Chapter 42 After staying in the hospital for a few days , it was only after Kaneeta repeatedly assured Atticus that she was truly fine that he finally allowed her to be discharged . The car stopped in front of a traditional style residence . Kaneeta got out , turned to look at Atticus , and asked , " Atticus , this is … " " This was prepared for you by Mr. Drayton , " Atticus said with a smile . " In fact , he bought it years ago , but he could never bring himself to tell you . " Dad … Kaneeta gazed at the well - kept residence before her , her eyes softening . Her bedroom had already been tidied up in advance , with all kinds of daily necessities prepared . A bouquet of lilies stood in a vase on the windowsill . For some reason , Kaneeta was reminded of the bouquet of lilies Woodrow had brought when he visited her in the hospital . She walked over to the windowsill , raised her hand , and gently touched the petals of the lilies . Her phone chimed with a message notification . She picked it up and saw that it was a message from Woodrow . " Do you still like the lilies ? " Her eyes flickered as she asked him , " Are the lilies in my room from you as well ? " " Yes . Lilies are calming and soothing , so I sent a bouquet over . " " Thank you , I really like them ." " I'm glad you do . " At this point in the conversation , Kaneeta suddenly didn't know what else to say . She just stared at their chat window until her phone screen went dark , and only then did she notice , in the reflection of the black screen , that the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned . Before she could figure out why she was reacting this way , she suddenly received a call from a colleague . " Ms. Drayton , you were discharged today , right ? There's a meeting with our partners this afternoon . Mr. Kuntz said you should come to the office ." "Understood ," Kaneeta replied calmly . Today's meeting was very important ; she had planned to attend anyway . Although she really didn't want to see Edmund , since she had already decided to wrap up the project properly , she couldn't let personal feelings get in the way . Meanwhile , in Edmund's office , the colleague who had just called Kaneeta put down the phone , glanced at Edmund , and said cautiously , " Mr. Kuntz , Ms. Drayton said she'll come this afternoon . " " Alright ," Edmund replied expressionlessly . " Did she say anything else ? " " No , she didn't . " " " You may go now . " The colleague breathed a sigh of relief and hurried out of the office . These past few days , the atmosphere in the president's office had been especially tense . 2 Ms. Drayton had been in the hospital and hadn't come in , and for some reason , Ms. Kuntz hadn't shown up either . And every day that Mr. Kuntz came to the office , he wore a gloomy expression , making everyone nervous and afraid to make even the slightest mistake . To be honest , Mr. Kuntz was acting strange . If he wanted Ms. Drayton to come in the afternoon , he could have just called her himself - why have someone else do it ? IN Could it be that , because of what Ms. Kuntz did to Ms. Drayton , Mr. Kuntz felt guilty and couldn't face Ms. Drayton directly ? Kaneeta arrived at the office after lunch . When her colleagues saw her , they all seemed to breathe a little easier . They hadn't thought much of it before , but after these past few days , they finally realized just how important Kaneeta was to the president's office . Kaneeta had just set down her bag and hadn't even had a chance to sit when the internal phone rang . " Ms. Drayton , please come in . " Kaneeta ignored him .
