From Neglected Wife to CEO’s Obsession novel Chapter 71

I grabbed my phone and sent off a quick message: Thanks for saving my life, boss.

Elliot replied in about two minutes: So, Ms. Greenwood, how are you planning to thank me?

For someone like him, knocking this project out of the park would mean way more than any fancy gift.
