G City, Michael Auclair’s phone rang. It was a call from Adelle Turner. He hesitated as he looked at the caller ID, unsure whether to answer.
Why was this woman calling him at this time? They weren’t due back to work until tomorrow. What on earth did she want from him now?
They had slept together on the night of the company’s annual party because he was drunk, and then, after being rejected by Avery the following day, he was feeling down and had gone to Adelle for a temporary fix. He regretted it deeply since and had agreed to give her a generous compensation. But it seemed like it was never enough for this woman.
They had clearly made a deal before. He had agreed to let her replace Giselle Browman as team leader, and after that he would give her a sum of money, and then they would be even. Apart from work-related issues, they were not supposed to call each other.
But now, she was calling him a day before they were due back to work.
Just as Michael Auclair was debating whether to answer, Avery Graham reminded him, "Why aren’t you answering your phone? It’s rung twice already."
Avery didn’t know what he was wrestling with in his mind and didn’t find his hesitation to answer the phone particularly strange.
