Chapter 65: Fred’s phone call was actually answered by the secretary
When Aaron got home, the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he was, so he called Elena.
“Elena, are you home yet?”
“Back, is there something wrong with the vice president?” Elena’s tone was obviously much rustier.
Aaron cleared his throat and said uncomfortably, “Actually, it’s nothing, I saw you look bad before, Elena, did you misunderstand something before?”
Elena pretended to be surprised, “Ah… Vice President, what are you talking about? I just saw that Fred was busy and it was not good to disturb.”
“Oh, then it’s okay, you rest, I still have some things to take care of.” Knowing full well that Elena was telling a lie, Aaron couldn’t break it down.
If Elena graciously admitted it, it was nothing, but then Elena tried to cover it up, and now Fred was in big trouble. He didn’t care, it was a matter between the couple anyway. If Fred wanted to step in two boats, I believe he should be able to solve it himself, so why should he worry about it?
Elena read the resignation letter again and again, and finally signed her name, and after everything was done, she began to pack her bags. She had been back for several months, and it was time to go back and see the children.
After her luggage was packed, she called the airline to book a ticket, but today’s flight had just left, so she had to wait until tomorrow to leave.
Sitting on the couch, she was still a little upset, but she decided to call Fred and ask him in person to give herself another chance.
Elena called Fred’s cell phone, but Fred didn’t pick up, Elena called three times in a row, but Fred didn’t answer the phone. Elena looked at the phone and turned it off. If she was thinking too much about herself before, she had no reason not to think about it.
She called three times in a row, but the phone was ringing, but there was no answer, so what was it if not weakness?
Elena dragged her luggage straight to the airport, although she couldn’t go back to Italy, she could go to the United States.
After buying a ticket at the airport, an hour before boarding, Elena called Kevin’s phone number.
Once the phone call came through, Elena took the initiative and said, “Brother, it’s Elena, can you send me my mom’s address?”
Kevin was shocked, he didn’t know Elena had already gone back, “You’re going to America?”
“Yes, I want to go see my real mother, brother, send me the address.” Elena pleaded again.
“Where are you now, I’ll go with you.” Kevin said as he ran towards the garage.
“Brother, the plane is leaving in an hour, just send me the address.” Elena said truthfully.
“What? When did you leave, why didn’t you tell me, wait for me, I’m going to the airport.” Kevin said sharply.
“Brother, it’s too late, just send me the address.” At that moment, the sound of ticket check-in and boarding came over the radio, just in time to help Elena answer what Kevin was going to ask next.
“Okay, Elena, wait for me in Los Angeles, I’ll catch the next flight there.” Kevin said without hesitation.
“Brother, no, I’ll go by myself ……” Before Elena could finish, the call was disconnected, and it was clear that the other end had hung up the phone.
Elena got on the plane and sat down in her seat, but her mind could not be calmed, she tried desperately to control the impulse to get off the plane. To prevent herself from losing control, she decided to call Fred again.
When the call came through, Elena stood up with a burst of joy and wanted to get off the plane, but the voice coming from the phone made her settle down.
It was Bess’s voice on the phone, “Designer Elena? The president is busy at this time, may I ask what’s urgent?”
Elena moved the phone away from her ear to make sure there was no wrong number, and Bess’s voice came back on the phone, “Designer Elena, if there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now.”
Elena felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, cold from head to toe, if she was overthinking before, what about now? She didn’t know how many times she’d called since she’d gotten home.
The sound of the plane about to take off came over the radio, but Elena no longer had the desire to get off the plane, to leave, as if everything had stopped five years ago.
Looking at the phone, Elena’s hand trembled a little, but the flight attendants were asking all passengers to turn off all communication devices.
The tears went to her eyes, when she left five years ago, her heart did not hurt so much, but now, her chest is like a big hole.
Elena looked out of the window with a blank stare, the opposite of what she felt a few months ago, telling herself to be strong and that there is no such thing as too much trouble. For the past five years, she and her children had been doing just fine without Fred.
Finally finished all the work, Fred pinched the back of his sore neck, it seems to have to take some time to exercise, otherwise the cervical spine will not be able to stand.
When I looked at the time, I had been off work for an hour, so I went to pick up Elena for dinner. He was looking forward to the surprise Aaron had mentioned earlier.
Fred put down the phone and thought, “Did Elena not go back?
Fred called Elena’s cell phone again, but the display was already off, to this point, he could not help but some worry. Is Elena really jealous? Or was she angry with him?
He wanted to call Aaron again and ask him, but he put the phone down and grabbed his jacket, ready to go pick up Elena directly.
When he got to the underground garage, he realized he didn’t have his cell phone with him, so he went back to get it, but he searched all over the office and didn’t see it. Fred thought carefully and realized that the phone had been ringing during the afternoon meeting, so he gave it to Bess, and then ……
Fred picked up the phone on the desk and called his own cell phone, and sure enough, there was someone on the other end of the phone.
“Bess, where did you get my cell phone?” Fred was burning with anger, he just asked Bess to take his phone to his office, but that woman actually took his phone away. his
“President, I’m sorry, I also just found out that your phone was put into my bag, where are you now, I’ll send it to you.” The Bess on the other end of the phone said sorry, but there was no half-earned intention.
Fred was angry, he had a bad feeling, the woman must have answered his phone, even if she accidentally put into the bag, so long after work, it is impossible to a phone call, she must be deliberate, it seems that we must be quick, “no need, I will go over to get it myself, you tell me the address.”
Bess said the address, Fred fire Avenue: “You stay at home until I get the phone back.”
When he returned to the garage and drove the car out of the office, Fred thought of Elena, who was already upset during the day, and if he went back to Bess’ place, it was possible that their relationship, which had been so easily eased, would become frosty again.
Thinking of this, he stopped the car and went to the roadside to borrow a phone to call Aaron.
“Hello, this is Aaron,”
“Aaron, it’s me. Bess took my phone, go get it for me.” Fred was in an irritable mood.
“Fred, how come your phone is at Bess’s? What time is it, you ……”
“I’m waiting for you at Elena’s house, Bess’s address is ******, you go now.” Fred didn’t want to listen to Aaron’s nonsense, and urged after telling Aaron Bess’s address.
“Okay, for the sake of my sister-in-law, I’ll go get it for you, except I’m curious, how come your cell phone is at the secretary’s place? In case sister-in-law calls during this time and the person who answers the phone is the little secretary, what do you think sister-in-law will do?” Aaron, who was eating dinner outside, shook his head helplessly, he vaguely felt that the boss was in big trouble.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“As long as you do not say, she will not know, well, you hurry to get, do not so much nonsense, my car is still parked on the roadside.” Fred said and hung up the phone.
I thought there would be no traffic jam at this time, but I didn’t expect it, but it was still jammed. When Fred arrived at Elena’s house, Aaron arrived before him.
“Boss, it looks like you’re a snail, I’ve been waiting for half an hour.” Aaron took Fred’s phone in hand and threw it straight over, “Obviously, your phone has been moved, your secretary is really competent, very thoughtful, even the phone is filtered for you, an hour ago, I called your phone, but the record has been deleted, obviously …… ”
Aaron said no more, Fred has looked at the phone himself, and directly upstairs. Although he had a key, Fred knocked on the door first, and only after no one answered did he take out the key.
“Elena, are you home?” Fred entered the house and called Elena’s name, but there was still no response.
“Come on, don’t you think you’re a lot slower? If my sister-in-law was home, she’d be out by now-” Aaron said, looking past Fred into the house.
“I know, probably out to dinner.” Fred reassured himself.
“I called my sister-in-law this afternoon, and something doesn’t seem right, or “Boss, something doesn’t seem right, the room is empty, something seems to be missing.
Aaron looked at the living room, although it was a week ago, but he still have some impression, this will seem to be missing a lot of things.
“What are you trying to say?” Fred was stunned for a moment, and then dashed to the bedroom like lightning.
“Boss, I’m right, aren’t I ……” Aaron followed to the bedroom and saw Fred open the closet, somewhat empty, only a few pieces of men’s clothes shaking in it, surprisingly not a single woman’s clothes ……
Fred looked at the closet, looked at the neat bed, his voice dark, “Elena is gone.”
“No way? Sister-in-law wouldn’t leave without a word, would she have gone out for dinner or to meet a friend.” Aaron froze, a little unbelievable, when he called this afternoon, did not hear any unusual ah.
“Damn, are all women that petty.” Fred was annoyed and still couldn’t believe what his eyes were seeing, then he rushed into the bathroom again, and sure enough, there was nothing else in there but his toiletries, Elena had really left and taken her things with her.
“Probably not, do you think it could be that she called you and then it was the little secretary who answered and said some more nasty things? I heard that women have zero IQ when they fall in love, maybe ……”
Aaron stopped when he saw that Fred was pulling the phone.
“Bess, did Elena call me this afternoon?” Fred questioned coldly into the phone.
“I didn’t get a call from Elena, President, what’s the matter? Or is Elena her ……” Without waiting for Bess to finish, Fred hung up the phone, he could be sure that he couldn’t ask.
