Chapter 395

Debra didn't move. Oscar, seated nearby, glanced at her before looking away. Hannah leaned close and whispered, “Someone wants to see you. Please cooperate with me.” Debra glanced at Hannah and reluctantly left with her.

“Ugh! Still claims she’s helpless. Looks like she’s enjoying it,” Eve muttered, her voice laced with jealousy. Ashley nodded in agreement. “Yeah, who wouldn’t be happy with a special treat? Who likes this awful cafeteria food?”

Freya, observing Oscar, interjected coolly, “Alright, let’s get back to eating.” The two girls returned to their seats.

Tomas leaned toward Oscar and whispered, “Hey, what was with that glance? Interested in her?” Oscar shot him a cold look. “Shut up and eat.”

A guy opposite them chimed in, “Say no more, Tomas. Don’t you know Oscar’s personality? He’s a cold rock, not cracking anytime soon.” Another guy echoed, “Yeah, and Debra is dealing with a divorce. Oscar has so many admirers. Why would he go for a loose woman?”

“Be respectful. How can you call her that?”

“Alright, protector of women. Let’s eat quietly.”

Freya listened silently, her grip on her fork tightening. “I’m full,” she announced abruptly, standing up with her plate and leaving the table.

In the staff cafeteria, Debra spotted Ben waiting for her. Ben quickly stood, relief evident on his face. “Madam.”

After Hannah left, Ben approached Debra, his expression serious. “Madam, I’ve finally reached you.”

Debra raised an eyebrow. “Something wrong with the company?” She had been unusually free from company affairs all day, enjoying a rare moment of peace.

Ben nodded, his expression grave. “Yes, there’s a problem needing your immediate attention.”

Debra, still eating, replied calmly, “Didn’t I leave the company in your capable hands? Besides, Randy and Marion are backing you up. What could go wrong?”

Ben revealed, “It’s Michael.”

The mention of Michael made Debra’s hand pause mid-air. “What happened to him?” she asked, her voice laced with worry. She remembered Michael saying on the phone yesterday that he’d come today. She’d waited all day, thinking he might have had another engagement, but now it seemed something serious had happened.

Ben’s face was grim. “Michael was severely injured on his way to the Potter Group today.”

Debra immediately set down her fork. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”

Ben quickly explained, “Michael didn’t want me to say anything, but it’s now affecting work. I had someone investigate and found out today’s accident was suspicious. Someone tampered with the brakes.”

Debra stood, her voice firm. “I’m heading there right now. Get a car for me.”

“Got it.” Ben nodded.

Debra left the cafeteria, casting a knowing glance at Hannah as she passed.
