Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled novel Chapter 140

A non-severe heart condition doesn't require admission to the ICU.

I didn't text Oscar back, just buried myself in work.

Kate wasn't gonna let me off easy, she suddenly gripped my hand tight, all worked up.

She's a bit bigger than me and stronger, too. If Orlando didn't show up in the nick of time and blocked her I would've definitely been shoved to the ground by Kate.

"Linda!" Orlando shouted, his tone a warning, "This is work time, what the hell are you doing?"

Kate glared at me, "Mr. Finch, your sister is the reason Bonnie had a heart attack, shouldn't she be held accountable?"

Orlando probably just found out how tight Kate and Bonnie are, he glanced back at me, then coldly said, "Wasn't it Bonnie who caused Rena's divorce in the first place?"

Kate's chest was heaving, she clearly couldn't take Orlando speaking ill of Bonnie, she suddenly ripped off her work badge, "I quit!"

She's worked for Orlando for so long, and now she's angrily resigning, that just shows how much she cares about Bonnie.

But I don't get it, is it just because Bonnie looks like her deceased sister?

"Go do the paperwork in HR." Orlando was pissed off too, he made no attempt to keep Kate.

I felt a bit guilty, because all this did happen because of me. If I hadn't been working in his company, Kate probably wouldn't have quit.

Kate stormed off, Orlando called me into his office.

"I'm sorry." I felt so bad.

"Linda was too impulsive, pushing a colleague during work time, that's not acceptable." Orlando pinched his forehead, looking a bit worn out.

"Are you really gonna let her quit?" I asked.

He had to admit that Kate was really good at her job, her leaving would be a loss to the company.

Orlando shook his head, "No, I'll talk to her. Rena, you need to handle your relationships at work, okay?"

I nodded.

After leaving Orlando's office with a heavy heart, I felt distracted for the rest of the day.

After work, I left the company and went home right away.

I didn't expect to run into Russel Dawson downstairs.

"What are you doing here?" I asked in surprise.

"Do you know about Bonnie's heart attack?" Russel counter-asked me.

I nodded, "Yeah, but I'm not clear about the specifics."

He said, "I do, let's talk about it upstairs."

Hearing that, I immediately took Russel upstairs.

When I opened the door, the door across also opened, Louis came out with trash in his hand, he looked somewhat surprised to see me and Russel.

"Russel, you and Ms. Finch…" Louis hesitated.

"We have something to discuss." Russel calmly replied.

I nodded at Louis and then took Russel into my apartment and shut the door.

Russel sat down on the sofa and cut to the chase, "Bonnie is currently in a hospital where a good friend of mine, a cardiothoracic surgeon, works. He told me about Bonnie's condition."

I listened quietly.
