Chapter 823: Chapter 823: Overbearing CEO Falls for the Delicate Wife (23)_1
This coupon, Madeleine remembered, was picked out of the trash bin at The Sapphire Bistro by Howard Coleman yesterday.
At the time, he had been staring at this coupon, but when he saw his own, he suddenly hid the coupon away.
Madeleine stared at the coupon for a long time before reaching out, picking it up, and seeing a row of phone numbers on it.
Madeleine looked at the phone number for a while and then took out her phone and directly took a picture of it.
When Madeleine drove to the office, it was already one in the afternoon; after eating lunch in the company’s cafeteria, she returned to her office, unable to resist taking out her phone and started studying the phone number.
She knew that Howard had many women, but there were not many who could make Howard gaze at a phone number so absorbedly.
...
Only one…
Madeleine’s heart suddenly lifted, and a layer of fear and worry surfaced from the depths of her heart. As she was staring blankly out of the window, the door to her office was suddenly knocked, and Madeleine pulled herself together and called out, “Come in.”
It was Madeleine’s secretary, carrying a set of documents. Madeleine received the documents, reviewed them, and signed.
The secretary politely gave Madeleine a faint smile and then said courteously, “I’ll leave now.”
Madeleine nodded, and the secretary turned to leave, but just after taking hardly two steps, Madeleine, as if remembering something, called out to the secretary, “Your phone? Let me use it.”
The secretary, although curious about what Madeleine needed her phone for, handed it over obediently as she dared not refuse her boss, regardless of her curiosity.
Madeleine took the phone, directly entered the phone number she had saved, and dialed it. The phone rang several times before someone answered. It was a female voice, all too familiar to Madeleine, “Hello, may I ask who is this?”
Madeleine’s complexion instantly turned pale, devoid of any color.
“Hello? May I ask who is this? Hello? Hello?” The woman on the other end of the phone, not receiving any response, continued to inquire a few more times.
Madeleine didn’t make a sound and hung up the phone, feeling as if all the blood in her body had reversed its flow, sitting dumbly in her seat.
The secretary stood in front of Madeleine’s desk, looking at her own phone that Madeleine was tightly holding, and after a long while, she said, “Ms. Madeleine?”
Madeleine came back to her senses, handed the phone back to the secretary, and then added, “The phone number I just dialed, remember to block it.”
“Understood, Ms. Madeleine.”
Madeleine did not speak, just waited for the secretary to leave the office, after which she collapsed into her office chair.
Really, what you fear the most is bound to happen…
She had just been thinking that the only person who could make Howard so distraught was that woman named Anita Madris.
The reason she had thought so was because she feared that the woman Howard truly liked had returned.
But what she hadn’t expected was for that woman to actually come back and even leave a phone number for Howard.
No wonder, no wonder Howard was lost in thought last night while holding his phone, it must have been a message from Anita Madris.
The more Madeleine thought about it, the more panicked she became. She and Howard had just begun their bliss not long ago, how could that woman have returned so soon?
