Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 932:

She got out of bed and padded over to the window, taking a moment to enjoy the view outside. Afterward, she washed up, changed clothes, and headed downstairs.

Just as she had expected, Norton was nowhere to be seen. The groceries had already arrived, and they were exactly the same as yesterday’s.

“Good morning, ma’am. Mr. Burke gave instructions before he left. He said you are to prepare the same lunch as yesterday,” the housekeeper said, pulling a chair out for Yvonne as she spoke.

Yvonne stuffed a spoonful of oatmeal into her mouth and grumbled to herself. Her husband sure was high-maintenance. What a pain!

Something else occurred to her then, and she asked the housekeeper, “Did he come home last night?”

“He arrived shortly after you retired to your room. He didn’t want to disturb you, as you were already asleep when he went in.”

“At least he still knows to behave himself!” Yvonne finished her meal quickly.

Norton had barely eaten anything for lunch yesterday, and it was her fault. She decided she would make it up to him today.

“Could you wash that for me? I want to use it again,” Yvonne said to the housekeeper, pointing at the lunchbox she had used the previous day. Norton had left her at the movie theater last night to go to his little sweetheart. Despite her guilt about yesterday’s lunch, she decided she needed to get back at him for last night.

After trying her hand at lunch yesterday, she felt more equipped to do the task today.

Just like before, she snapped a few photos and sent them to Norton once she was done cooking. Then she packed up the lunchbox and headed over to his office.

Just like before, Leif was waiting for her at the reception area, and her eyes immediately lit up when she saw him.

As if reading her mind, he reached for the lunchbox and said, “Hello, Mrs. Burke. I have reviewed your resume. In fact, I went ahead and sent it to the magazine outlets you were interested in. All you have to do now is wait for them to call and make their offer.”

Yvonne grinned and gave him a thumbs-up. “Good job! I knew I could count on you! I feel so much better knowing you’re there to help me with these things.”

They stepped into the elevator, failing to notice that Shelly stood behind them, staring daggers in their direction. Her burning gaze was fixed on the elevator doors long after they had closed. “Resume… magazine…” she muttered under her breath before letting out a cold, humorless laugh.

“Miss Tucker?” the receptionist called out, feeling uneasy at Shelly’s sinister display. “Do you have an appointment today?”

Shelly whipped around and shot the poor woman a glare before storming out of the building. Yvonne and Leif were oblivious to all of this.

Believing there wouldn’t be any problems with her application, Yvonne was in such a good mood and said to Leif, “Where is Miss Tucker? I thought she’d be here again today.”noveldrama
