The Queen They Buried

Chapter 608

“Mr. Turner’s condition is looking pretty good. Maybe it’s because of his mindset, but right now, the cancer cells are under control, the doctor said.

Bowen was at his family’s estate, listening to the doctor give an update on Enrique’s health, when he received the message from Kelvin.

He couldn’t help but think about the rumors online claiming he had an affair with an intern. Most people would be worried in a situation like this, but Bowen felt at ease, knowing that Aubree wasn’t the type to fall for mere gossip.

“Let her handle it her way. Just make sure nobody g

y foolish enough to challenge her ca

any trouble,” Bowen said.

Kelvin’s expression was a mix of confusion and surprise at Bowen’s calmness. He thought, ‘Who would dare to bully Miss Miller?

‘If the CEO himself is not planning to intervene, why should I, as an assistant, get involved?‘

As such, he remained in his office, not moving an inch.

Meanwhile, Aubree followed the friendly receptionist’s instructions and headed straight to the 35th floor.

The CEO’s office was hard to miss–it was right by the elevator with transparent glass walls. Standing outside, Aubree could see everything that was going on inside.

She caught the attention of someone just about to leave.

News of her coming to Turner Group had spread quickly, and even though it looked like everyone inside was busy, their eyes were focused on her.

After all, what could be more interesting than the real girlfriend showing up to confront someone else?

“Miss Miller, did you need something?” the person she stopped asked, looking unusually excited. noveldrama

Aubree smiled and asked, “Is there someone named Jacinta in the CEO’s office?”

“Yes, Jacinta was just in there a moment ago, helping Mr. Turner with some papers. She should still be in his office,” the employee replied.

Aubree thought, ‘Helping Bowen with paperwork?

‘He does not leave important documents in his office. Besides, that’s usually Kelvin’s role, isn’t it?‘

“Does she visit Mr. Turner’s office often?” Aubree inquired.

The employee hesitated for a second, then replied, “I’m not sure if I’d say ‘often,‘ but she goes there quite a bit.

“She always says she’s helping him with something or just dropping off files.”

Upon hearing that, Aubree smiled and said, “Thanks!”

Just as she was about to walk away, the employee mentioned, “Oh, by the way, Mr. Turner isn’t in the office today.”

Aubree had no clue–she wasn’t the kind of girlfriend who checked in with Bowen constantly.

After thanking him again, Aubree made her way straight toward Bowen’s office.

His office was on the top floor, occupying the prime spot in the entire building.

The lock on Bowen’s office door had Aubree’s fingerprint registered, so she simply swiped her finger and walked right in. Inside, a Casually dressed woman spun around, clearly startled.

When she saw Aubree, she let out a sigh of relief and patted her chest, “Oh, it’s you, Miss Miller. For a second there, I thought someone was breaking into Mr. Turner’s office.”

Aubree studied the woman. She didn’t recognize her, but there was something oddly familiar about her. She asked, “Are you Jacinta?

“Yes, I am,” Jacinta replied with a bright smile.

That strange sense of familiarity grew even stronger. ‘Have I never seen her before?‘ Aubree wondered.

“Miss Miller, are you here to see Mr. Turner? Unfortunately, he’s not in today. Do you want to wait for him?

“If you are, he probably won’t be coming in at all. Mr. Enrique is sick, so Mr. Turner hasn’t been around much lately–today included.

“But if you’d like to wait, feel free to have a seat. I’ll get you some water. What would you like to drink?” Jacinta asked.

Aubree found herself chuckling silently, ‘She sure acts like she owns this place.
