NovelEnglishChapter 104 I had already agreed to see her off before heading back to work.
But when I arrived, I only saw Deborah. Ernest was nowhere to be found. "Where's he?" "Graham took him away," Deborah locked eyes with me, saying, "Felicia, even your future mother-in-law cto mediate, and you..." "It's over between Conrad and me, no matter who comes to persuade. Don't give it another thought," I cut her off, making my stance clear once again.
Deborah sighed, "Honestly, the Wagners are such a wonderful family, it's just that the leading man is a bit lacking." She was right. Everything about the Wagner family was great, but I wasn't marrying the Wagner family; I was marrying Conrad.
And if he wasn't right, nothing else mattered.

Turns out, he left his phone in the lounge area.

Ivan looked troubled, but I knew he was just the messenger.
So, I said, van, go tell Mr. Wagner is my decision. If he wants that e anyone, he might as welltoo." "Ms. Hudson..." "Mr. Collins, let's get back to work!" I didn't let Ivan get another word in and called for Ernest.
He hesitated, but then I grabbed him and strode out.
But just as we reached the door, we bumped into Conrad. His gaze immediately fell on my hand holding Ernest's. First, he sent Jacqueline to test the waters, and now this stunt with Ernest. I never knew he could stoop so low.
I saw the fury in his eyes, followed by his mocking tone, "Ms. Hudson, you think I wouldn't dare to fire you too?" "Then do it!" I shot back without hesitation.
