Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine Read Online Free

Chapter 742: Allisons eyes flickered with unexpected excitement, though she kept her tone light.

Alright, see you at seven then, Mr.

Shaw.

She couldnt help but suspect this was more of an excuse than a genuine reason.

What could he possibly need from a house that had clearly been unused for ages? With the documents sorted, Allison decided it was best to make herself scarce.

She got up and approached the office door, only to feel Verruckts gaze land on her, sharp and unyielding like he had a sixth sense for her movements.

Mr.

Shaw, I was just thinking of going out for a cup of coffee, Allison said, her voice casual, though her mind raced to come up with an excuse.

She couldnt figure out what was going through his unpredictable mind.

Verruckts eyes, sharp and penetrating, lifted from his desk to meet hers, as though he could see right through her words.

Alice, dont blow up the microwave on this floor too.

Allison blinked, momentarily stunned by the jab.

…Okay, she replied, thinking that was quite a blow to her pride.

It wasnt the response she wanted, but it got her out of the office.

She stepped into the hallway, glancing over her shoulder.

Thankfully, it seemed the chaos from the first floor hadnt made its way to Verruckts attention.

The ground floor and the basement might as well have been different planets.

With a steaming cup of coffee in hand, Allison wandered through the lab corridors.

Normally, the researchers paid her no mind, but now she noticed their stolen glances.

They looked at her, then quickly turned away, their curiosity poorly masked.

????????t????st ch????pt????rs in g????lnoνels.???????????? This strange behavior went on for over ten minutes before Allison decided to address it head-on.

She approached the nearest female researcher, who wore a badge labeled Judith.

Leaning in slightly, Allison whispered, Do I have something on my face? Judith Walker flinched, startled, and immediately shook her head.

No… nothing at all, she said hastily, then turned away, trying to hide her curiosity.

Allison raised an eyebrow, unconvinced.

Judith, you were clearly staring at me earlier.

Is there something you want to ask? She smiled knowingly, as if saying, If you dont ask now, youll miss your chance.

Judith hesitated, glancing nervously toward Verruckts office before blurting out, Did you really save Mr.

Shaw last night? The question caught Allison off guard.

She tilted her head, pretending to consider her answer before nodding.

I happened to be passing by.

He was bleeding heavily, so I stepped in and helped.

At her confirmation, nearby researchers, who had been pretending not to eavesdrop, gathered around her.

Judiths eyes widened in awe.

So its true? I thought it was just a rumor.

No wonder Mr.

Shaw seems to be in such a good mood today! .
