Semua Bab Master Blair's Fiery Pursuit: Bab 1551 - Bab 1560

Ines tried to offer Jenny some comfort. “We might not work together anymore, but it's not like we won't ever see each other again. We can still always find time to hang out together, go shopping, and get something to eat together.” “Alright.” Upon hearing this, Jenny had no choice but to accept the fact that Ines was resigning. Then, she asked, “Have you thought about what your plans are after resigning? What kind of job are you looking for next?” Ines shook her head. “I haven't thought about it yet. I’ll take a break first and think about it after.” Jenny placed a hand on her shoulder. “No need to rush. Just as you said, it’s a good chance for you to wind down and relax.” “Yeah, that's what I was thinking too.” Jenny then asked again, “When are you leaving?” “Tomorrow, I will officially leave after passing on my tasks to the others.” Jenny gasped in shock. “So soon!” The usual timeline was to submit a resignation letter two weeks before the resignation and l

Solomon proceeded to answer the call, “Hey, Mom.” Patricia’s voice was gentle and filled with concern. “Solomon, are you still working at the office? What time will you be home?” Solomon stated curtly, “I’m finished with work but I’m not coming home today, I’m going back to my apartment. Did you need something?” Patricia had always been a rather straightforward person and would never waste time skirting around what she wanted to say. With that, she mentioned, “It’s nothing major, I just wanted to talk about Tara Breugel, she’s the daughter of Uncle Breugel that I told you about before. Do you still remember her? You two met when you were kids. Anyway, she will be coming back from overseas in two days and I was thinking if you could make time to catch up with her and chat over a meal.” Solomon frowned briefly and flashed a coy smirk. “What is there to catch up between me and her? Mom, you’re not trying to set me up on a date, are you?” Patricia chuckled. “I met Tara last

“You found it?” Ines was not expecting Caleb to go through the effort for her. Caleb stated, “Yes, I also found out about the identity of the sender.” Ines immediately asked, “Who is it?” “Some woman named Queenie Howard. I think she’s the anchor at the TV station you work at, do you have any history with her?” Ines was taken aback. “Queenie?” She did not have any troubled history with Queenie. What could have possibly inspired Queenie to do this? Upon reaching this thought, she looked at the pile of vegetables inside the shopping cart and thought about Solomon. Oh no, how could she forget! Queenie was interested in Solomon! There was a period when Solomon was very affectionate with her and made a point of bringing her refreshments every day. Queenie must have gotten jealous and began spreading ill rumors about her having a sugar daddy to soil her reputation and turn Solomon against her… Caleb went on, “Ines, I have documented evidence with me. Just say the w

Ines could not suppress her emotions anymore and cried for a very long time. After she exhausted her pent-up emotions from crying, she went to the bathroom to splash her face with cold water. She stared at her reflection in the mirror, her eyes were red and swollen, her complexion sickly pale. She smiled ironically at the display. Solomon's mother was right, she never deserved Solomon in the first place. Especially not when she had done something so awful to him. With that, she gently slapped her cheeks to jolt her senses, then she went back to the kitchen. She was aware that she had let down Solomon and there was nothing she could do to make things right. The least she could do was to make him one last meal and after this, she was going to keep her distance from him and never get involved in his life ever again. Although Patricia had mentioned that Solomon would not be showing up tonight, she still cooked a whole array of Solomon’s favorite dishes. After the cooking

The place was drowned in silence when Solomon opened the door and stepped inside. Upon reaching the living room, he noticed Ines curled up on the couch and asleep. He approached her quietly and leaned over to observe her sleeping expression. Memories from when they were still together replayed in his mind. In the past, he would often find her waiting on the couch for him whenever he was home later than usual. She would often fall asleep from waiting and then ask him to carry her back to the bed. He gently tucked strands of hair behind her ear, then gently caressed her cheeks with the tips of his finger. “Hmmm…” Ines groaned and seemed to have woken up from his touch. She drowsily opened her eyes and stared at the man standing in front of her. Her gaze was still filled with sleep. Upon recognizing him, she snapped to her senses. “Solomon, you're home.” She stepped away from the couch and stood in front of Solomon, then fixed a flustered look at him. “I thought yo
