Mark Reed's darkened expression had already told Charley Zelger that her objective was achieved.
She put away her phone, donned her coat, and gracefully left.
After Charley Zelger left, Mark Reed's mood couldn't settle for a long time, and his mind was a muddled mess.
Mark Reed paced back and forth in the spacious office; his head was about to explode. If this went on, he'd drive himself mad.
Just when he couldn't find an outlet for his grief-stricken emotions, Valentine's call suddenly came in.
On the other end, Valentine didn't know that Mark Reed was in turmoil. She cheerfully said, "Mark, I have something tonight, so I won't be home to cook. Find somewhere to eat, okay? I'll be back earlier tonight!"
On any other day, Mark would definitely give Valentine absolute freedom, but now, he coldly asked, "Why aren't you coming home tonight?"
Valentine honestly explained, "A colleague's dinner, then singing."
