Karma Doesn’t Sleep: The Revenge Queen Rises novel Chapter 278

Amelia woke up early and sent Timmy and Penny each a text: Good morning, my loves. Don’t forget to eat breakfast.

She had both their numbers saved now. She couldn’t always be there, but she wanted them to know she was thinking of them.

As she finished getting ready and stepped outside, Timmy replied.

His message was short: Okay.

A few seconds later, another popped up: You too.

Then he sent a photo of his breakfast. Penny was in the corner of the picture, totally absorbed in her phone and clearly ignoring Amelia’s message.

Amelia felt a little let down, but most of all she was happy that Timmy was slowly starting to open up to her again.

Her good mood didn’t last long.

She’d barely made it out of her apartment building when her phone started ringing nonstop.

She glanced at the screen, saw who it was, and her face went cold as she declined the call.

She knew exactly why Clive was calling. He’d definitely seen her resignation letter by now, probably thanks to his secretary.

So what if she quit? This was just the beginning. Andrew hadn’t even gotten involved yet.

When Clive called again, Amelia was done. She blocked his number without a second thought.

If they needed to discuss anything about the divorce, Andrew—her lawyer—would handle it.

Amelia walked over to the breakfast stand next door. Hi, I’ll have a basket of steamed dumplings, a pork bun, red bean porridge, and two boiled eggs. I’ll eat here.

Today was her first day as project manager at West Medicine. She needed a solid breakfast to power through the day.

Amelia?

She turned around, surprised to see Will standing just a few steps behind her.

Will? What are you doing here?

Will grinned and pointed at the building she’d just come out of. I live right there.

Amelia’s eyes widened. Seriously? Me too! I’m in buil—

Shh. Will made a quiet sign with his finger. Don’t say your apartment number out loud, not even to an old friend. You’re on your own here.

You’re right, Amelia said, getting it. I just got excited to see you.

Will was dressed super casual today—a crisp white shirt over a white tee, jeans, sneakers. He looked fresh and relaxed, handsome but not intimidating.

He had a bruise at the corner of his mouth, and there was a bandage on one cheek.

Seeing that, Amelia felt guilty all over again.
