Chapter 157 - She Isnt Here (1/2)
Ch-156
”Hello,” a deep masculine voice could be heard from the other side.
”I thought you would never call me,” the other side said. His voice was too husky and masculine for her to take in.
”Why?” Eleanor asked, regaining her senses.
”It's just that… your company is back on track. And apart from this, you have nothing to ask help for,” the other side.
”I need help. Not with one thing but with many,” she said in her weak voice.
”If you are sick you shall rest instead of talking with me,” he said.
”Well… let's not talk about me anymore. Let's get into business,” she said.
”Okay. What do you need?” he asked.
”What shall I call you?” she asked.
”Hmm… you can call me Juke,” he said.
”Juke… I need the information of….” she asked him about the three annoying shareholders who were trying to gobble up the Zora groups from the start.
”I will get the information as soon as possible,” he said.
”Also, can you get me the information about Nathaira? The relationship between Nathaira and Cedric?” she asked.
”Sure. This may take time,” he said.
”It's fine. As long as I get to know about them,” she said.
”And… I want to retrace the accident that happened to my brother. Also, the one who tampered the medicine in his previous hospital,” she said.
”Any more?” he asked.
”Nope,” she said.
”I will get back to work,” he said.
”Bye then,” she said before hanging up.
She felt half of the burden was removed from her head. Dragging her tired body, she entered her room inside the office. Closing it, she stripped her clothes and only left with undergarments. Her head was spinning, she wanted to sleep. But her body was too sweaty. So, she took a quick shower without getting her hair wet. After a quick bath, she wore a bathrobe and went back to her bed. Turning off the lights, she slumped on the bed. Soon, sleep took over her.

On the other side….
Cedric doesn't know how to face Eleanor. So… he decided to run away from her before she wakes. But… nothing was helping him. At the very same time, he was ashamed to face her. On the other hand, he felt that it wasn't wrong to sleep with the person we love.
At the very same time, Edward came and laid a problem. That led him to solve unsolvable deal things. He directly went to the company, got the papers drafted and drove to Ashbrook's house.
After nearly three hours of talking with them… they agreed to give him a chance. On the other hand… There were three doctors from the other department, hospitals and they were replaced in the hospital.
After talking to them… he felt happy at least he was getting a chance to get the deal. With a happy mood, he drove to his apartment. He remembered Eleanor's ill health all of a sudden and left for the hospital. But he found she was no longer there. He asked everyone but everyone said they didn't know about her.
He called Aiden to ask about Eleanor.
”Hello, Dad,” he called out.
”Cedric, what happened?” Aiden asked.
”Is Eleanor with you?” he asked.
”Nah… she should be in hospital,” he said.
”She isn't…” Cedric was about to say something but was cut off by aiden.
”She also said she would stay over in Myna's place,” he said.
”Thanks, dad,” Cedric replied.
”Hmm… I am happy that you agreed with Eleanor's decision, Son.” Aiden said. Aiden can understand that Eleanor didn't discuss the marriage postponing with Cedric. And he was sure that one way or another… Cedric was the reason for her tears today. And he would make him cry. After all… who asked him to make his daughter cry.
”Dad… what are you talking about?” Cedric asked feeling confused.
”Don't act like you don't know. I am talking about your marriage registration postponement,” he said.
”Dad…” Cedric wanted to ask something but he got cut off by Aiden.
”Ok, Son. I will hang up now. Take care,” he said. A smirk was dancing on his lips when he hung the call. If he gets to know, Cedric was the reason for his daughter's tears, Cedric could only dream of marrying Eleanor.
