No More Waiting, She Chooses Love novel Chapter 592

"Jeez, I'm done for."

That text from Deborah just sat there staring at me for what felt like forever before I finally decided to call her. But no one answered.

Stubbornly, I tried her number again, still nothing. So, I decided to reach out to her office instead.

"Is Deborah around?" I blurted out as soon as the call connected.

"She's on leave," came the unexpected response, halting my breath momentarily. Before I could even ask, the voice on the other end inquired, "Is this Ms. Hudson?"

Surprised that they recognized my voice, I confirmed, "Yes, it's me. Why did Deborah take time off, and for how long?"

"She took personal leave, I think for three days. She's supposed to be back at work tomorrow. Ms. Hudson, you might want to try her cell," they said, still courteous despite knowing I was no longer their boss' fiancée.

Worried sick about Deborah, I pressed on, "I can't reach her by phone. Do you have any other way to contact her?"

"No!"

The blunt response sent shivers down my spine. Something was clearly off with Deborah, and here I was, miles away, unable to check on her personally.

In desperation, I asked the person on the line, "It's urgent. I can't get through to her by any means. Could you perhaps visit her place and check on her?"

"...Okay, I'll head there after work."

I couldn't wait that long. "No need to wait till you clock out. Go now, and ask your boss for leave. I'll call them right away."

"Alright, Ms. Hudson."

After they agreed, I hung up and immediately called Deborah's boss, who, out of respect for my past association with the Wagner family, agreed without hesitation.

Her arrival somewhat eased my tense mood.

"Ms. Felicia, you might want to visit the rooftop terrace upstairs. Mr. Wagner's place has a beautiful setup that I think you'd really enjoy," the housekeeper suggested.

I didn't refuse. Sitting idly was only making me more anxious, and I couldn't solve anything that way.

Reaching the rooftop, I was greeted by a sight of luxury – a swimming pool, a bar, a bookshelf with an electronic screen that could block out the sun during the day or be opened at night to view the stars.

I had to admit, Dustin knew how to enjoy life.

Among all these, what caught my eye was a large lounge chair, identical to the one I loved at the Wagner family's place.

What a coincidence, I thought. Or did Dustin also favor that style and went out of his way to get one just like it?
