A day later, in Capital City.
At ten in the morning, in the CEO's office of the Ferguson Group.
An executive stopped Mark. "Assistant Mark, could you please take this document in for me?"
Mark hesitated for a moment before taking the file.
Ever since his boss had returned from Caledon, he had been like a different person. His seemingly stable mood could explode at any moment. He had already fired two people during the morning meeting alone. Everyone in the executive office was on edge.
Mark entered the office and braced himself. "Mr. Ferguson, Miss James is here to see you without an appointment."
York's hands hovered over his keyboard.
After a brief pause, he nodded. "Let her in."
York skillfully finished editing a wedding photo and then maximized it to fill the computer screen.
About ten minutes later, Ann walked into York's office, her heart pounding with excitement, only to find it empty.
"Please wait a moment, Miss James. Mr. Ferguson is in a meeting," Mark said before turning and leaving the office.
Ann ran her hands over the objects in York's office, her eyes shining with avarice. Poverty, she thought, truly did limit one's imagination. She never dreamed an office could be so large and luxurious. It was divided into several sections and even had a private resting suite.
She couldn't give up just like this. When York came in, she would pin all the blame on her mother, her brother, and her sister-in-law. She'd claim her family had threatened her and forced her hand. She had to find a way to convince him to help her keep the fact that she'd had a child a secret. If York softened toward her, maybe they still had a chance.
As if drawn by an unseen force, Ann approached York's desk. Her eyes, like a viper's, locked onto the woman's face in the wedding photo on the screen.
So this was York's fiancée. The bitch who had schemed to lure her back to the country and nearly gotten her thrown in jail. Once she dealt with her current predicament, she would make that bitch pay.
