The Doormat Wife’s Ultimate Glow-Up novel Chapter 61

“She says her dad’s here. Could you help her find him?”

Reese handed the little girl over to the receptionist who’d just come over, then took the folder Alan offered. “Is this the development team list?”

“Yeah, just got it from upstairs.” Alan walked with her toward the office. “But there’s a situation... You should see for yourself.”

Reese flipped open the folder. Her eyes paused on Sofia’s file. The woman in the photo smiled softly. Her resume was flawless.

“What’s going on?”

Reese’s mood soured. She didn’t want anything to do with Sebastian or Sofia, not now, not ever.

“Management wants to use our ‘Blade’ system in Ratcliff Global’s new project, ‘The Vault.’ That means our teams have to work together. There’s no way to avoid dealing with Ratcliff’s tech people.”

Alan looked apologetic. “If you really can’t work with her, we can ask Ratcliff to send someone else.”

“It’s fine.” Reese closed the folder and let out a slow breath. She’d forgotten about this.

No wonder Sebastian had shown up this morning—first with that fancy wooden box, then the house deed. He was trying to apologize, but really, he was just making it easier for Sofia to join the team.

She should have known. Sebastian never did anything that didn’t benefit himself.

Even if she refused, Sebastian would find another way. He always did.

Reese pulled open her desk drawer, tucked the wooden box and the property deed inside, and had just turned on her computer when her phone rang.

A number she didn’t recognize lit up the screen. Reese frowned, hesitated, then picked up.

“When you get a chance, go to the hospital for a prenatal check-up. Grandpa’s worried yesterday might have affected the baby.”

Sebastian’s voice was as cold and distant as ever. He didn’t ask about being blocked. He didn’t seem to care.

Reese couldn’t help but feel bitter. “If you’re so concerned about the baby, maybe don’t do things that put it at risk.”

Not that it mattered anymore. She’d already had the abortion. There was no baby left to worry about.
