Chapter 248
Audrey had truly become Alistair’s wife, and she was devoted to him completely.
Alistair felt a surge of warmth in his heart as he pondered this. With one hand, he gently lifted Audrey’s chin and, unable to resist, leaned in to kiss her red lips once more.
Alistair wanted to show Audrey through his actions that he was hopelessly in love with her and he loved her more than anyone else.
Enveloped in their kiss, they lost track of time and their surroundings.
Suddenly, a knock on the office door jolted them back to reality.
Audrey shivered all over and suddenly realized where she was.
Her eyes widened as her lashes fluttered quickly, and she pushed Alistair’s handsome face away with her hand.
She whispered, “Stop, someone’s coming!”
Audrey wondered, ‘I was completely smitten! How could we have kissed so intently at the office?‘
Audrey’s cheeks flushed instantly as she recalled the moment she felt weak all over in Alistair’s embrace.
She almost made the same mistake as Albert.
She wondered how embarrassed she would be if someone barged in and saw them kissing.
Seeing Audrey all flustered, Alistair leaned against the desk and chuckled.
He gazed at her tenderly and said gently, “Don’t worry, I locked the door when I came in, so no one can get in.”
Audrey remained silent, but her thoughts raced, ‘Should I compliment him on his thoughtfulness? Hold on. Why did he lock the door? Has he been scheming since we first stepped into the office?‘
Audrey’s eyes suddenly became serious as she glared at Alistair.
She completely forgot it was she who made the first move earlier.
Alistair slightly narrowed his eyes with affection.
Emily had been waiting outside the office for a while after knocking.
wondered, ‘Could Audrey not be in the office? I didn’t see her leave. Did she not hear the knock?‘
Just as Emily raised her hand to knock again, the office door opened halfway, with Audrey holding the doorknob and looking at Emily.
Emily looked up and saw Audrey’s swollen lips, forgetting what she was going to say. She asked, “Audrey, did I interrupt you?”
Emily blamed herself, thinking, ‘I’m such an idiot! I saw Audrey just enter the office with Alistair.
There had to be a reason why they hadn’t opened the door for so long. Why did I knock on the door at such a time?‘
Audrey’s expression turned a little awkward, her cheeks slightly warm. She avoided eye contact with Emily, pressing a fist against her lips, and softly asked, trying to stay composed, “Ahern… Did you need something?”

Emily straightened up and said, “Mrs. Rhodes has arrived and is requesting to see you. I’ve escorted her to the reception
area.”
Audrey frowned slightly, and a hint of coldness flickered in her eyes.
Fiona’s arrival at Audrey’s place now suggested that she must have had a disagreement with Albert’s mistress and was seeking Audrey’s support.
Thinking of this, Audrey showed a hint of sarcasm in her eyes.
Fiona had chosen Eliza without hesitation, even after finding out about all of Eliza’s bad deeds: Now that Fiona was in trouble, she wanted Audrey to help her.
Noticing Audrey seemed upset, Emily offered, “Audrey, if you don’t want to meet her, I can cover for you.”
The fallout between Fiona and Albert at the TV station was the talk of the entire company.
Emily understood that Fiona had come to Audrey because there was some trouble she needed Audrey to handle, and Audrey might not want to get involved.
Audrey lowered her eyes and thought for a moment.
She knew that Fiona was determined. If Fiona couldn’t meet Audrey, she would definitely be waiting at the office entrance.
Audrey simply couldn’t avoid Fiona.
Since Fiona had come to her, Audrey would like to take the opportunity to explain things clearly.
“I’ll go see her,” Audrey said.
With that, Audrey walked out of the office without a second thought and headed to the reception area.
“Well, Audrey…” Emily called after her.
Audrey turned back and asked, confused, “What’s the matter?”
Emily pointed to the office door, which was slightly open, and whispered, “Audrey, your husband is still in there. Aren’t you going to let him know?”
Emily thought, ‘It’s expected she’ll bring him along for support in this situation.
