Chapter 274
Amelia rolled her eyes in exasperation, not bothering to keep up appearances since
her son wasn’t around.
Once Skylar and Christopher reconciled, she’d make sure Skylar came to the hospital to care for her. Skylar could forget about her job. No job should be more important
than taking care of her.
Once Christopher returned to work, Skylar would have to stay home and care for
both of them. Then, Amelia would know exactly how to control her, just like before.
Christopher hung up the phone and entered the Gardner Group.
The security guard on duty that day was different and didn’t recognize Christopher, who had come looking for Skylar.
“I’d like to see Skylar Sullivan. Can you ask for her?” Christopher asked the guard.
The guard hesitated, “I haven’t seen Ms. Sullivan today. She might have taken the day off.”
He remembered hearing something about it at the front desk earlier.
Christopher was taken aback.
“She took the day off? It’s Monday. She should definitely be at work.”
He thought Skylar had instructed the guard to make an excuse whenever he arrived. She must be utterly disappointed in him.
In that case, he’d wait. There were only about two hours left until the end of the workday. He wanted to see how Skylar would avoid him then.
“You could call her and check if something’s wrong,” the guard suggested.
If he knew she wasn’t at work, shouldn’t he call to make sure? Why was he asking the guard instead? It was puzzling.
Christopher shot a cold glance at the guard but said nothing. He walked to a corner where he could see people leaving the building and decided to wait there.
Chapter 27
He took out his phone and dialed a number. It wasn’t Skylar; she had already blocked him and wouldn’t answer even if he used a different number.
He was calling Maisy. If he was living miserably, he would drag her down with him.
Maisy was at the mall shopping with a man, one of her college suitors, who was now
pursuing her.
Seeing Christopher’s call, she frowned and told the man she needed to use the
restroom. She answered the call once inside.
