Resent, Reject, Regret

Chapter 666

‘Kyran… Brendan…’

Charlene’s pupils shook violently. “Get someone to keep watch on Deirdre, quickly! Look into the man named Kyran, who is always with her while you’re at it!” Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

“Uh…” Mitch leaned against the chair and expressed his amusement.” Charlene, you must be joking with me, right? Do you know that someone is protecting Deirdre? Let alone keeping watch on her. I don’t even f*ck*ng know where she is.”

“I know you have your ways of doing it!” Charlene was extremely agitated and struck the table while she shouted, “Mitch! We’re in the same boat. Don’t you dare be unappreciative after helping you frequently in Brendan’s name!”

Mitch had his legs crossed and said in a cynical tone, “It seems that you’re of no use to me now. Brendan has left you, so why should I stay? Besides, do you think that you can still seduce me with your beauty like you did in the past? Eight out of ten of the hostesses at the club have a plastic surgery face like yours.”

“You!”

Charlene was furious that Mitch would compare her to the hostesses at the club because he used to try to please her so badly.

In her current abject state, she lost everything after losing Brendan. She put up with it and softened her voice when she said, “I still have my use. Don’t worry. Just do as I said, and I promise that Brendan will come back to me obediently.”

In the next few days, Glenna did not call Deirdre even once, nor did she pay a visit.

Deirdre could not stand it anymore and called up Glenna, but the latter was hesitant while speaking to her. She made up a bunch of excuses and lied about being busy to hide her recent, unusual behavior.

Deirdre did not believe the excuses, but Glenna would always end the calls in a rush. She could not manage to get an answer, so she reached out to Declan.

Declan spoke in his usual, gentle tone. “Glenna? She’s been very busy with work recently, I guess. It’s the start of the year, after all. The company is receiving a lot of orders, so she will need to work extra hours for some time. She will be fine when the busy period is over.”

Deirdre said in a soft voice, “Don’t lie to me, Mr. King. Tell me the truth. Are you two… in some sort of a conflict?”

Declan kept quiet.

Deirdre asked, “Both of you were constantly debating about fairness on that day. What does that mean?”

Declan hesitated for a short while before telling her, “We did get into a small conflict, and it was mostly my fault. You don’t need to be bothered by this, Miss McKinnon. As for Glenna…I’ll clarify the situation with her by paying a visit to her personally.”

Declan called over Fionn after ending the call.

“What is Glenna’s food preference?”

Fionn raised his head abruptly, and his body trembled. “Sir, what… What’s going on?”

Declan was amused by how Fionn was sensitive to Glenna’s name. “Why are you so anxious? Are you worried that I’ll go after your Glenna?”

“Why would I!” Fionn muttered, “I know how you conduct yourself very well, sir…”

He was worried that Glenna had done something inappropriate because he knew

Glenna too well, after all.

“She likes prunes.”

“Prunes?” Declan was troubled. Glenna did not play by the rules, just as he had expected. “How am I going to get prunes when it’s spring?”

“Prune-flavored dessert works too.” Fionn said, “You can get it downstairs.”

“Sure.”

Declan had always been a doer. He packed up the documents and headed downstairs to get some prune-flavored dessert before driving to Glenna’s company.

“Glenna!”

Glenna was sitting absentmindedly in front of the computer when her colleague approached her in excitement. “A handsome man is looking for you at the door!”
