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

Chapter 886: Mr.

Stevens, you havent left yet? she said.

After slipping into her disguise, Allison appeared in front of Colton once more.

The sight of her made him stiffen, though he tried to mask it with a casual demeanor.

I was hoping to see Mr.

Shaw, he said, forcing a relaxed tone.

Has he come back yet? Colton had spent the entire day wandering aimlessly, still clueless about how to access the lab on the second basement level.

The uncertainty was eating away at him, but he worked hard to hide his growing anxiety.

He hasnt returned yet, Allison said, her voice light and innocent.

Things are a bit hectic today.

If youre waiting for him, it might take a while.

Hearing this, Colton frowned slightly, his frustration barely concealed.

Then would it be okay if I waited in the office? he asked.

I promise I wont bother anyone.

Allison pretended to hesitate, biting her lip as if conflicted.

Then, she lowered her voice.

Normally, thats not allowed, she said, glancing around as if nervous.

But if its really urgent, I could sneak you there.

Just dont tell anyone, okay? Colton exhaled, clearly relieved.

Of course! You have my word I wont say a thing! He had no idea what was coming.

com For him, it seemed like just another ordinary day at the lab.

With Verruckt out of the picture, he was eager to make the most of the situation.

Colton gave Allison a serious look and said, Whether or not I get to meet Mr.

Shaw, Ill make sure youre well rewarded once this is over.

Thats too generous of you.

A little tip is all I need, Allison replied with a bright smile.

She handed him a crisp white lab coat and led him confidently to the lab located on the second basement level.

She even took the extra step of setting him up in a lounge near the office.

Gesturing toward a door, she said warmly, Thats Mr.

Shaws office right there, as she poured him a steaming cup of coffee.

If he comes back, Ill make sure you hear about it first.

Colton took the cup with a polite nod.

Thank you, he said.

But as soon as Allison walked away, his face hardened into an icy expression.

He looked over at the office, just a few steps away, and felt a pull he couldnt ignore.

Alices words came back to him: the medication for nerve conditions was stored near the bookshelf.

Now, with the office empty and no one in sight, the opportunity was too perfect to pass up.
