Highly Unusual


    After a long while, As stopped kissing me and whispered, “Don’t I want to hear your bullshit excusest


    again, got it?”

    deeper into the courtyard.


    arrived at an elevator, and he pulled me inside. As we reached the top, I realized it was an


    observation deck with a magnificent view. A bottle of red wine was already there for us. He poured me

    I


    Still in a daze, I looked at him and downed the wine. I felt much calmer after taking a deep breath. He


    pulled me to the railing, and we looked at the bright moon. Then, he embraced me from behind, saying,


    Get rid of all your negative thoughts.”


    After a pause, he continued, “When I saved your

    the riverside, I told myself I’d look after you forever. I


    I leaned into him and stared at the moon that seemed so close I could touch it. I stayed at the resort


    that


    night, and we drank wine until I fell asleep in his arms.


    It was nearly noon when I woke up. rmed, I sat up and searched everywhere for my phone.


    However, As held me, saying, “Let’s pretend we’re on vacation today.”


    Still, I panicked, thinking people must be trying to reach me right now. After getting out of bed, we went


    to a small restaurant to have lunch before he gave me a ride back to the city area. On the way, As


    asked if


    I hadpleted my task.


    I smirked and told him not to disturb me that evening since there was apany gathering. As I


    entered my office, Carol hurried in after me. “Why didn’t you turn on your phone? Everyone’s been


    looking for you!”


    “My phone died,” I said, “Also, I was wastedst night and woke upte.”


    “Matthew called and wanted to meet you,” Carol reported.


    Tell him to fuck off,” I said.


    Afterward, Carol told me about the calls I had missed this morning, “Fred wants you to return his call,


    and


    the representative from Surface Solutions still wants to talk to you.”


    I nodded, and she left. However, I called my mom first since I didn’t want her to worry. Of course, I lied


    about what had happened. I then told her not to worry if she couldn’t reach me next time because I

    be with my assistant.


    After hanging up the phone, I called myself a shameless woman for implying it might happen again.


    Soon,


    I returned Fred’s call and learned that Urban Builders was ready for us to start work.


    They also s


    sent me the blueprints with colorful renderings. After going through them, I asked thatpany to


    make several sample windows. I then had a brief meeting with Ryan to finalize the blueprints.


    After that, I handed the design ns to Carol and told her to deliver them to ATL Empire for approval.


    Before I could take a break, Carol knocked on my door and came in. “Damian ckwood, Echelon


    Group’s marketing manager, wants to see you.”


    “Echelon Group?” I was puzzled. “The real estate developer?”


    Carol nodded and handed me a business card. “This is his.”


    I looked at it in disbelief. Tanum Corporation was a mess, and I wondered why he would ask to see me


    now if they didn’t bother with apany like mine before. I thought it was highly unusual.
