When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 556: The Courage to Make the Call
This icy tone of blame is something Dustin Shepherd hasn’t heard in a long time.
Faced with the boss’s gaze, he felt the air around him was simultaneously extracted; he clearly perceived Adrian Lancaster’s displeasure, and the suppressed rage within. Dustin’s heart was anxious and uneasy.
"You knew she would be worried!" Adrian Lancaster was truly angry. "What meaning does it have to tell her this before there’s any result?!"
"Sorry." Dustin lowered his gaze, his attitude of apology was sincere.
The reason Adrian Lancaster was angry was because he was somewhat... jealous! Adrian knew that Dustin liked Faye Turner!!!
He kept wondering under what circumstances Dustin confessed this to her.
Did they meet alone?
Did they have coffee?
Did they have dinner?
In any case, he was jealous and feeling particularly bad!
"President Lancaster, we just mentioned it in casual conversation, I didn’t mean to tell her intentionally."
Dustin remembered Ivy Jennings’ ending, and he wanted to keep this job, so his attitude was really sincere, "We did not meet alone!"
Having been with him for so many years, Dustin seemed to sense something, the air was filled with a sour jealousy.
Adrian Lancaster stared coldly at him, trying to suppress the depression inside, "Really didn’t meet alone?"
"No." Dustin lifted his gaze, his attitude firm, "We just bumped into each other in the company corridor!" He really wanted to swear to him!
Upon hearing this, Adrian Lancaster’s discomfort somewhat dissipated.
His gaze softened, "Send the report to the finance department, go and focus on work now."
Dustin felt a bit like he’d received amnesty, "Yes!" He quickly turned around and dashed towards the desk, grabbed the report, and rushed out like an arrow!
Adrian Lancaster rubbed his forehead and kneaded his brow, but the depression inside him still wouldn’t fade.
His woman, nobody was allowed to harbor thoughts about her!!
That morning, Kylie Fletcher didn’t go to the crew, filming was paused for a day.
She woke from dreams, holding her phone, looking at the chat logs with Byron Moss from last night, just a few short sentences, and she’d probably read them hundreds of times.
She always wanted to find a trace of his affection for her in between the lines.
After a while, she browsed his WeChat exercise status, wanting to see if he had woken up, but he hadn’t enabled this feature.
Kylie felt a bit disappointed, she climbed out of bed, and after who knows how much courage, finally dialed Byron’s WeChat audio call.
Hearing the ringtone, her heart was tense up to her throat, afraid he wouldn’t answer, yet also afraid he would.
Not allowing herself much thought, the ringtone ended, and Byron’s voice came from the other end of the phone, "Hello."
"Byron." She held the phone, her voice gentle, "Have you woken up?"
"I have."
"Where... are you right now?"
"I’m in Fenmore Town, what’s up?" He answered quite candidly.
"You stayed overnight in town?" Kylie was a bit surprised, "Did something happen?"
"No." Byron told her, "I opened a calligraphy class in the town, wanting to help kids from ordinary families write well." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
Kylie sat on the bed, she blinked her eyes, so, his work is in the town?? Not in Argent anymore?
"Well... could you send me the specific location?" Kylie wanted to come and see him.
"Not necessary." Byron said, "The road here is bad, and it’s far."
Soon, she heard on the other end of the phone, Byron talking to someone else, sounding busy.
After a while, he said to her, "I’ll hang up now, the renovation workers have arrived."
With that, he hung up, leaving the girl holding the phone, feeling dejected and sad.
