Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 284

"Celebratory envelope?" Ryan paused at that. He didn’t know one was delivered to him. Usually, all the invites and notes like that are sent to the Foster Residence and her mother took care of them. Why would suddenly someone send it to his place.

Zenith hummed, explaining. "Yes, the red one that comes with a note card inside." She paused briefly and then added. "It seems like someone has kept it here for you. It has your name and …"

Her voice trailed off as if she was trying to look for something else.

"And?" Ryan probed.

"And there is the sender’s name at the bottom," she said as she read further. "It says ’Winslow’."

Ryan halted at that name. He didn’t need time or any energy to recognize that name. He has that name constantly on his mind recently.

When Zenith didn’t hear him, she thought she wasn’t being clear enough. Hence, she reiterated, "The sender goes with the name Winslow. That’s quite a unique name as we have never heard it often. Sir, do you know someone with that name?"

She asked, skeptical. If her boss wouldn’t know anyone, it would only mean two things. Either this was anonymously sent and could impose threat to her boss, or maybe she was known and this envelope wasn’t for him, which further means she would have to drop it of at the security desk.

"Sir, you are still there?" Zenith asked again when she didn’t hear Ryan confirming even after a moment.

"Zenith," Ryan’s voice came more with a force that startled Zenith on the other wind of the call. She would have affirmed her presence, but before she could she heard him add, "Leave than envelope inside on the table. I will check it when I return."

"Oh…" Zenith didn’t know what changed her boss’s mood but she could tell he was grim at that moment. His voice sounded more like a growl and she was so startled that she didn’t even grasp her own reaction. Once she did, she composed herself and quickly reacted in a right manner. "Okay, sir. I will take the envelope inside with the files and leave it on the table."

Ryan grunted and after that hung up the call. After he pushed the phone back in his pocket, his facial features hardened while his fingers clenched. Winslows. He didn’t need to ask it around anyway. He knew who was looking for him.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the city, at East Serenity Residence, Margaret stared at the old lady who sat in the living hall, looking serious. It’s been a while since the call has been hung up, the tension that it stirred hasn’t dissipated.

"Madam, it’s time for your dinner. You should get it done so that you can have your medicine in time," Margaret said, trying her best to make the old woman realize the time.

Brenda gaze darted to the clock on the wall and her brows furrowed in displeasure. But she didn’t say anything. She simply sat that, pondering over something.
