Chapter 585

Adina did not know where she was.

There was suddenly a bloody fog in front of her, and a huge rush of blood flooded over her. Then, an infinite feeling of suffocation gradually came over her.

She breathed heavily, but she heard the familiar voice of a man, which came from deep within the bloody fog.

"Addy... "Addy..."

She heard it again and again; it sounded like the desperate cries of someone facing death.

"Who are you? Where are you?!"

Adina screamed at the top of her lungs, and her voice resounded in the bloody fog, but she stopped hearing any replies.

Her heart instantly tightened as if someone had stabbed her in the heart with a knife and twisted it viciously.

It was painful...

Her heart was in pain...

She was in agony...

When Adina opened her eyes abruptly, she realized that it was just a nightmare.

She had been experiencing the same nightmare for a dozen days after she fell asleep every night.

The person who kept calling her name in the dream was Duke, right?

She had to be having this dream repeatedly because she missed that man so much. They had been separated for too long after all.

Adina touched her hair that was drenched in sweat before she got up and entered the bathroom to take a shower.

She calculated the time. It was the sixteenth day of Duke's business trip. She did not know when he would come back. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FɪndNovᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

It was still very early when she stepped out of the shower. The children had not woken up yet.

Mrs. Winters, on the other hand, was arranging a pot of valuable orchids in the courtyard.

When she saw Adina coming out, she raised her head with a smile and said, "I heard that you're moving your office today? I'll ask Mr. Brown to bring some people there to help you." Adina smiled and said, "There's no need. I already hired a moving company. It's not a big deal."

She paused for a while before she continued. "Mom, did Duke tell you when he'll be back?'

Mrs. Winters' hand froze all of a sudden while she was watering the plants. She looked aloof as she said, "He never tells me about such things. Ever since he turned fifteen, he's been very independent and opinionated. Sometimes, he won't even inform me when he goes overseas on a business trip. I'm already used to it. Addy, don't worry. Duke is a responsible and committed man. He won't mess around."

Adina pursed her lips.

She was not worried about Duke messing around. She just felt that it was abnormal for a newlywed couple to not contact each other in half a month.

On top of that, she had been feeling anxious over the past half a month as if something serious had happened without her knowledge.

Adina sighed before she drove to her company.

LaStar Technology Corporation had integrated with Daugherty Corporation over the past two weeks. The logo on the facade of Daugherty Corporation's building had already been replaced with a relief of LaStar Technology Corporation.

A few dozen staff members of LaStar Technology Corporation needed to move to Daugherty Corporation's address.

From this day forth, LaStar Technology Corporation was officially established in Sea City.

There were not many office supplies in a small office of around one hundred square meters, but the dozen or so employees had already made two to three trips to move them out.

Mr. Roberts from the company next door stood in the corridor with an envious expression as he watched the staff of LaStar Technology Corporation work busily.

"She's just relying on Winters Corporation." His secretary rolled his eyes contemptuously. "This is like the Cinderella story where a poor girl marries a prince and becomes a princess."

"Shut up!" Mr. Roberts lowered his voice and scolded him in anger. "I planned to get along with Ms. Daugherty in the beginning, but you were the one who kept rambling about how terrible she was, which made

me lose a possible business collaboration partner. Okay, I don't need a secretary like you either. You can go to the HR Department and complete the resignation procedure."

The secretary widened his eyes in shock. "Mr. Roberts, everything I've said and done has been for the company's sake. What did I do wrong to warrant this firing?"
