What are you so busy with?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dylan Finch replied, \"Busy with my girlfriend.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed was speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fair enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had no reason to make him stay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being a special assistant was exhausting. It was a small miracle he even had time to date.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dylan Finch gave a slight smile, then turned and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed glanced at the still-unconscious Walker Grant, her expression turning impassive. She then went back to playing her game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>KNOCK KNOCK!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, a knock came from the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed looked up to see Annie York walk in, carrying a fruit basket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Reed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed said, \"You could have just come. You didn’t have to bring fruit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Annie York gave a shy smile. \"I couldn’t possibly come empty-handed. You’re supposed to bring something when you visit a patient. It helps them recover faster.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze drifted to Walker Grant’s face on the bed. A flash of stunned admiration lit up her eyes, but she quickly composed herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Reed, can we talk outside?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed shook her head. \"That’s not necessary. We can talk here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Annie York hesitated. \"But won’t we disturb his rest?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We won’t.\" Chloe Reed shook her head. \"He’s unconscious right now. If our chatting manages to wake him up, that would mean he’s out of danger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Annie York blinked and managed a stiff smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed pulled her over to the sofa. \"What exactly happened the other day? Something came up, so I couldn’t make it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the question, Annie York’s brows knitted together, a clear flicker of fear crossing her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was looking for a job, so I sent out my resume. But a lot of places rejected me because I haven’t graduated. Then one day, a company suddenly scheduled an interview with me. I was so happy, I went right over. But the interview location was in a block of unfinished, abandoned buildings. Shortly after I went inside, the main gate was locked.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Annie York was still terrified just recalling it, her hands subconsciously clenching into fists. \"I couldn’t find a way out, and I was afraid there were bad people around. That’s when I called you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed frowned as she listened. \"So they just locked you inside? No one else showed up after that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah.\" Annie York nodded. \"I was confused about that afterward, too. Could it have just been a prank? But why would they prank me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed was lost in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So, they were after me all along.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’After all, I was ambushed right after Daniel Hayes left.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze fell to Walker Grant’s face, still unconscious on the bed. If he hadn’t shown up when he did, she might already be dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Annie York glanced at Walker Grant as well and asked, \"Miss Reed, who is he?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed pursed her lips, silent for a moment before replying, \"A friend.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Annie York’s eyes brightened, and a shy expression appeared on her face. \"Then, is he...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed gave her a confused look, not understanding why she was hesitating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s nothing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Annie York quickly composed herself and changed the subject. \"Miss Reed, what do you think this is all about?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed shook her head. \"I’m not sure either. Maybe it really was just a prank. The important thing is that you’re okay. From now on, if an interview location seems suspicious, just don’t go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, I get it. I’ll definitely be more careful.\" Having been through it once, Annie York was already terrified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then asked, \"Miss Reed, weren’t you planning on opening a studio? I’ve thought it over, and I’d like to come work for you. I was wondering... is there still a spot for me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",632,"2026-06-06T12:35:59.743Z",1,"novelbin.me","93f8a27772d0745cc0c0008dc571aa2be9e72160ed4e4bd593f9ecbc930059f0","our-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-chapter-413","our-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-chapter-134",518,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Four-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-cover.jpg"]
