Chapter 570:

The kiss deepened, long and tender, making her feel as though she were melting into him, his hands slowly tracing upward from her waist.

“Miss Johns…” Suddenly, a voice interrupted them. Someone had entered, caught a glimpse of their intimate moment, and swiftly backed out of the office.

Madisyn shook herself free from her momentary daze, shoving Andrew aside with a slight but noticeable edge of irritation.

How had she allowed herself to be caught in such an embarrassing state by one of her subordinates?

Andrew tried to calm her down, his voice soft. “Hey, babe, don’t worry about it. We’re together, remember? There’s nothing unusual about this.”

Madisyn gave him a sharp look. “Let’s stay focused. Back to the project.”

Without another word, Andrew dropped the topic and, with a slightly awkward pause, shifted back to the task at hand, resuming their discussion of the project.

Just as they were finishing up and getting ready to head out for dinner, Elaine’s call came through, interrupting their flow.

“Madisyn!” Elaine’s voice was filled with enthusiasm.

“Why don’t you come home for dinner tonight?”

“Sure, Mom,” Madisyn replied, catching a glimpse of Andrew’s slightly disappointed face. She hesitated before adding, “Would it be okay if Andrew came too?”

“Of course. Bring him along! We’ve got a special guest joining us tonight,” Elaine replied, her voice brimming with excitement.

Madisyn’s curiosity piqued. “This special guest you’re talking about?”

Elaine responded, “Oh, it’s Howard’s girlfriend.”

Madisyn froze.

Howard’s girlfriend? Since when did he have a girlfriend? Could it be Nalani? Was he really serious about her? What about Milly then?

“Madisyn, is something the matter?” Elaine’s voice took on a worried tone when she noticed her daughter’s long silence.

Madisyn shook off her thoughts and responded quickly, “Mom, everything’s fine. I’ll be home tonight. Don’t worry.”

After she ended the call, she turned to Andrew, her face showing a mix of emotions.

Andrew didn’t miss the shift in her mood and asked right away, “What’s wrong? Is something going on back at home?”

“Yeah,” Madisyn answered. “Howard’s bringing his girlfriend home tonight.”

Andrew’s face grew just as serious, matching her mood.

Madisyn let out a deep sigh. “It just doesn’t seem fair to Milly, you know?”

Milly had quietly done so much for their family, and Madisyn was convinced that Milly really cared for Howard. If Howard ever found out all that Milly had done, he’d surely feel regret and be touched. But he was still in the dark.

A wave of sadness washed over Madisyn. She couldn’t bear the idea of standing by and watching Howard end up with someone he didn’t truly care about.

“I think I’ve got an idea,” Andrew said, breaking the silence.
