Chapter 289


    ra Calloway quickly covered her face while saying, “No, nothing! I might just be feeling a bit hot.”


    “Hot? Could it be hot in this weather? Besides, we have air conditioning in the office.” After suddenly


    connecting the dots, Ricardo replied, “Hold on, did Mr. Melendez just drop by?”


    .. ra wished she could find a hole and crawl into it right now.


    “Did I guess right?” Ricardo still hadn’t entirely grasped the situation, mumbling to himself, “Mr.


    Melendez is really something, leaving just now but to have mee to ask you what you want to eat.”

    “Well…I’m not hungry, and I don’t feel like eating anything. You go ahead! No need to bring me


    anything.” ra tried her best to change the subject.


    “Mr. Melendez might not be happy about that! You should eat something! We’re going to do a site


    inspection this afternoon. Are youing?”


    “Yes!” ra blurted out, remembering her current situation, “Um…maybe not today. I’ll go next time.”


    Seeing her react this way, Ricardo felt a bit thrown off.


    He initially thought ra woulde along. After all, she seemed really keen on it before.


    “Okay.” Ricardo turned around and walked out of her office. At the door, he suddenly realized!


    Earlier…maybe Mr. Melendez and Ms. Calloway did more than just kiss, which is why Ms. Calloway’s


    face turned red. So perhaps Ms. Calloway is feeling a bit weak now, so she declined!


    Ricardo pped his hands.


    “Why didn’t I think of that earlier? Good heavens…this, this is too exciting…”


    Taylor Atwood was restless in his office.


    He didn’t even feel like holding today’s meeting because Leah had sent him some surveince footage


    from the hospital.


    In the video, ra was tugging at his mother’s sleeve, pleading with her, only to be pushed down again


    and again. And then she got up, pleaded again, and got pushed down again…


    He was all too familiar with his mother’s figure and had a tech person confirm that the footage wasn’t


    doctored.


    So ra really did a lot for him back then.


    Taylor suddenly got up, and his secretary immediately asked, “Mr. Atwood, what’s wrong?”


    “Cancel the meeting, I need to go home.”


    “Huh?” The secretary looked troubled, “The meeting today is quite important. It’s been postponed


    several times already. It’s not suitable to reschedule it again!”


    “Then you hold it in my ce.”


    The secretary quickly waved her hands, “No way, Mr. Atwood! I’m just a secretary; taking over like this


    will raise suspicion! Ourpany is already in a shaky situation, with all sorts of spection from the


    outside. It’s really not suitable for any more rumors.”


    Taylor frowned, “Anyway, I have to go. You deal with the rest.”


    Ignoring any objections, he just walked out.


    Behind him, the secretary called Teresa.


    “Mr. Atwood just left quickly; he said he needed to go home! We can’t cancel the meeting now. What


    should we do?”


    “Don’t panic; I’ll talk to him when he returns! He might be dealing with some mental problems. I’ll help


    him sort it out.”


    “That’s great!” The secretary sighed in relief and then said, “I’ll wait for your news.”


    After hanging up the phone, she was still worried and informed the assistant below, “Tell the


    shareholders that the meeting might be dyed for a while. Mr. Atwood is not feeling well. He will be


    back after seeing the doctor.”


    “Okay, I understand.”


    Taylor sped home in his car.


    Teresa was already waiting for him at the door. When he arrived, she asked, “Son, what happened?”
