Chapter 368

---- Chapter 368 When Donovan answered the call, Giselle spoke first ina light, playful tone. "Darling, what are you doing?" "Are you missing me already?" he teased, sounding relaxed. She chuckled and answered, "Yes. Can you come back today? I can't sleep alone." "T'll come back tomorrow . Oh, how have things been these past two days?" he asked casually. Giselle considered sharing Dorothea's criticism and the story of how she saved Nini, but she held back, afraid it would only lead to a confrontation and stir conflict within his family.

"All good," she answered casually and quickly changed the subject . "By the way, a few of the executives mouthed off at me during today's meeting. I got pissed and fired a couple of them to set an example. You wouldn't mind, would you?" Donovan didn't even bother to ask for details. "Just do whatever you want. These trivial things are yours to decide." Concord Pharmaceuticals was huge, with countless branches. He had far more important matters to deal with than personnel changes in a branch company. "Okay.

Come home early." Giselle was relieved, and after exchanging a few words with him, she hung up. She stayed at the office until the end of the day. She had ---- planned to return to the villa immediately after work, but she suddenly remembered she had left some things at her old place, and drove back there. Intruth, she didn't like coming back here. The place was filled with traces of her life with Donovan, and stepping back in there brought her back to its tragic death, making her feel suffocated. Her heart felt heavy as she went upstairs.

Just as she stepped out of the elevator, she noticed a familiar dog squatting right at her door. The moment it saw her, the dog sprang up and rushed toward her. It tugged gently on her clothes in an eager greeting. "Chipper?" Giselle instantly recognized the dog that belonged to Gideon. She crouched down and stroked its head. "What are you doing here?" The dog wagged and jumped at the door, urging her to unlock it. The moment she opened it, the dog bolted into the living room. It went straight to Donovan's old bed, sniffing here and there before settling into the emptiness.

With a soft, sorrowful whine, it curled up, as sadness flickered in its eyes. Dogs were extremely observant and possessed emotions that were identical to those of humans. Giselle could sense that Chipper had missed Donovan. That was why it had come here alone and waited patiently at her doorstep. She assumed it had come many times already. A pang of sorrow hit her as her mind flashed back to the dog ---- meat at the Holt residence. The thought of Anne's cruelty made her chest tighten. As rage flared inside her, she wanted nothing more than to murder her.

But she reminded herself that she had already married Donovan and had secured her place in Concord Pharmaceuticals . Everything was unfolding according to her plan, and she just had to wait patiently. Aweight pressed on her chest as she petted Chipper while pouring some of Donovan's leftover food for it. Gideon loved Chipper the most, so she assumed he must be frantic that it went missing. With that in mind, she took out her phone. After a long hesitation, she decided to call him so he could get Chipper. But her call went straight to voicemail, and she knew he had blocked her number.
