Chapter 076 Ambrose Vale

Galatea woke up to find herself alone in bed, clothes intact, a wave of relief washing over her. A frantic glance at the clock revealed it was just past seven.Where had that man gone?

She got out of bed and walked out of the resting room, only to come face-to-face with the leading team at Nexus Innovations.

Despite her clothes being in order, it was clear that she had just woken up. Emerging from Alaric's room in this condition was sure to create the wrong impression.

"Good morning, Dr. Hartley."

Galatea wanted nothing more than to vanish into thin air, but at that moment, Silas Moon stepped forward and said, "Mr. Alaric is already in the conference room. We have a morning meeting starting soon, but Mr. Alaric has instructed the kitchen to prepare breakfast for you."

"Oh," Galatea murmured, head hanging low, and quickly retreated back to her resting room, shutting the door behind her.

This was mortifying!

Her recent appearance in front of everyone, and they were all Alaric's subordinates, was disastrous.

Rubbing her hair frantically, Galatea was utterly embarrassed. Without a doubt, soon enough the whole of Nexus Innovations would hear about their night together.

After composing herself for what felt like an eternity and making sure the coast was clear, Galatea went from the resting room to the dining room. There, just as Silas had mentioned, the chef had her breakfast ready. Filled with emotion, she grasped a fork and stabbed at her sandwich with unnecessary force.

Soon enough, the dining room door swung open, and there stood Alaric, sporting a smile that clearly took pleasure in her discomfort. "Heard you made quite the sleepy-eyed impression on my staff this morning?" The urge to hurl the fork his way, aiming for his smug face, was strong, but Galatea restrained herself.
