Chapter 828: Chapter 828: Overbearing CEO Falls for the Delicate Wife (28)_1

The assistant subconsciously followed Howard Coleman’s gaze, only to see the closed elevator doors, and couldn’t help but feel a hint of confusion. What was so interesting about the elevator doors?

After waiting a moment and seeing that Howard Coleman still had no reaction, the assistant called out again, “Mr. Coleman?”

Howard Coleman turned his head slightly, not waiting for the assistant to continue discussing the matter they had just talked about; he simply stuffed the files he’d been holding into the assistant’s hands and said, “You handle it.”

Then, without waiting for the assistant to speak, he strode toward the elevator.

Howard Coleman went straight to the underground parking lot, saw that Madeleine’s car was still there because the elevator was on the thirty-seventh floor; he then ran directly from the stairs back to the main lobby on the first floor, and, panting, rushed out of the Pristine’s Corporation building.

Howard Coleman looked around, but he did not see Madeleine.

...

Just then, a security guard at the door greeted Howard Coleman, who nodded slightly, exhaling a breath. He took another look around and asked, “Did you just see Ms. Madeleine leave from here?”

“Yes,” the security guard pointed in a direction to the left: “Ms. Madeleine walked that way.”

Howard Coleman didn’t even wait for the security guard to finish speaking before he started chasing in the direction Madeleine had gone. He quickly walked about a hundred meters or so, then saw Madeleine walking slowly not far ahead; Howard’s pace involuntarily slowed down a bit.

Even though it was a hot summer afternoon, and the weather was so hot it made people irritable, the street was poor in pedestrian traffic — anyone there was hurrying along, with few strolling as leisurely as Madeleine was.

Madeleine had no idea where to go; she just felt suffocated in the office and wanted to come out for some air.

Her body was covered in a layer of sweat, but she did not feel hot at all; she even felt a bit cold.

Her mind was devoid of any thoughts, just a blank slate, yet as she walked, her eyes started reddening unaccountably. She didn’t dare blink, didn’t even dare move her eyelids for fear that her tears would accidentally fall.

Madeleine walked in a daze for a long time, and as she passed through an underground passageway, she heard someone singing a familiar song.

“Sally cries, saying she can no longer endure, erasing herself like a shadow, she doesn’t want to steal others’ things, but her lover forces her to err.”

This was the song she sang on the night of her wedding when she had dragged Ruby Gregory to a KTV.

Hearing the familiar melody, Madeleine couldn’t help but stop in her tracks.

The original singer of this song was a woman, but now, standing in the subway passage, a young man wearing ragged jeans held the microphone, eyes closed, singing with focused emotion.

Madeleine felt his rendition was even deeper than the original.

“I’ve always stood on the side being hurt by you; you’ve always remained at a distance that made me cry; love has always stopped, on the night you once loved me; you used to be so kind to me, you used to be so kind to me…”

At the end of the song, Madeleine was still foolishly standing in front of the singing man, staring blankly at him.

The man only opened his eyes when the music stopped and then saw a beautiful young woman staring at him, which made him feel a bit embarrassed, and he turned his head away.
