Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 882

Dalores was startled by the sudden sound of the crackers.

She hadn't expected the surprise welcome-back party everyone had planned for Draco's hospital discharge.

Dalores was upset and a little jealous of the other W Marks designers who were trying to please Draco. Over the past few days she had made a special effort to visit and care for Draco alone, so that she could get in his good books without anyone else taking the credit.

While everyone gathered happily for the cutting of the cake, Dalores stepped away and interrupted them.

"It's still office hours," she barked. "What are you all doing here? This is a waste of company time. If you want to slack off, just say it. Don't play tricks." "Please don't be such a spoilsport here," replied Tasha. "We brought this cake for Mr. Wesley. You didn't pay for it or do any of the decoration work, so you don't tell us what to do." Tasha stared at Dalores coldly.

Dalores snorted. "Mr. Wesley has only just gotten out of the hospital. He's not in good health right now. The doctor said that he shouldn't eat greasy or sugary food, let alone be frightened by crackers. Are you trying to send Mr. Wesley back to the hospital?" Tasha was speechless. The other designers all looked at each other. Disappointment spread across every face in the room.

Dalores sneered. "Who was the one that decided you should spend all their working hours preparing a surprise party?" she scolded. "Mr. Wesley is going to return home soon, to rest. Now that you've arranged this event, it will only hinder his recovery. Stop it at once and clean everything up!"

Dolores' words upset everyone further.

"It's a surprise I asked everyone to prepare," interjected Janet. "Do you object, Dalores?" Janet looked at Dalores challengingly. She knew that Draco was worried about the studio and, as such, he wouldn't have been able to rest now anyway. "In addition to celebrating Mr. Wesley's discharge from the hospital, we're also celebrating the success of W Marks in Iridescent Show. Everyone here has worked hard for W Marks. Why shouldn't they be allowed to spend ten minutes eating cake? Tasha, you can clean the table after you've finished your cake."

Draco was browsing through the files, so he hadn't noticed what'd been going on in their area. Hearing Janet's voice, he turned his head and said, "The success of our studio in Iridescent Show is indeed worth celebrating. Everyone, please go ahead and enjoy your cake. Don't worry about me."

Draco then turned around and walked into his office.

"Great!" someone cried happily. Everyone was overjoyed. They stopped cleaning, gathered back together and started cutting the cake.
