The Divorced Heiress Is Entering a New Marriage

Chapter 0184

But here in the shadows, Logan could kiss and hold his long–lost wife.

His phone rang and with a sigh, they broke apart.

“Let it go to voicemail,” Hazel suggested, a bit of hope, a bit of disappointment in her eyes.

“It could be important,” Logan said, then watched as disappointment fully wiped the hope from her expression. He’d make it up to her.

Retrieving his phone from his pocket, Logan read the screen: Work.

““Logan..” Hazel said, a tiny plea in her voice.

“It might be an emergency.” Logan said. He couldn’t just ignore a call from work. That would raise more questions than he was willing to answer right now.

Hazel lowered her head.

“Don’t say anything, alright?” Logan told her before answering. “We don’t need people to know where I

am.”

Hazel half turned from him. “Of course. Why would you want anyone to know you are with your wife?” She was clearly displeased, but Logan could handle that after the call. So long as she understood she needed to be quiet right now, everything would proceed smoothly.

Logan answered the call. “This is Logan.”

“Mr. Hatfield, we have a situation here.” The voice belanged to one of the managers working under Logan, a woman named Cameron. A woman who was known to be good friends with Dawn from HR.

“What’s the situation, Cameron?” Logan repeated her name, hoping to alert Hazel that she needed to be extra quiet for both their sakes.

Hazel crossed her arms but didn’t otherwise react.

“I just received work from the Fillman’s Freight contact Cameron said. “They are thinking of pulling their accounts away from our company.”

“What? Why?”

Fillman’s Freight wasn’t their company’s highest income source, but it was in the top five. Losing them would be a massive hit to revenue.

“They’ve heard about our recent… scandals,” Cameron said.

“How could they have heard about that?” That had always been an internal issue. Any disgruntled employees, from before Logan got there, were delivered large settlements on the requirement that they stay quiet. Surely one of them didn’t break their non–disclosure paperwork?

Hazel looked at Logan with sudden worry.

“We could have a leak, Sir,” Cameron said.

Logan sighed,

“What is it?” Hazel whispered.

Logan immediately shook his head at her, but it was too late.

“Is someone there with you?” Cameron asked. “I apologize, I didn’t mean to interrupt your evening…”

“It’s fine,” Logan said quickly. Too quickly, maybe.

“Forgive me, Sir, but that voice almost sounded like your secretary…

“Miss Whitaker and I are working late,” Logan said.

Hazel’s eyes went a little wide as she slapped a hand over her mouth. Maybe she had meant to be quieter

than she had been. Maybe she hadn’t intended to sabotage Logan on purpose.

Yet all the same, she was heard and now there would be hell to pay for it. Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Whatever hope he’d had of getting out of this call and staying–with Hazel went up in smoke. Now, regardless of the necessity for it, he needed to head into the office.

“We’re finishing up here,” Logan said. “I’ll be in as soon as I can.”

“Make it soon, Mr. Hatfield, please, I have a phone conference with our contact at 8.”

Logan checked his watch. That gave him only thirty minutes to get to the office and familiarize himself with the client before the call.

“I’m on my way now.”

“Very good, Sir.”

Logan ended the call.

“You’re going into the office?” Hazel asked, a touch of hurt in her voice.

“Cameron heard us together. If I opt not to go and stay here, she will be extremely suspect.” Logan returned his phone to his pocket. “Not to mention, Fillman’s Freight is thinking of dropping their account.“. 1

Hazel’s brow pulled together. “But I just talked to them this afternoon…”

Logan immediately straightened. “Did you mention HR’s new rules?”
