The Billionaire's Maid Bride novel Chapter 369

Allison held a tray with a bottle of wine, giving Linda a cold nod.

Linda squirmed a bit. "Allison, did you see the text I sent you?"

"Which one? I don’t check my phone while working."

"Oh, the one about Mrs. Flanagan arriving. She's in Serena's office now."

As Linda prepared to leave, the elevator slowly ascended. Allison remained silent for a few seconds before saying, "Thanks."

"You don't need to thank me, Allison. I'm sorry about last time, I … I didn't mean to. But when Penelope asked, I … I blurted it out. They all know we're close, and think I knew your whereabouts. I couldn't hide it, I, I …"

"Linda, I don't blame you." She understood Linda's predicament. But she didn't need a friend who betrayed her.

The Flanagans paid well, and there was no need for Linda to risk losing her job to cover for her. But Allison wasn't a saint, she didn't plan on having any contact with Linda in the future.

The elevator doors opened, and Allison walked out. Linda watched her leave; sometimes she envied Allison's freedom.

……

At midnight, Allison rubbed her shoulders, tallied up the day's bar tab, got approval from the manager, and headed to the changing room.

"Allison…" someone called her name.

Allison was changing, the changing room was all women, and her colleagues were coming and going after work. She responded but didn't look back.

Again, "Allison, I need to talk to you."
