All Chapters of Falling For Mr King: Chapter 151 - Chapter 160

“Are you freaking kidding me, Steven? You think I did this?” Marie said, crossing her arms on her chest.“I'm not saying that you did, Marie but you and I are the only ones that know about my marriage to Sandra!”“Sandra does!” She flung back, grabbing her personal items and plunging them into her purse. Steven stood on the other end of their bedroom, knotting his tie, and then put his jacket on.“If that blasted woman did this! She's going to have it in for her. She sighed an NDS for Pete's sake! Like I don't have enough on my plate to deal with already.” He said, storming out of the room.She followed closely behind, her hands swinging wildly as she took long strides to match his pace.“Where are you going?”“I have to fix this, Marie. I have to fix everything so by the time all this is done, I'll still have a company to run!”“So you're going to do what? Jet off to Japan?”“Yes! If that's what it takes. Since it's so hard for people to keep their mouths shut.”“I have no idea why y

Marie’s feet tore across the road, she had long lost her shoes and hadn’t even thought of stopping to pick them up. She knew the pain piercing her feet was nothing to be compared to what she’d feel if Zed or Sandra caught up with her. Her mind reeled with panic as she thought about what to do next. An entire stack of text messages had revealed that Zed had at first tried to bribe Cadence through Agent Smith. If she could get this to Steven before she was caught by either of them, then maybe Stveen would know where to look when she got missing.“Marie! Slow down and hear me out.” Sandra’s voice boomed from behind her. She had seen them coming and duck behind a shrub. From where she was crouched, she could see where she had parked. All she had to do was get to it, unlock it, and hope like hell that they missed her. Sweat matted her raven hair, forcing it to cling to her face as she took out her cell phone and emailed the screenshot to her private email. She was just about to email it to

“Now, Steven, I’m more than happy to renegotiate as your email said, but I was under the impression the retainer wouldn’t be up for review until the contract expires. So what gives?”If there was one skill Steven had perfected over the years, it was letting the other person lead the conversation. But he was just as confused as he was at the beginning of the conversation. Was money the reason the contract had been put under review? He pulled out his cell phone to check again and realized it had run out of juice. Mr Kaito was, however, expecting an answer. He decided to wing it and see where the conversation led.“You’re right, Mr. Kaito. But I was under the impression that your company had called for a contract review?”“No, we only issued a response to the email by your Account Director citing additional costs and asking for a review.”Had someone tried to renegotiate the contract with Kazuko Inc. without running it by him first? A muscle jerked in Stven’s cheek as he thought of the n

“Sorry, I took so long.” Sandra said as she barreled down the stairs. He was still glued to the spot with the takeout in his hand when he turned to face her.“I thought you said Marie didn't make it to your house, Sandra?” He asked.“Yes, I did. She never made it here.”“And the Mexican food made it? How do you explain that, Sandra?”She glared at him for some seconds before throwing her head back in laughter.“Are you crazy, Steven King? You think I did that to her? What did I do? Run her over with my car?”“I'm just trying to make sense of what's happening, Sandra. How come the food made it to your house and my wife didn’t?”“If you must know, Mr King. Zed came over to my house after work today. You can call him and confirm. Did you stop to think of why Marie was bringing me Mexican food? Because I asked her to! And I had already asked Zed to ask well! And shame on you for thinking I would hurt my best friend!” She screamed, waving her hands around her.“Sandra…”“No, Steven. I don'

“You know, I haven’t thought about that. I think I left it at the scene of the accident. I was just so focused on getting Marie here. When the ambulance came, I jumped in and didn’t think about anything else.” Sandra replied.“Okay, but did you see it at all?” Steven asked,“I didn’t. But honestly, that wasn’t at the top of my mind. Why? Do you think there’s something on it that can help us?”“Maybe,” Steven said as he dropped into a chair.“I mean it’s my neighborhood, so I could go look for it. James can come with me if you like?”“There’s no need. I’ll get people on it. I just needed to confirm you hadn’t seen it.”She shook her head sideways and muttered an apology before taking a sip from her Sprite can. Steven cast a longing glance at the bed, but there was no response from his comatose wife. James offered him a watery smile before sitting at the other end of the room. All three took turns napping as they waited for an update on Marie’s condition. In the evening, the doctor appe
