Awake For Love: My Coma Bridegroom Chapter 72
Chapter 72
Violette froze in her tracks
The moment she realized her phone had been stolen, she was ready to give chase
But after a couple of steps, she remembered she was pregnant and abruptly stopped. She quickly turned around and headed back into her apartment complex
About an hour later, Lacey made a call to Elijah
“Sr. Ms. Dennis phone got swiped while she was out walking I went with her to report it to the police, but they said it might be a tough job to get it back Ms. Dennis came back with red eyes, said there were a whole bunch of important files on her phone. She seems pretty cut up about it all and is in her room now
Observing the situation, Lacey felt disheartened and considered that if she informed Elijah, he might be able to leverage his influence and assist in retrieving the phone.
In reality. Lacey wasn’t certain if Violette was actually crying in her room, she just said that hoping to stir up some sympathy from Elijah
Elijah had a dinner date with Derek that night
He was already at the restaurant they’d agreed on and Derek would be arriving soon.
After taking Lacey’s call, he didn’t even take a minute to make a decision.
When Derek arrived at the restaurant and saw Zoey, he frowned, “Where’s your boss?”
“Mr. Marcia, I’m really sorry. He had to leave due to a family emergency. So he asked me to wait for you and explain.” Zoey said apologetically
Derek chuckled, “What are the odds? He didn’t just cook up an excuse because he didn’t want to see me, did he?”
Zoey: “Even if my boss didn’t want to see you, he wouldn’t run away. He’s not scared of anybody.”
Derek lounged in his chair, looking at Zoey leisurely, “But as far as I know, he doesn’t get along with his family. Who in his family could have an emergency that would make him ditch me?”
Zoey: “His wife.”
Derek didn’t know how to reply.
Zoey: “I guess my boss wanted to meet with you possibly because of something about Violette. Mr. Marcia, even though it might not be my place to say, but I have to remind you, my boss is really into Violette. You’d do well to keep a respectable distance from her.”
After a moment of thought, Derek said, Zoey, have you ever thought about changing jobs? I can offer you better pay.”
Zoey responded with sincerity, “Mr. Marcia, I genuinely appreciate your offer, but changing jobs does not align with my career goals. As long as Mr. Bourne doesn’t terminate my employment, I have no intentions of leaving”
“Why not?” Derek was puzzled.
“You could ask Melinda why she doesn’t want to leave the Bourne Group.”
“Melinda doesn’t want to leave because she’s into Elijah, are you into him too?” Derek laughed.
“You could call my respect for him a kind of liking “Zoey answered honestly, ‘People always say he’s got a bad temper, but people are multifaceted. A stern–faced person isn’t necessarily a bad person, a person with a smiling face could be full of schemes
Derek “Are you talking about me?”
Zoey “No, I wasn’t hinting at you You’re actually pretty nice, but I don’t want to betray my boss.”
Zoey understood that Derek offering her more money to switch sides was an attempt to use her against Elijah.
As Elijah’s right–hand, she knew gore about him than anyone else.
“If betray Mr. Bourne today, there might come a day when I would betray you for a better offer. I don’t think you would trust someone like that.” Zoey said.
At the police station.
Elijah’s arrival made the atmosphere in the entire police station tense
The police chief, having received a call, rushed over
“Your phone got stolen? That thief’s got some nerve! I’ll have people check the CCTV footage right away! I guarantee well find your phone within 24 hours!” The chief assured Elijah, beating his chest
Elijah “It wasn’t my phone that got stolen”
“Oh, you scared me! I thought it was your phone that got…”
“My wife’s phone was stolen. “Elijah said, “Can you get it back within 24 hours?”
The police chief was taken aback, but continued to assure, “Yes! Of course! With CCTV coverage all over the city, we’ll definitely find it! I’ll have the police on it right away!”
Elijah nodded, “Much appreciated”
“No trouble at all! It’s what we’re here for The chief checked the incident report for the night and said, “Your wife is named Violette?”
