Ch-31 Gaze

Eliana's POV:

By the time I finally reached the office, the meeting I was rushing for was actually pushed back a few days, and I doubt anyone could be more relieved than I was.

I was in a regular briefing meeting, where my assistant was outlining the plans for this quarter for the ongoing projects, while Bailey was trying to catch my gaze from across the table.

This is when my phone vibrated, and I glanced at the screen; only to find Sienna’s name? With a frown, I excused myself from the meeting and checked the message:

"I'm sending you an address, come urgently."

My heart began to race. Why would my cousin send such a cryptic text? I called her immediately, but there was no response.

“What’s wrong, Sienna?”

Ultimately, I had to send a text, and her reply was prompt and brief.

"It's about your husband. Come as soon as you can."

That was it; I couldn't take the suspense anymore. I felt a knot form in my stomach as I informed my secretary I’d be stepping out for a while.
