Chapter 825: Chapter 822: Injured (9)

At Aegis, Seth Quinn strode out of the elevator with a thunderous expression, heading straight for his office. Busy employees walking by immediately stopped to greet him respectfully, but he completely ignored them, marching straight ahead.

Though he didn’t say a word, the frigid aura radiating from him was cold enough to freeze someone to death.

As he walked past, the employees began to whisper among themselves:

"What’s wrong with President Quinn? He looks furious."

"Yeah. Who on earth provoked him this time? Ever since he got married, President Quinn hasn’t looked this thunderous in a long time."

"Who else could or would dare to provoke him? Our boss’s wife, of course."

"Huh? You don’t think they had a fight, do you?"

"If that’s the case, we’d better pray they make up soon. How are we supposed to survive him when he’s like this?"

"Exactly..."

When Seth walked past Chase Childs’s office, Chase was still busy working. It wasn’t until Seth had passed and Chase heard an employee call out to President Quinn that he looked up. Stepping out of his office, he caught sight of Seth pushing open the door to the president’s office.

After some thought, Chase retreated to grab a few documents that needed the president’s review and signature, then approached the office door.

He raised his hand and knocked. He waited a moment, but no response came from within.

Chase remembered Holly Summers mentioning that President Quinn might be angry when he returned. Hesitating for a fraction of a second, he pushed the door open anyway and began, "President Quinn, these need your rev—"

Before he could even finish his sentence, a roar so frigid it felt thirty degrees below zero blasted from inside. "Get out! Get the hell out!"

"Yes, President Quinn!" Chase complied immediately, hastily retreating and pulling the door shut behind him.

Standing in the hallway, he caught his breath. President Quinn really was furious—livid, in fact. It seemed Holly Summers genuinely cared about him. She had even called specifically to warn him not to walk into the line of fire!

Inside the office, Seth watched the door click shut. He reached out and shoved roughly at the files scattered across his desk, feeling his irritation spike even higher.

Subconsciously, he picked up his phone to check it for what must have been the hundredth time. Still no missed calls. Still no messages.

She had promised him just a few days ago that she would never ignore him for more than two hours. But now, nearly six hours had passed, and there wasn’t a single word from her!

After leaving the film set that morning, he had gone straight to The Tuberose alone and turned off his phone. He originally figured that after a couple of hours, she might try to call or text him. If she found his phone was off, wouldn’t she be worried? Wouldn’t she think to come looking for him there?

After all, this was the exact place where he had once found her when she was drunk. In her heart, this location was where they had crossed paths the most when they first met; it carried their earliest and most abundant memories together.

She should know it was the exact same for him. And when she couldn’t find him, she should have naturally thought to look for him there.

Yet, when he finally turned his phone back on after waiting for two hours, there were no missed call alerts. There were no messages.

He had kept his phone on and waited for another two hours, but she never showed up, nor did she call or text.

He was incredibly disappointed. Sure, they had gotten into an argument, and he had lost his temper with her. But considering what she had done, wasn’t he entirely justified in getting angry?

Since she was the one who had made a mistake, shouldn’t she be the first to back down and apologize?
