A Big Surprise  He saw the confusion in my eyes and leaned down to kiss me with the utmost tenderness.


    He eventually let me go, still cradling my face.


    "Give me time," he said. “I''ll tell you how I lost you. Now, let’s go home.”  I pushed down all the doubts in my mind. I didn’t want to tarnish the moment, knowing he wouldn''t lie to me.


    He escorted me back to Amethyst Apartments. At the doorstep, he bid me farewell. “Rest well and remember tomorrow’s private banquet.” “Aren’t youing in? Ava hasn’t


    seen you today!”  “I have something to take care of, and  it’s toote. Ava must be asleep. T  won’t go in,” he said, pulling me into his arms again. He nted akissonmy forehead. “Be a good girl and get some rest. Tomorrow will be a brand new  day.”  Although I was reluctant, I had to give him the time he needed to handle his affairs. It might have been an excuse,  but I had no reason to stop him.


    I looked back at him as I walked in, feeling something was off. He stood by his car, watching as I entered the  house. Then, I heard his car zooming  off.


    I yanked the door open and dashed out, watching the taillights of his car disappear from my view. A strange


    sense of loss welled up in me.


    Had he built a wall between us because of today’s events? What man could tolerate Harmony''s insults, especially aman like him who was untouchable? That night, I tossed and turned, unable to sleep because of his hurried departure.


    The next day, my phone was blowing up before I even reached the office.


    It was all about ourpany, and some were congratting me. I was stunned, unsure what had happened. I floored it and made a beeline for the office.


    When I arrived, I was shocked by the scene before me. I thought I had walked onto the wrong floor.


    The entire elevator lobby was adorned with flower baskets. My employees stood in line on both sides, waiting for my arrival. As soon as I stepped out of the elevator, a thunderous cheer erupted.


    Across from the elevator, behind the front desk, was a prominent banner.


    “Congrattions to Tanum Construction and Development for Embarking on a New Chapter.”  I was rooted to the spot, trying to understand. Had I traveled through time? When had Tanum Corporation been renamed Tanum Construction and Development?  Just then, Ryan approached me with radiant eyes. “Ms. Chloe, congrattions on bing the boss


    of Tanum Construction and Development!”  “Ryan, what''s going on?” The situation in front of me had me staring at him in disbelief.


    “This is the surprise we all wanted to give you!” Ryan looked at me kindly.


    Carol pulled me into therge office and turned on the big screen.


    On the screen was a news report announcing that ourpany would be renamed Tanum Construction and Development. We would transform into a new construction firm and establish an industry brand.


    “You guys went too far! I-1 didn’t even know about this! Did you consult me?” I was miffed, practically screaming.


    All the employees echoed my exmation with cheers. I hadn’t expected mypany to reach a new milestone like this, and all without my knowledge.


    I remembered a sentence someone said to mest night.


    “Tomorrow will be a brand new day!” Why did he say that? Was it just a coincidence?  Suddenly, the elevator chimed.
