Upon hearing Michael’s words, joy suffused me. Never had I expected him to agree readily without making things difficult for me. Whoa! When did this drastic change of character happen?

“I got it!”

 

After saying that, I swung open the door and promptly left.

When I arrived at Natalie’s house, she was still crying inconsolably as before. Thus, I comforted her tirelessly, knowing that such pain took time to heal.

Having not seen her for two days, she appeared much more haggard with dark circles under her eyes. It didn’t take a genius to know that she had been losing sleep over the infidelity of that scumbag, John.

 

I coaxed her for a long time before she finally drifted off in my arms. Laying her down on the bed, I lay down beside her and dozed off as well.

Having been truly exhausted in the past two days, I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow. Fortunately, I had already set my alarm for the next day, or I would definitely have overslept.

The moment my alarm rang in the morning, I quickly snagged my cell phone and turned it off, afraid that it would wake Natalie. She had finally managed to get some sleep, so I wanted to let her sleep for a while longer.

 

After washing up, I prepared a simple lunch for her in the kitchen before leaving a note to remind her to eat it. Then, I left.

When I arrived at the office, I bumped into Michael in the elevator. As we weren’t the only ones in the elevator, he merely cast me a placid glance without speaking to me.
