《A Night With The Billionaire: Where Is Our Daddy?》全部章節：第 21 章 - 第 30 章

Work starts by eight am but before Audrey could get to the office that day, it was almost noon. That morning, Audrey had gotten prepared for work like every other day and also did the same to the kids only for Zoey to start running a temperature all of a sudden. At first, she didn't take it seriously as she had given her medication but it didn't subside. Her temperature did not only increase, she began to shiver, as her teeth rattled.This was what spurred Audrey into seeking for medical consultants from a doctor online but with the way she had described the situation at hand, he asked her to take the child to the hospital. “Thank goodness you are here.” Audrey said, handing Zach to the babysitter, Erica who had just arrived. At the moment, she was rushing to the hospital so that Zoey would be examined. “Things don't seem right.” Erica stated, trying to keep up with her pace as she gathered everything that she needed. “Zoey started running a temperature this morning, I need to t

Unable to keep up with the back and forth anymore, Rex had no choice but to act like a cool guy. Pushing his chair backwards, he made his way towards the coffee maker and after brewing two cups of coffee, he strode towards the couch, beckoning on her to join him.While Diane sipped from her mug, Rex kept staring into space as he held the mug even more tightly. Telling her off right away was what he intended to do but Diane wasn't going to give up so easily. Earlier, he thought that by giving her attitude, avoiding her calls and texts was going to stop her obsession but that was far from it. “Why are you interested in me? It's not as if I'm the only guy around here.” Rex said and then proceeded to take a sip from his mug. Diane on her part didn't answer his question immediately, rather, she started to swirl her hair around her fingers with her head tilted to the side. She couldn't believe her luck. Considering the way Rex had been treating her, she had expected him to throw her

Rex was hoping to find out what the problem was after his conversation with her only to get even more confused.The more time he spent thinking about it, the more confused he became. Foremost, from the way she has acted, it was crystal clear that something was bothering her and this got him curious. Secondly, he was more than convinced that she was holding a grudge against him, her tone and everything depicted this. Pushing his hand into his hair, he began to comb through it, his eyes tightly shut as he rewinded the brief meeting.Suddenly, he pushed his chair backwards and then dashed out of the office. Fortunately for him, Audrey was still getting prepared to leave. “If you don't mind, I can take you home.” He stood by the door, watching her every move. Snapping her head in direction with a forced smile dancing on her lips, she said, “I’m not going straight home.” To sound even more convincing, she added, “I have no idea how long I will spend there. I’m sorry for declining.”

With her heart still thumping, Rex let out a faint smile before going over to his seat. He waited for her to say something.Cocking her brow, Audrey pressed her lips into a thin line as she wondered what was amusing him. Peering at her watch, she confirmed she was more than half an hour late for work and instead of chiding her, he was smiling like something was amusing. “I’m sorry I came late…” She didn't get to complete her words before Rex took his weight off the table and with his hands tucked in his pockets, he made his way towards. With just a few meters separating them, he said, “It's fine but at least you should have called in that you would be late.” He said with a mild tone which made her gulp in fright. Audrey tried to speak but her heart was constricting against her chest. What is he up to this time around? Why is he acting calm when in the real sense he wants to pass my dismissal letter? — She pondered with her gaze fixated on his hand. As her heart rammed against he

“What's all these now?” Rex muttered, staring at the taxi that was slowly disappearing in the distance. Rex's eyes narrowed in frustration as he watched Audrey storm out of the cafeteria. He couldn't understand why she was being so sensitive. Hadn't he been clear about his intentions?He thought back to her words about the money he gave her that night. It looked like everything he does was always misinterpreted by her. She was always assuming he was trying to buy her off. But that wasn't it at all. And now, it seemed like history was repeating itself. Audrey was jumping to conclusions again, assuming the worst about him.Rex sighed and rubbed his temples. He didn't know how to get through to her. It was like she had a permanent guard up, waiting for him to slip up so she could pounce.Just then, his phone buzzed with an incoming text. "Rex, you're not going to win her over that easily," the text read.Was Greg spying on him?Pushing his hand into his hair, he began to tug on it, un
