Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 5623

Noelle stepped away and returned to her seat, gathering up the ledgers.

She had nearly reviewed them all. If Laurence was free over the weekend, they could visit the secondary residence and settle the accounts with Stuart.

Laurence, on the other hand, did not return to his own chair. Instead, he leaned against the front of his desk, holding his glass in his right hand.

"Come in," he said in a low voice as he took a slow sip of water.

The office door opened, and his secretary walked in. He stopped about ten feet away from Laurence and said respectfully, "Mr. Longbottom, Ms. Roxy Longbottom is here."

Had Roxy come to demand justice for her best friend?

Laurence hummed and said, "Let her in. Tell her I only have 10 minutes before my break is over. That's all the time she has."

The secretary acknowledged Laurence’s instructions and left.

A moment later, Roxy entered. She came alone, carrying two shopping bags.

"Master."

She was no longer part of Longbottom Corporation, so she addressed him by his position as the head of the Longbottom family.

Laurence nodded. Still leaning against the desk, he held his half-finished glass of water and took a sip.

"What do you want?" Laurence glanced at her, his tone cold.

Roxy forced a smile. "Master, I've come specifically to apologize to Noelle. I had no idea Jolie would come to the company and say such outrageous things. I've given her a lecture."

"Why are you apologizing for something Jolie did?"
