Chapter 2017 The Suspicious Trip
Even after ten days, Danrique still had not returned. The man seemed quite busy. At first, he would call Francesca
every day because he missed her, even though it was only for a few minutes.
After a while, Danrique just stopped calling. Francesca forced herself to ignore the man, but that only lasted for two
days before she started sending him messages.
The woman tried to convince herself that Danrique only ignored her messages because he was busy dealing with
urgent matters and that he would contact her as soon as he had the time.
However, she still had not heard from the man even after another two days. That was when Francesca began to
get anxious. Worried that something might have happened to Danrique, she reached out to Gordon to confirm the
situation.
Gordon then assured Francesca that Danrique was busy but fine and that the man would contact her in a few days.
Danrique also wanted Gordon to remind the woman to stop worrying about him and focus on her recovery instead.

time to contact his subordinate but not her.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave, Ms. Felch.” Gordon was not a sensitive man, so he had no idea that
Francesca was upset.
“Sure. You may leave,” responded Francesca.
However, the woman would call for Gordon once again before long. Bored, Francesca was going through the news
while lying on the sofa when she came across an article about Hazel visiting a branch of Lindberg Corporation in
Summerbank, M Nation.
Hazel kept a high profile by having the media take photos of her attending local banquets and meeting with local
politicians and wealthy businessmen. The press even hailed her as a capable businesswoman of the new generation
and someone worthy of Danrique.
Francesca became upset again after seeing the news, so she immediately summoned Gordon back to ask if the
article was true.
As a straightforward person, Gordon did not think twice before informing Francesca that Hazel had indeed gone to
Summerbank to visit the branch and that the press was responsible for the comment on Hazel’s compatibility with
Danrique.
“So Danrique’s in Summerbank too?” questioned Francesca, who was already boiling with anger.
“Yes,” replied Gordon with a nod almost immediately.
With a stony expression, Francesca instantly threw her tablet out the window and into the swimming pool without
another word. The device made a splashing sound when it plunged into the body of water.
“Uh…” Gordon was stunned when he finally realized that Francesca was mad, so he quickly added, “You mustn’t
misunderstand, Ms. Felch. Even though Mr. Lindberg and Ms. Atkinson arrived in Summerbank on the same day, it
wasn’t planned.”
“They arrived in Summerbank on the same day?” At that point, Francesca got even more upset. “I never should’ve
trusted him. I thought he went there for work, but it turns out that he only did it for Hazel.”
“No, no, that’s not it.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Shut up and get out!” Furious, Francesca refused to listen to anyone.
The woman was convinced that Danrique and Hazel were dating in Summerbank, and the more she thought about
it, the angrier she got.
Francesca decided to call Danrique. The call went through but was outright declined, which served only to add fuel
to the fire. Is that b*stard refusing to answer my call because he’s with Hazel now?
The woman then texted Danrique: Return my call immediately!
Francesca was so furious that she could not wait for another second longer.
Before long, Danrique did as requested. “What’s wrong? Did something happen?” inquired the man in an anxious
tone because he was worried.
“Are you with Hazel now?” questioned Francesca straightforwardly.
Danrique kept quiet in response as if wondering why the woman would throw such a question at him.
Francesca almost second-guessed herself and was about to mention the news article when she suddenly heard the
sweet voice of a woman.
“Danrique, I’m done changing. Let’s go!”
