Under Mrs. Geoffrey’s persistent "urging," Rebecca Quentin had no choice but to co to Howard Geoffrey’s room door.
Taking a deep breath, she knocked on the door nervously.
However, no one inside answered despite her knocking several tis.
At this mont, a waiter happened to pass by in the corridor, so she asked the waiter, "Excuse , did the guest of this room return last night?"
"Are you referring to Mr. Geoffrey?"
"Yes."
The waiter smiled and replied, "I heard Mr. Geoffrey’s girlfriend ca, and he should be personally picking her up from the airport now."
"That waiter is talking nonsense, Becca, don’t believe what he said," Mrs. Geoffrey said anxiously.
Rebecca Quentin played with Andrew on the bed and toys, but she no longer had the early morning’s vibrant spirit, her eyes dim and lackluster.
Mrs. Geoffrey said angrily, "I’ll call Howard Geoffrey right now and have him co back imdiately, this is outrageous!!"
Rebecca Quentin remained silent throughout.
Mrs. Geoffrey walked to the side, picked up the phone, and called Howard Geoffrey.
However, after several calls, Howard Geoffrey’s phone continued to ring without being answered.
Mrs. Geoffrey then decided to call Howard Geoffrey’s capable assistant, Jason Wood.
The mont the call connected, Mrs. Geoffrey questioned, "Jason Wood, where did Howard Geoffrey go early in the morning? Why is no one answering his phone?"
"Uh..." Jason Wood replied hesitantly.
"Speak quickly."
Jason Wood naturally feared Mrs. Geoffrey and could only reluctantly respond, "Miss Robinson just arrived in Y City, and the boss is now resting at the hotel with Miss Robinson."
Mrs. Geoffrey’s voice raised, "Resting at the hotel?"
"Yes...yes!"
Mrs. Geoffrey forcefully asked, "Which hotel?"
Jason Wood replied fearfully, "I’m sorry, ma’am, the boss just instructed not to let anyone disturb his rest with Miss Robinson, so..."
Mrs. Geoffrey was furious, "Make him answer the phone!!"
Jason Wood answered awkwardly, "Sorry, ma’am..."
"Jason Wood, are you daring not to listen to what I say?"
"Ma’am, please don’t make it difficult for ..."
"You..."
Ending the call, Mrs. Geoffrey walked over to Rebecca Quentin with an apologetic expression.
Rebecca Quentin naturally overheard the conversation between Mrs. Geoffrey and Jason Wood, now lowering her eyelids, looking even more forlorn.
Mrs. Geoffrey sat beside Rebecca Quentin, comforting her, "Don’t think too much, when Howard Geoffrey returns, he will explain it to you personally, I assure you nothing is going on with him and Alice."
Rebecca Quentin took a deep breath and calmly told Mrs. Geoffrey, "Aunt, I have work to go to ’Oversky’ today, so I’ll have to trouble you to look after Andrew, and I’ll co back to see him later."
Mrs. Geoffrey held Rebecca Quentin’s hand affectionately, "Don’t go to work anymore, with Howard Geoffrey by your side, you don’t need to suffer this..."
Rebecca Quentin gently released Mrs. Geoffrey’s hand, "Let’s talk about the future later... Aunt, I’ll leave now." Saying this, she got up from the bed.
Mrs. Geoffrey stood up with Rebecca Quentin, still reassuring, "Becca, don’t overthink it, Howard Geoffrey and Alice are nothing..."
Rebecca Quentin bent down to kiss Andrew’s tender cheek, then turned and left.
For the rest of the day, Rebecca Quentin stayed at "Oversky" discussing design matters with Skyler Jones.
Today they purely discussed business, and everything went smoothly; Skyler Jones was very satisfied with the design she did.
Rebecca Quentin was unsure if Skyler Jones’s satisfaction with her design was unbiased, but successfully securing the deal allowed her to breathe a big sigh of relief.
"Mr. Jones, thank you for your appreciation, I believe our ’QCS’ design will definitely enhance your project!"
After signing the contract, Rebecca Quentin shook hands with Skyler Jones in a professional manner.
Skyler Jones smiled as he got up from his office chair, "There’s no need for such formality with ... I’m genuinely satisfied with your design, I wouldn’t joke around with a project worth billions."
Rebecca Quentin smiled slightly, "Thank you."
"I’ll have my secretary Karen see you out, and have her drop you back at your hotel on her way."
"No need, I can just take a taxi myself."
"Alright then, take care on the road."
"Mm."
After putting away the contract, Rebecca Quentin turned and left.
Walking out of "Oversky," Rebecca Quentin struggled to maintain the vitality on her face, which slowly turned to gloom.
She was relieved that she hadn’t let personal affairs affect work; only heaven knew how chaotic her mind was now...
From morning until now, if she hadn’t forced herself not to think about it, she wouldn’t have been able to discuss work with Skyler Jones.
