From His Wife to His Uncle's Wife novel Chapter 238

The next morning, Eleanor showed up at the office before anyone else. She waited by the front doors, just like Sydney had done the day before. The security guard standing nearby kept glancing at her, clearly a little freaked out by how serious she looked.

“Um, Ms. Rolland,” he said quietly, sounding like he was bracing himself for chaos, “is there going to be any kind of... fight today?”

He looked like he was actually considering grabbing some riot gear, just in case.

Eleanor smiled at him. “Nope. Got any sunflower seeds?”

He blinked in surprise. “If you want, I could run out and buy a bag. Then you can just kick back and watch the show.”

The guard hesitated, then shook his head. “I’d better not. If we eat snacks while we’re working, they dock our pay.”

Eleanor just shrugged, not bothering to answer.

At exactly eight-thirty, Sydney and Wesley showed up at the lab building, looking like they hadn’t slept at all. Otto and Perran trailed along behind them.

It felt like half the company had gathered outside to watch. Someone whispered that Eleanor had spilled the details herself. After all, how often do you get to see a company president apologize in public?

Otto, who somehow seemed the only one with any energy left, called out, “Eleanor, sorry to keep you waiting.”

She smiled. “You didn’t. I got here early on purpose. Couldn’t sleep, I was so excited to see you all apologize.”

The crowd started buzzing. This was about to get real.

Eleanor glanced down at her watch. “It’s time. Let’s start.”

She took out her phone and handed it to the security guard. “Hey, can you record this for us?”

He froze in surprise, then nodded quickly. “Y-yeah, sure!”
