After Our Fall, Love Reclaimed
Chapter 4
Joel ended the call and glanced over at Jayden Lewis standing by the large window. He wasn't entirely sure why Jayden had instructed him to speak in that way, but he sensed there was more to the situation than met the eye.
It seemed as though Mr. Lewis wasn't as indifferent to Miss Rivera as he claimed to be.
“Did you get the medication?” Jayden asked.
“Yes, it’s all in here.” Joel quickly handed over the bag. The items inside were clearly meant for Miss Rivera, with ointments for treating wounds and reducing scars.
Jayden nodded in acknowledgment. “You can go now.”
About forty minutes later, the phone call from the front desk was transferred to the secretary’s office. Joel knocked on the door before stepping in, speaking with careful precision.
“Mr. Lewis, Miss Rivera sent a package…”
Before Joel could finish his sentence, the ceramic paperweight on the desk was suddenly flung to the floor with a crashing sound. Joel kept his eyes down, not daring to make a sound.
After a brief silence, Jayden chuckled. “Well, it seems like we haven’t seen each other for a few months, and she’s certainly become bolder.”
