Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 291

Bonnie seemed to have a sixth sense about me. Just as I tossed away that file, she called me from an unknown number.

“Ms. Finch, have you reviewed my partnership proposal?’ No sooner had Bonnie’s voice sounded did I hung up and added that number to my block list.

The afternoon flew by.

I tidied up my desk and then headed back to Sterling Estates.

Neil and I got home about the same time. The smell of food wafting from the dining room made me instantly hungry. I sat

down at the table.

Hannah was in her maid’s uniform, looking sprightly.

Her cooking was just as good as it was at lunch. I ate till I was full. Finally, I had hope of gaining some weight.

“Ms. Finch, can | officially start work the day after tomorrow?” Hannah suddenly asked. “Tomorrow, I have to collect Oscar’s

ashes.”

The mention of Oscar made my mood a bit heavy. I nodded and said, “Alright. I’ll go with you tomorrow morning. You can rest at home in the afternoon.”

Russel’s engagement party was tomorrow night, so I was free during the day.

Hannah didn’t want to trouble me, but I insisted on accompanying her

After dinner, I went to bed early. The following morning, I had to accompany Hannah to collect Oscar’s ashes, and in the afternoon, I had to prepare for Russel’s engagement party.

I lay in bed, thinking about these things, waiting for Neil to come to bed, but he didn’t come back until I fell asleep.

When I woke up early the next morning, I saw Neil coming down from the upstairs study. He looked like he had worked late in the study last night and just slept there.
