Female Novel
Chapter 96
Ugh.
What else could I say now that he said it so bluntly? I glared at him and said, "Why did you drink so
much then?" I said angrily, "Try to see if your brain is working. If there's nothing concerning, we can
proceed to have you discharged."
The business trip was initially intended to be short. Alas, now everything had to be delayed.
Fortunately, after the doctor determined that there were no major concerns, Sawyer was discharged
immediately after being prescribed some medicines. However, he was thick-skinned enough to claim
that I should be responsible for his wellbeing after we left the hospital.
I didn't have time to banter with him and immediately brought him to the company where Sawyer would
describe his findings of the fund embezzlement to Hogan.
Hogan seemed shocked at the revelation and ordered a thorough investigation of the Finance
Department and the other relevant divisions.
It wasn't much of a big deal. As Sawyer prepared his final report, I inspected the branch company's
operation and interviewed some staff of relevant departments. I was prepared to return to Ucrebury
once there were no other concerns found.
However, Sawyer had several tricks up his sleeves. He insisted that he had to eat something nutritious
to heal his head injury, which was why he brought me to a huge Street Food District in Asherton.
I gave Monique a call, and it took a while before she finally answered. The voice on the other end was
still sounding groggy. "Hello!"
I looked at the time and saw that it was already noon. "Have you sobered up already? Get up and let's
go shopping around the Street Food District!"
"Okay!" Monique said, "You go ahead first, I'll come over later..."
Just as I was about to hang up the phone and text her my location, I heard a deep male voice from the
other end. "You're awake!"
What the f*ck!
Did she actually manage to hook up with another man despite being so drunk last night?
"Miss Caulfield, do you care to explain yourself?" I couldn't resist asking.
"I have to go, let's talk about it later!" Monique hung up in a hurry.
Hello?
Didn't I ask Josiah to send her home last night? How did she manage to hook up?
Could that man be Josiah?
For a moment, I was so confused that I immediately gave Josiah a call. The phone rang for a long time
before he picked it up. "Arianna!"
Josiah's voice was clear. He didn't seem to have just woken up. I paused before I asked, "What are you
doing?"
Josiah said, "I'm driving, what's wrong?"
Well, in that case, it was impossible for him to be with Monique.
I laughed and said, "We just finished our work here. Do you have anything to do in the evening? If not,
let's have a meal together."
"Well, okay!" He swiftly agreed.
After hanging up the phone, I saw Sawyer said with a soured face. "Arianna, how could you?"
I gave him a strange look and asked, "What's wrong now?"
He said unhappily, "Is it so torturous to go out alone with me? One phone call after another, you can't
wait to have your friends beside you."
Sawyer was being childish so I decided to ignore him. Looking at the bustling atmosphere of Asherton,
I lamented. "Asherton developed so quickly."
My eyes were focused on one of the twin towers. I said to Sawyer, "This office building is so tall!"
Sawyer knew I was diverting the conversation away and said grumpily, "Robert Group's office is no
shorter than this. Furthermore, this is a shared office building."
"How do you know?" I was curious.
He explained, "My mother had previously partnered with a tech boss to purchase this building. She
owns a bond company here as well."
Wow, I couldn't help but admire Valerie Lawson each time I thought about her. She was a woman
who possessed remarkable beauty and abundant wealth.
I then recalled that Valerie had once mentioned about her daughter over a meal at Pearis Manor. Inovelbin
asked, "Do you also have a sister?"
