    Chapter 561 Won’t He Be Angry?


    If Victoria wasn’t married, Summer would have readily agreed if the woman asked her to sleep over.


    However, since Victoria no longer lived alone, it would be impolite to agree at once.


    Therefore, Summer immediately looked at ric subconsciously.

    “Why are you looking at him?” Victoria asked when she noticed Summer’s gaze. Then, she turned to


    look at the man as well. “Are you refusing to let me go?”


    ric was caught off guard while being looked at and he answered helplessly. “Why would I? Let’s go.


    I’ll get the driver to inform the servants to prepare ahead of our arrival.”


    Summer was surprised that he agreed to it.


    On the other hand, Victoria hugged Summer, feeling ted. “Tonight, let’s sleep together.”


    Summer nodded awkwardly and responded, “Sure.”


    ric initially sat with Victoria in the backseat, but after getting into the vehicle, he


    because of Summer.


    He sat alone in the passenger seat, his gaze gloomy.


    was forced to ride shotgun


    However, he had to suppress his bitter emotions inside. After all, he knew that Summer was Victoria’s


    only close friend.


    That night, Summer offered to let Victoria stay at her ce. The guest room was clean, and the linens


    were new thanks to the housekeeping staff.


    After taking a hot bath to wash away the exhaustion, Summer’s skin still had a rosy hue when she


    came out of


    the bathroom.


    When she came out, she saw someone lying on her bed. “Victoria?” she called out.


    ‘Are you done with your shower?” Victoria asked, already in her pajamas. She sat on the bed and


    patted the spot next to her.


    Summer was a bit surprised, not expecting Victoria to keep herpany for the night. She thought it


    was just a passing remark; even if it weren’t, ric wouldn’t have allowed her toe over.


    ‘What’s wrong?” Victoria asked curiously when she saw Summer standing still and staring at her.


    ‘It’s nothing,” Summer replied, realizing her foolishness. She walked over to the bed as it had been long


    since shest slept with her best friend. It’s great that we get to have sleepovers like this.


    However, Summer was still slightly worried and asked, “Won’t ric be angry that you are here with


    me?”


    Victoria was a bit puzzled by the question. “Why would he be angry?” she asked.


    I’m keeping my best friendpany, not another man. If this is enough to make him mad, I don’t think


    I’d be able to tolerate it.


    “After all, I took his wife away. If not for me, he would be with his beautiful wife now,” Summer replied.


    Victoria chuckled “Come on it’s just one


    thinl


    “Really? Summer questioned.


    “Yes,” Victoria replied.


    Summer asked again, “Do you have the heart to do so?”


    “What is there to be reluctant about?” Victoria asked in return.


    Summer stood still and thought for a while. Suddenly, she got under the quilt to hug Victoria, after


    which they bothughed happily.


    Just like when they first met while they were younger, they tickled each other and rolled around the bed


    together.


    After calming down, they talked about anything and everything, sharing all of their thoughts.


    In the end, both of them chatted until they fell asleep.


    Even though they were adults now, their habits did not change a bit.


    As soon as theyy down, they both hugged each other. Then, Summer startedining about all


    the weird things she encountered at work and about Erik.


    Victoria listened quietly and responded every now and then.


    As they chatted, Summer’s phone rang. She nced at it and saw that it was Erik calling.


    She thought, What time is it? Why is he calling me? Doesn’t he need to sleep? Wait, it’s daytime over


    there.


    After taking a deep breath, Summer turned to Victoria and said, “Let me take this call.”


    “Sure,” Victoria answered.


    “Hello, Mr. Ludson?” Since Summer answered almost at once, Erik was caught off guard, not expecting


    her to


    pick up the call so soon.


    Summer couldn’t hear his voice, so she moved the phone away from her ear and whispered to herself,


    “Did he dial the wrong number?”

    Erik heard another woman’s voice in the background just as he was about to speak. “Who is that?”


    He immediately recognized the voice thanks to his incredible memory. The voice belongs to the woman


    Summer and I went looking for back then. It’s Victoria. Seems like Summer didn’t respond to my


    message earlier because she was too busy with her best friend.


    Erik quickly found an excuse for the woman.


    “Shh!” Summer put her index finger to her lips, signaling for Victoria not to speak.


    Victoria covered her mouth while Summer said, “Mr. Ludson?”


    He hummed in response just then.


    “Was the signal bad just now? I didn’t hear your voice on the other end,” Summer asked.


    “Yeah, the signal might not have been great.” Erik’s voice was calm. “Are you at the hotel already?”


    “No, I’m staying at a friend’s ce tonight. Mr. Ludson, is there something urgent you need to speak to


    me about at this hour? Is there something wrong at work?”


    Erik was silent for a while on the other end. Summer seemed to hear him sigh before he finally said,


    “There’s a bit of an issue, but considering the time difference between where you are and here, let’s


    just forget about it.”


    Summer was speechless.


    “Okay, I’ll hang up now.” Erik quickly hung up the phone.


    Summer was annoyed as she listened to the busy tone on her phone. She threw her phone aside and


    startedining to Victoria, saying, “I told you this person is not just a workaholic, but also a ve


    driver to his subordinates. I’ve already quit my job, but he still wants me to handle work!”


    At this, Victoria blinked her eyes. She had no memory of their past, so she had no idea what had


    happened


    between them.


    However, based on Summer’s description and the fact that he called in the middle of the night to ask


    about


    work, it seemed that he was indeed a workaholic.


    “Haven’t you handed all your work over?” asked Victoria.


    “How is that possible? I handed over my work a long time ago. Audrey is quite capable,” Summer


    replied.


    “Why would he call you about work, then? Shouldn’t he call the person you handed over your work to?”


    Victoria


    questioned again.


    Summer nodded in agreement. “Exactly. I don’t understand why he would call me.”


    The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. “The next time he calls me about work, I will


    tell him off! I no longer work for him, so I don’t care about offending him!”


    Nheless, Victoria spoke up just then. “Maybe he wasn’t calling about work. Perhaps he just wanted


    to check if younded safely.”


    Summer shook her head. “Impossible. He was already asking me about work. While picking up my


    luggage earlier, I saw his message and replied to him right away. Take a look for yourself.”
