Breaking Free From Mr. Ceo novel Chapter 15

Chapter 15 

With utmost caution, Alan asked, “Mr. Galloway, should I take the call?” 

At that moment, Alan fully understood what it was like to walk on eggshells. 

སཾ ཏཱི, 42%– 

Julian lifted his gaze, and the storm swirling in his eyes intensified with each ring of the phone. The air in the room seemed to thicken, charged with the tension he exuded. “Take it,” Julian commanded, his voice low, like the calm before a thunderstorm. 

“Yes, sir.” Alan pressed the answer button, his fingers trembling slightly as he put it on speaker. 

Rosalie’s voice came through, dripping with clear irritation. “Alan, tell Julian my time is not to be wasted. If he can’t make it to the courthouse today, he better give me a clear time. I’m not sitting around waiting for him.” 

“Well, Mrs. Galloway…” Alan glanced nervously at Julian, but with no words from him, he was forced to tread carefully. “Mr. Galloway has very important matters to handle today. Perhaps you could wait a little longer? Once he’s finished, I can check with him again. What do you think?” 

Rosalie’s tone was sharp, filled with growing impatience. “Fine. Tell him to hurry up. Divorce is supposed to be quick, not dragged out like this. Is he even a man?” 

Alan was stunned into silence. The words hit him like a slap, but what really struck him was the darkening storm on Julian’s 

face. 

Before Alan could react, Julian snatched the phone out of his hand with a swift movement. 

“Ro-” Before Julian could finish, all that was left in the air was a loud beep–Rosalie had already hung up.
