My Great Escape Led Me to You (Emily Blair) novel Chapter 1068

Emily Blair’s thoughts were a tangled mess, caught somewhere between resentment and something softer she couldn’t quite name. She closed her eyes, took a long, steady breath, and let it out, trying to clear her head.

No matter what had happened, she didn’t want anything bad to happen to Andrew Lane because of her.

Elizabeth Wilson was standing nearby, her gaze full of concern and a hint of something Emily couldn’t read. She seemed to understand just how twisted up Emily felt. Anyone in her shoes would be struggling to make sense of it all.

Emily glanced back at Andrew, just once more, before forcing herself to turn away.

Then someone called out behind her.

“Ms. Blair?”

She turned and saw a young man in a crisp suit and glasses. She recognized him as Andrew Lane’s assistant, though she only remembered seeing him after she’d left Riven. He must have started around then.

With Andrew stuck in the ICU, Emily just blurted, “Has his work been affected?”

The assistant paused, then said quietly, “There wasn’t much business for him here. Everything’s been handled. He was supposed to go back to Riven a few days ago.”

Emily caught something in his voice and eyes, but she didn’t say anything.

He hesitated, looking like he wanted her to ask more, but when she kept quiet, he finally went on. “Ms. Blair, a few years ago, Mr. Lane replaced all his secretaries and assistants.”
