Chapter 1456:
After discussing a few more details, they ended the call.
Annabel raised her eyebrows, then pulled out her phone and called Marcel. He was still at the hospital taking care of Elena. Feeling responsible for her condition, he had stayed by her side.
After a long time, the call finally connected.
“What’s up?” Marcel asked, getting straight to the point. He had no time for small talk.
“I just wanted to ask if you’d be interested in taking on a new job,” Annabel said, equally direct, knowing how busy he was.
“A new job?” Marcel frowned. “Why p>
