Luka got here in earlier than he answered, glowering at me. “What the fuck? I’m not a canine you’ll be able to simply summon. What–”

“Julie’s lacking.”

He got here to an abrupt halt, wanting between us. “What do you imply?”

Letting out a pissed off sound, I threw out my arms. “I imply, she’s not fucking right here, and nobody has even observed. She wouldn’t choose up my calls all weekend, her assistant stated she didn’t present up at the moment, and he or she’s not fucking right here!”

“Bennett, settle down,” Grayson demanded. “I’m positive she’s fantastic. She’s taken time without work earlier than. You don’t must panic the primary time she doesn’t present up.”

“With out calling in?” I raised my eyebrows considerably.

He frowned, pursing his lips. Luka got here nearer, his eyebrows drawn collectively. “Did she name in, Grayson?”

Pushing a button on his cellphone, he buzzed the assistant. She answered straight away, a tremor in her voice. “Y-Sure, Mr Andrews?”

“Did Julie name in sick at the moment?”

“N-No, sir. I haven’t heard something from Miss Summers at the moment. Did you need me to name her?”

“No, I’ll deal with it. Thanks.”

Whereas he hung up, I pulled out my cellphone, placing it on speaker whereas I dialed Julie. It went straight to voicemail, similar to it had all weekend. Luka tried subsequent, then Grayson, however nothing occurred.

“It’s been like that every one weekend,” I floor out. “Did neither of you discover?”

They each regarded responsible, and so they refused to take a look at me. Neither of them had tried to name her. Growling, I stepped nearer, my gaze zeroing in on Grayson.

“What the hell occurred? She regarded actually upset on the gala and he or she left early. What did you say to her?”

Luka jerked to face me, confused. “Wait. What?”

I shook my head. “She regarded upset earlier than she talked to us. You didn’t discover. Grayson, what occurred?”

Grayson rubbed the again of his neck, frowning down at his cellphone. “I don’t…”

His cellphone buzzed once more, and he sighed closely, urgent the button to reply. “Sure, Miss Younger?”

Her voice was quieter than regular, barely talking above a whisper. “I, uh… I’ve a letter right here from Miss Summers.”

My frown deepened to the purpose the place Grayson wasn’t the one one who was getting a headache. “What sort of letter?”

“It’s… It’s a letter of resignation. I… I obtained a name from the entrance desk. Apparently, she dropped it off not that way back.”

My abdomen dropped, and I lunged for the door, ripping it open. The assistant jumped after I stepped out, however she flashed me an apologetic smile when she handed it to me.

“I figured since Mr Andrews was asking about her, I ought to inform him straight away.”

I took the envelope from her, observing it whereas I stepped again into the workplace. The entrance had her handwriting on it. I commented on it earlier than. She wrote nearly like a calligrapher typically, the writing all crazy and fairly.

“Open it,” Luka demanded. He was standing subsequent to me, staring on the letter in my hand.

Ripping it open, I pulled out the contents. There was a proper letter of resignation on high, however beneath there was a notice and after I learn it, I needed to sit down.

“What’s it say?”

I swallowed onerous. “It says she feels prefer it’s finest for the corporate that she leaves. That she has been a burden and a humiliation, and that she’s not what the corporate wants. She stated she’s grateful for the chance and he or she–” My voice minimize out across the lump in my throat and I needed to clear it to begin once more. “She’s glad she discovered a substitute earlier than she left, and he or she hopes we forgive her for leaving with out warning, however she feels it’s for the most effective to keep away from additional missteps on her half.” I shook my head, rubbing on the ache in my chest. “What does she imply by that? What embarrassment? What misstep?”

They each had been quiet whereas I learn, however after I regarded up, Grayson regarded horrified. His eyes darted forwards and backwards earlier than he shoved to his toes.
