Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 203

Pain exploded behind his eyes, turning his vision dark. He instinctively grabbed his nose and dropped to a crouch.

Emmy didn’t waste a second. She shoved him aside and bolted, not even glancing back.

“Damn it!”

Dean glared after her, jaw tight with anger.

Emmy didn’t slow down until she burst into the stairwell. Leaning against the wall, she sucked in huge breaths, heart pounding.

When she finally caught her breath, she shot a quick text to James: Something urgent came up. I need to stop by the office.

Without missing a beat, she called her assistant. “Bring my laptop to the lobby at Nelson Corporation. Right now.”

She hung up and strode out, all business.

Thirty minutes later, at Nelson Corporation.

The moment Emmy walked in, the receptionist straightened up, suddenly much more polite. “Ms. Lincoln, welcome. Here to see Mr. Nelson again?”

Emmy nodded. “Yeah.”

“Of course, I’ll let the executive office know you’re here.”

The receptionist dialed. After a hushed conversation, she glanced at Emmy and waited a few more seconds before hanging up.

“Ms. Lincoln, please wait in the lounge for a moment. James is busy right now, and executive needs to check with him first.”

Meanwhile, at the hospital, top floor, VIP suite.

James ended his call, frowning a little.

On the bed, a pale man looked over. “Something wrong?”

That was Tyler, his older brother.

“It’s nothing. Just a minor work issue,” James said, his voice casual.

Tyler gave a small smile. “So when are you going to bring that little wife of yours over to meet me?”

“She’s a bit young. Not really used to these things. I don’t want her to accidentally offend you.” James paused. “I have to get going. You just focus on getting better.”

He turned to leave.

“James.” Tyler called out, stopping him. “You really think if you keep her hidden, nobody will notice?”

“They’re just pretending not to see it because you haven’t given her what she deserves.”

“So you’d better hope you can keep her secret forever.”

James didn’t look back or say anything. He just walked out.

Across from Nelson Tower, in a busy coffee shop.
