This was the first time Maisie had ever been late for work.

She hurried to the kindergarten's entrance. Normally, she would greet the security guard, but there was no time for that today. However, when she reached the fingerprint scanner to clock in, she was already one minute late for work.

This upset her greatly. Being late by just one minute meant she would miss out on the perfect attendance bonus for the month.

Maisie returned to the office. The other teachers had already gone to their classes, and she didn't have any morning classes today. She sat at her desk and took a deep breath.

She couldn't help but think about last night's events. She scolded herself for carelessly falling asleep in Daniel's car—and for such a long time.

Maisie hurriedly left the car, but she was still in the evening gown she wore last night.

Maisie's heart raced. She couldn't understand why, but that man and his smile had become deeply ingrained in her mind.

Ruth entered the room. "Ms. Squire, you're here."

Maisie got up anxiously, feeling guilty.
