?Chapter 1043:


    It wasn’t until the car slowed to a stop in front of her office building that Norton finally spoke. “Try toe home early tonight.”


    Yvonne didn’t respond. She stepped out and walked away without looking back.


    Norton watched her disappear into the crowd, sighed, and signaled the driver to move on.


    Inside the office, Yvonne found Margie waiting by her desk, grinning. She held a small bag.


    “Yvonne! Thanks for backing me up yesterday! I brought snacks as a thank-you,” Margie said, cing a small pile of goodies on the desk.


    “I should be the one thanking you,” Yvonne replied with a smile as she settled into her chair. “If you hadn’t acted so quickly, things might’ve gotten messy. How’s your hand?”


    Margie raised her hand and waved it. “All good! Barely a scratch.”


    “That’s a relief.”


    “Oh! Right!” Margie leaned in, lowering her voice. “Weren’t we going to set up that interview with Mr. Delgado? When should we do it?”


    Yvonne gave her a knowing smile. “You seem very interested in him, huh?”


    Margie, flustered, quickly waved her hands. “It’s just for work! If we can lock in this interview, the issue will be a smash hit!”


    Yvonne nodded. “True—but we’ll definitely need to get his contact from Mr. Marsh first.”


    Margie lifted her phone triumphantly. “We were in such a rush yesterday, we forgot to get his contact info. But I remembered it on my way home!”


    “You’re amazing, Margie! Quick, message him—see when he’s free so we can set it up!” Yvonne’s eyes sparkled with excitement.


    Saul’s eco-inspired concept was a perfect fit for their theme. If they featured it, this issue could fly off the shelves. Maybe it would even spark readers to be more mindful of the environment and their rtionship with nature.


    Margie eagerly pulled out her phone and texted Saul. While they waited for a reply, the two dove into their morning workload.

    Malvina, a colleague, wandered over, eyeing them curiously. “Where did you two disappear to yesterday? Don’t tell me you actually sneaked into that restaurant?”


    Margie shed a smug little grin. “Not only did we get in—we met the owner and scheduled an interview!”


    She stuck her tongue out at Yvonne yfully. The two exchanged a knowing nce but kept the details to themselves.


    Malvina blinked in disbelief. “You seriously met him? And nailed an interview? I thought you were just off goofing around.”


    “That’s because Yvonne’s amazing,” Margie said proudly, her eyes gleaming with admiration.
