Love Enveloped In Lies
Episode 29

“Thank you for all your hard work.” Sitting back in his chair, Scott looked at the woman who had placed the file on his desk and said briefly.

He didn’t have time to tell his mother that he wasn’t back yet. So he had to make a phone call as soon as possible.

“Boss, can I come out and make a call?”

“Yeah.” Scott agreed without hesitation. As he saw her hurry away, he heard a faint voice in the hallway.

“Mom, I have to work overtime today. I don’t have time to come back. You don’t have to wait until I go to bed early. “

“Michelle, how are you feeling tonight in your office? How about I pick you up at home? It’s too late now. I worry about you if you work alone overtime. “Olivia’s voice came from the other end of the phone.

“Mum, don’t worry. I’m an adult now and I’m fine. Besides, the place I work is a big company. Some security guards will be on duty. It’s all good. “

After much persuasion, Olivia finally hung up. Michelle looked down at the phone, feeling a little uncomfortable.

She’d thought she’d be able to stay with her mum once she got back to work, but she hadn’t expected her to be so busy with work. Sometimes he didn’t even have the energy to cook when he got home.

Suddenly, she felt like an unaffiliated daughter.

It was the first time she had been so busy and she wasn’t used to it. But that was the secretary’s daily routine.

Moments later, someone delivered the takeaway and she was hungry all day. Seeing the delicious food, Michelle couldn’t stand it any longer. She pressed her lips together and watched Scott’s slow action, which made her a little anxious.

“Start eating.”

“Good.” She’d been very nervous all day. After he relaxed, his appetite increased enormously and he quickly devoured them.

“You can ask for more if you like.” Scott watched her eat and couldn’t help but laugh.

Michelle couldn’t think of anything else but shook her head.

After lunch they returned to their own stations to continue their work. However, as he finished correcting a document, the light above his head suddenly went out!

Visibly, he stopped and looked around. “Is the power off?”

Then the opposite door opened and clear footsteps were heard in the corridor. She knew it was Scott. The electricity had been cut so that the company lift could not be used. Scott wandered down the corridor for a moment before returning.

This is the 23rd floor. I’d be tired if they had to go upstairs.

They had to wait.

He wasn’t afraid of the dark. But the company was too big and too quiet.

He activated the torch function on his mobile phone. Because of the dim light, he couldn’t use the bright light to continue processing the unfinished documents.

He opened the office door and wanted to get out and see what was going on. Then he heard Scott’s voice from the president’s office. “The fuse blew, but don’t you know you should have someone fix it? I’m inviting you here for nothing. Hurry up and get someone to fix it! “

Although they were separated by a door, Michelle could still hear a trace of fear in his voice. She frowned and wondered why a man would behave like that now.
