Chapter 53 Why Apologize?
Wendy took a few shaky breaths, pushing herself up with her hands.
“W–what if I don’t?”
“You don’t?”

Ethan’s face didn’t change, though there was a tiny teasing curve on his lips. “Of course, you could always try … and see if I’d ruin you.
“Also, don’t let Dawn find out about today.”
Wendy pressed her lips together, all her frustration and anger trapped inside.
Even though she had done well abroad, at the end of the day, she was just an ordinary person. She knew very well what happened when someone tried to go against the big boss.
That afternoon, Dawn got a message from Wendy trying to make peace. She calledst night an ident and said she wanted to meet and apologize properly.
Thinking about yesterday still made Dawn shiver.
She took a screenshot of the message and sent it to Janice, then to Ethan.
Janice called almost right away. After checking that Dawn was okay, she brought up Wendy.
“If she dares to talk about meeting in broad daylight, we don’t need to be afraid. Send me the address when you get there. I’m involved too–she owes me an apology.”
Dawn still felt a tight knot in her chest. “And that’s it?”
“Let’s <i>see </i>what she has <i>to </i>say
first.”
For now, there was no solid proof that she and Marshall had worked together. Not meeting her wouldn’t help them get anything on her, so it was better to y it by ear. <fn7b65> Chapters first released on find?novel</fn7b65>
Dawn thought about it and said, “Okay, I’ll tell you once she sends me the address.
After hanging up, Ethan’s WhatsApp pinged.
One word. “Go.”
Dawn stared at it for a moment, muttering, “Looks like he’s really busy … He doesn’t even have

time to type more.”

Of course, Dawn didn’t know Ethan was keeping his message short to avoid showing too much.
At least she had an answer. She took a deep breath, went back to her room, changed, and headed out.
Wendy had picked a coffee shop just ten minutes from thepany. Dawn spent the ride getting herself mentally ready and sent the address to Janice. Only then did she finally feel a little safer.
“Ms. Richardson.”
Even though her heart was still racing, Dawn kept her face calm, showing nothing.
She studied Wendy coolly and spoke softly, “If you have something to say, we could’ve talked at the office.”
Wendy felt that her neck and jaw were sore just looking at Dawn.
In the office, she hadn’t realized it, but outside…
When that man had grabbed her, he really used force.
He really tried to choke her to death!
Wendy’s face went pale as she forced out a weak smile. “Some things are hard to say at the office … Have a seat. Want something to drink? I’ll call the server over-”
“No, thanks!”
Dawn didn’t dare touch anything she offered.
Interrupting her, she said, “Ms. Richardson, just get to the point. I’m busy. I don’t have much time.”
Seeing Dawn finally sit, Wendy breathed a little easier and took a steadying breath before pulling out the design drafts. “These … are the design drafts you gave me before. I’m returning them to you.”
“What?”
Dawn frowned, a little confused.
<i>Isn’t </i><i>she </i><i>supposed </i><i>to </i><i>apologize</i><i>? </i><i>Why </i><i>are </i><i>we </i><i>talking </i><i>about </i><i>design </i><i>drafts</i>?

Besides… “Didn’t you already give them to the boss?”

Hearing this, Wendy’s anger red again. She snapped in a mocking tone, “Yeah, I gave them to the boss, but who knew the boss was so close to you?”
Dawn was even more confused.
“I… I don’t even know who the boss is.”
“You don’t know him … but it doesn’t mean he doesn’t know you.”
Wendy tried to stay calm, but remembering Ethan’s warning, she swallowed the rest of her words and changed the topic. “As forst night, I wasn’t thinking clearly. I shouldn’t have left you two there. That was my mistake.”
Dawn looked at her reluctantly, puzzled.
<i>If </i><i>she’s </i><i>not </i><i>sincere</i>, <i>why </i><i>apologize</i><i>? </i>
Wendy wasn’t really the type to apologize.
But since she had spoken, Dawn had to hear the truth.
“Ms. Richardson, you said you didn’t intentionally leave us there, but the fact is, when you left, Janice and I called you, and you didn’t even look back.
“You might not have made a deal with Marshall, but about his harassment toward us at work, you were clearly a bystander. Because of that, Janice and I were put in danger.
“So I won’t forgive you, and I don’t ept your apology.
“Of course, you’re my superior–I can’t change that fact, but that’s it. I reserve my judgment.”
Dawn’s clear, firm voice said it all, making Wendy’s heart beat fast.
She doesn’t <i>ept </i><i>my </i><i>apology</i>?
