Goodbye My Arrogant Ex novel Chapter 29

Meanwhile—

Benjamin shot out of the building like an arrow, but Fiona had already slipped into her car and sped off, leaving nothing behind but a cloud of exhaust.

His face darkened. Pulling out his phone, he ordered his assistant to track down Fiona’s whereabouts immediately, then strode back toward the company with long, purposeful steps.

Back at the office, Benjamin took the elevator upstairs. As the doors slid open, he spotted several of the company’s senior board members—men whose voices carried real weight—filing out of the conference room. Marguerite trailed behind them like an anxious shadow.

“And let’s not forget,” Smith continued, folding his arms with a sneer, “you used to call us in for private meetings all the time. Ms. Taylor never had a word to say back then.”

Benjamin’s lips curled into a cold, mocking smile. “Mr. Smith, this is strictly between the two of us. Since you’ve finished your discussion, I think it’s time you left.”
