Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 62

When Mason saw me walk in, he put down his phone. He looked at me and asked, "How was the site recce?"

"Not too bad. Do you need anything from me?" His schedule was not free enough for him to come all this way just to play with his phone.

"I told you this morning that I'd send you some soup." He passed me a container. "Drink this while it's still hot. It’s good for suppressing nausea."

"Thank you." I was grateful. He had been very attentive to me and my troubles recently, and I felt bad he had had to come all this way. "I’ll buy you a meal someday to make up for this."

"That'll have to wait till after you're done with this whole spokesperson thing. I heard you're organizing a huge talent show for this?" Mason sounded like he had just learned about it.

"Yeah, so it can be fair and no one feels insulted," I joked.

He lifted his head to look at me. "Do you ever wonder i f the reason Theo passed this job to you was that he didn't wanna work with Newlight any longer? What are you gonna do if Sandy wins?"

Honestly speaking, even though I had the entire thing

under control, there was still a possibility that the unexpected could happen.

I frowned and asked, "What's the real reason Theo wanted to switch Sandy out?"

“You've gotta go ask him." He did not say anything else.

I did not ask any more questions either, choosing to focus on my soup.

Abruptly, my phone rang. It was Cecilia.

Her anxious voice boomed in my ear the moment I picked up the phone. "Wanda, something's happened. I’m in the police station now, you've gotta come here."

That gave me the shock of my life. What had happened to her? Why was she in the police station?

There was no time for me to ask for details. I hung up and rushed outside, but Mason stopped me halfway." What happened?" he asked.

"Something's happened to Cecilia, she’s in the police station now," I answered as I hurried out the door. My body was swaying violently out of balance from the panic I felt.
