Still You Still Me Still Falling novel Chapter 40

Sheila kept herself completely swamped with work for the next few days.

She went out of her way to force everything that happened at the hospital out of her mind.

She secretly kept in touch with Laura Ladd, occasionally chatting with Tilly over the phone.

Only after hearing that Tilly had been discharged did she finally let out a sigh of relief.

Late one afternoon, York Preston called her in to outline the next phase of the project.

Sheila was being sent abroad.

The project involved a collaboration with a foreign tech company, requiring on-site work to get everything off the ground.

Sheila was assigned to go alongside two other colleagues.

Simon Sinclair, tied up with his own tasks, was staying behind.

Sheila happily accepted the arrangement.

Over the past few months, way too much had happened in her life.

She never expected to cross paths with Edmond Halley again, let alone get entangled with his daughter.

Going abroad for work felt like the perfect escape route.

She had spent time there before, so she wasn't anxious about the trip.

What she didn't expect, however, was to see Marcus Wagner on the plane.

She hadn't spotted him in the terminal, but the moment she settled into her seat, he appeared right beside her.

Sheila's expression darkened. Acting as if he didn't exist, she yanked her eye mask down and leaned back.

It was normal for investors to send representatives on overseas trips, but Marcus was the CEO himself.

A wave of deep irritation washed over her.

Marcus took full note of Sheila's cold reception.

No rush, he told himself.

Once they were abroad, there wouldn't be anyone else around to get in his way.

He had purposely arranged for Simon to be swamped with other work back home.

Long-distance relationships were the easiest to break.
