My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 96

Ugh.

What else could I say now that he said it so bluntly? I glared at him and said, "Why did you drink so much then?" I said angrily, "Try to see if your brain is working. If there's nothing concerning, we can proceed to have you discharged."

The business trip was initially intended to be short. Alas, now everything had to be delayed.

Fortunately, after the doctor determined that there were no major concerns, Sawyer was discharged immediately after being prescribed some medicines. However, he was thick-skinned enough to claim that I should be responsible for his wellbeing after we left the hospital.

I didn't have time to banter with him and immediately brought him to the company where Sawyer would describe his findings of the fund embezzlement to Hogan.

Hogan seemed shocked at the revelation and ordered a thorough investigation of the Finance Department and the other relevant divisions.

It wasn't much of a big deal. As Sawyer prepared his final report, I inspected the branch company's operation and interviewed some staff of relevant departments. I was prepared to return to Ucrebury once there were no other concerns found.

However, Sawyer had several tricks up his sleeves. He insisted that he had to eat something nutritious

to heal his head injury, which was why he brought me to a huge Street Food District in Asherton.

I gave Monique a call, and it took a while before she finally answered. The voice on the other end was still sounding groggy. "Hello!"

I looked at the time and saw that it was already noon. "Have you sobered up already? Get up and let's go shopping around the Street Food District!"

"Okay!" Monique said, "You go ahead first, I'll come over later..."

Just as I was about to hang up the phone and text her my location, I heard a deep male voice from the other end. "You're awake!"

What the f*ck!

Did she actually manage to hook up with another man despite being so drunk last night?

"Miss Caulfield, do you care to explain yourself?" I couldn't resist asking.

"I have to go, let's talk about it later!" Monique hung up in a hurry.

Hello?
