Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 2048

At the airport.

My heart suddenly felt empty after sending off Jerome and Xander.

Theo, who was beside me, seemingly noticed what I was feeling. He put his hand on my shoulder and patted it lightly. "They’re just moving away. They’ll come back when they have the time. We can also visit them."

"Yeah." I nodded. Theo then took me to the airport gates.

I suddenly seemed to notice a familiar figure out of the corner of my eye but when I turned around, they were gone.

"What's wrong?" Theo asked me in a low voice.

Theo took me back to the company building. Then, we went to each of our own offices.

"It’s working hours, what are you guys talking about?" I reminded them in a moderate tone when I was not far away from them.

Despite my voice not being loud, it still manage to startle them and a few of them patted their chests. It was obvious that they were not discussing work.

I cleared my throat and frowned. "What are you guys talking about?"

One of the employees who were on more familiar terms with me said, "Director Lane, we’re talking about this recent company that is suddenly on a crazy upward rise."

"Which company is this?"
