A Night's Mistake: The Besotted CEO's Obsession

Chapter 244

After breakfast, Cynthia and Hallet went to Larson Group.

When they passed a pharmacy on the way, Cynthia remembered she was supposed to get birth control pills.

So, she stopped the car and told Hallet in the passenger seat, “Glimme a minute, Halles. I’ll go get something

She then went straight into the pharmacy

Hallet watched her back and frowned in confusion, wondering why she would hit the pharmacy early in the morning.

Thinking that he had stuffed himself to the limit the night before and had indigestion, he decided to follow her inside to get some medicine for digestion.

Cynthia barely had a chance to ask the staff for some morning–after pills when she saw Haller setting foot inside as well.

She held back because she could never lei Hallet know about her taking such pills or something bad might happen owing to Hallet’s big mouth. “What was that you wanted, miss?” asked the staff, being done waiting for Cynthia to speak

Hallet was the first to utter, “Can you get me a box of digestive tablets? I ate too much last night, and now I’m bloated.”

Thus went the staff to fetch Haller the tablets.

Hallet asked Cynthia curiously. “What you were here for early in the morning

Cynthia frowned and brooded over it before repeating Hallet’s sentiment. “I also ate too much last night, so I wanted something for indigestion. Since you gonna get it, I’ll pass. I’ll wait in the car. Hurry up”

After saying that, Cynthia left without looking back

Hallet eyed Cynthia’s back and scratched his head.

Soon, the staff came back with some digestion tablets and handed them to Hallet before asking out of curiosity, “Why did that lady leave?”

“We’re

together, and she also needs some of these, Hallet explained casually and walked to the exit

In the car. Hallet took out the tablets and handed two to Cynthia. “There you go. For your indigestion, no?”

Cynthia glanced at the tablets and started the car expressionlessly. “Nah, I’m good after walking for a bit just now. You can have them.

Hallet withdrew his hand and sighed helplessly, secretly sneering, Weirdo,

When they reached the company, Hallet followed Cynthia around to learn more about the current situation of the company. Then again, Cynthia’s current focus was all on getting her hands on the birth control pills. The effectiveness of morning–after pills, in particular, would be the highest when taken the soonest, delaying consumption longer would mean a greater chance of failure.

Haller’s so annoying!‘ she grumbled inwardly.

Except when heading to the restroom, Hallet never noticed Cynthia’s expression despite trailin

despite trailing behind her incessantly.

Came his question. “I’ve more or less learned about the company. Can you tell me what’s going on with Queena?”

Cynthia was already vexed. She thought Hallet was having his mind on work, so she put up with him. To think that he was up to something else, not to mention bringing up Queens time and again

Frowning, Cynthia replied unhappily, “No idea. Find out on your own.”

“It’s because I can’t find the chance to find anything out that I wanna see if I could get something out of you,” was Hallet’s expla

explanation.

“Nothing” Cynthia answered, suddenly recalling something and adding, “But our company has a cooperation with her brother’s company. If you can manage the company well, maybe you can create an opening to mingle with them. You might even flaunt your performance before her brother. Who knows?”

That lit Haller’s eyes up. “Really?”

“If you don’t believe me, feel free to check the file of our cooperation, revealed Cynthia,

No longer could tallet remain still. He bolted toward the archives.

Witnessing that opportunity, Cynthia tried to leave immediately after Hallet left.

Alas, Hallet stopped her before she made it to the exit. “Cynthia, I’m not familiar with this place yet. Take me.

Cynthia’s eyes widened. Neither am 1. I just took over the company”

“It’ll be faster if we work together, then.” Haller dragged Cynthia to the archives C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Beholding the exit under her nose, Cynthia secretly freaked out. “Liam’s sent people who knew better about Larson Group. It’ll be even faster if an

talk to them.”

Haller paused, staring at Cynthia solemnly, “You’re the boss. Although you’re not good at running this company and can get a manager, as the boss, you should still know a thing or two about this company.”

“I have something on. Let me do that tomorrow, okay?” suggested Cynthia.

“No, since we’re both here. Haller insisted

Ultimately, those two located the cooperation file with Yearwood Group and started studying it.

In fact, it was not a major cooperation. Yearwood Group was an entertainment company, and Larson Group needed Yearwood Group’s artists to be brand ambassadors for their main products.

An idea sprang to Hallet’s mind when he read the cooperation plan.

Thereafter, he had yet to mention Queena again. He became focused and spent the whole day getting to know Larson Group thoroughly.

Cynthia was also busy serving drinks and whatnot. Each time she wanted to leave, Hallet would bug her about something.

Finally giving up, she came up with an excuse to hide in the restroom and dialed Liam’s number

It was already past 4 p.m. and Cynthia had to check on David later, so she figured she would probably be staying over at the Sullivan residence. If she got there after work, it was even less possible for her to get the birth control pills.

The call connected soon, and Liam’s deep voice came. “Cynthia, what’s up?”

Having just finished a meeting and worked all day, he felt tired.

He massaged the space between his eyebrows, his tone growing gentle

Cynthia blushed before she could speak, deliberating on how to put it. After all, it was a rather sensitive issue. It would make her seem like not love him enough and refuse to bear him kids if she was not careful with her words.

“Honey, can you do me a favor!” she piped up.

“What favor? I’m all cars” Liam arched a brow and took a swig to hydrate, feeling curious about Cynthia’s request.

“Promise me you won’t get mad,” implored Cynthia.

Liam smiled faintly. “I won’t.”

Cynthia took a deep breath and shut her eyes before blurting out, “We didn’t have preventive measures last night. Can you go get me some birth control pills

There was a long, eerie silent from the other end of the line.

Cynthia could not catch what was on Liam’s mind, so she explained, “I wanted to buy them myself, but Hallet’s been following always runs his mouth. He can never know this.”

me all day. He

The air was still silent. Just when Cynthia was about to give up, Liam responded with a low voice, “Okay, I’ll get them for you tonight? “Thanks, bonry!” Cynthia breathed a sigh of relief.

After hanging up, she realized that she was sweating buckets.

Back in the CEO’s office at Sullivan Group, Zivm who happened to step in to deliver documents, suddenly shivered when he opened the door,
