I looked at Prism building and asked, “What kind of people usually come here?”
Nora thought about it and replied, “They’re all ministers. Sometimes, it can be used to receive guests. However, this is far from the city and not many people come here. Usually, it’s just a few ministers from Lavelian Village.”
Armond’s appearance was only for a second, so we quickly shook it off. We came to have fun, and so I continued to take pictures of Nora.
We ended up taking photos and exploring all the places that we could. After that, we returned to the hotel late at night and fell asleep after quickly washing up.
The next day, Nora lay on the bed and told me, “I’m not planning on going out today. I want to sleep all I want to pay back my sleep debt.”
I nodded. She came from a rich family and was uninterested in working a normal job. Her father had invested in multiple companies, and she would be able to live comfortably for the rest of her life, even if she never had to work for a single day.
The moment I left the hotel, I received a call from Ashton. His voice was gentle and sweet as he asked, “Are you awake?”
I smiled and answered, “Yes. I’m going to the base now!”
“Have you had breakfast?” he asked.
“I’m going to grab something to eat on the way!” I replied. The hotel did provide breakfast, but I had woken up too early.
He murmured a response and said, “Remember to eat a proper meal!”
I could not help but laugh at his remark. “You’re being too much of a nag, Ashton.”
He was quiet for a few seconds before answering in a deep voice, “I miss you so much, Scarlett.”
Upon that, I was startled for a while and could not help but smile brightly. “I miss you a lot too, Ashton.”
His deep laughter made the rising sun appear even more beautiful.
At that moment, Joseph was already waiting for me at the entrance. I bid goodbye to Ashton on the phone and went in the car.
Joseph gave me a beautiful box and said, “Have some breakfast, Mrs. Fuller!”
I was astonished and asked, “How did you know I haven’t had breakfast?”
He started up the engine and chuckled. “Mr. Fuller gave me a head’s up. I’m here to take care of your meals, after all.”
Okay!
As time went on, I realized that true happiness came from the thoughtfulness of others. Being remembered was the highest form of honor and joy.
When we arrived at the base, Armond was also getting out of his car. I casually greeted him and was reminded of when I saw him at Prism building the night before.
Hence, I casually asked, “Mr. Murphy, were you at the night flea market yesterday?”
His obsidian eyes flashed at me, cold and baleful.
His gaze frightened me, but I spoke confidently, “Nora bought a lot of delicious food yesterday. She couldn’t find you in your room, and we thought you went to the night flea market. When she called you, the tone indicated that you were engaged in another call.”
Hearing that, he frowned slightly, and his gaze softened. He then smiled and replied, “I was busy last night, that’s why I wasn’t at the hotel.”
I nodded and joked, “What a shame. You missed out on all the good food!”
He smiled back at me. “I’ll definitely have to seize the chance next time.”
With that, he entered the base without another word. At that moment, Linda had also alighted from the car, and her dark eyebags were extremely evident. She feebly greeted me, “Good morning!”
I could not help but ask, “Oh God, look at you! What happened to you?”
She sighed and lamented, “It’s all because of the project, of course. I didn’t sleep the entire night and am exhausted now.”
I knitted my brow. “You mean the one for Lavelian Village?”
She yawned and nodded before suddenly catching herself. Then, she shook her head abruptly and said, “No, it’s the projects that I was handling previously. They’re all in the midst of completion. I have so much on my plate now that I had to work late!”
I nodded my head. Her reaction was somehow strange, and I could not help but suspect that she was hiding something from me.
Later on, we walked into the base, and I said to Joseph, “Did Ashton talk to you?”
Joseph nodded. “He did. Mrs. Fuller, you don’t have to interfere. Let me handle everything.”
I nodded and entered.
The first floor of the base had been completely constructed. Rachel wore a hard hat and was directing the workers at one side.
After Joseph and I entered the base, we did not go to the second floor directly. Instead, we walked around the site of the accident on the first floor. The broken machinery had apparently been fixed.
Since the broken machinery were fixed, Joseph and I went to the second floor.
The second floor was still under construction. Hence, Joseph and I put on hard hats for safety purposes.
When Rachel saw us, she glanced at Joseph before saying, “Mr. Campbell, it looks like you have many responsibilities recently. Mr. Fuller had decided to let me lead this project, so I’d suggest you take a break and mind your own business!”
