Chapter 85 A Terrible Dream

Galatea was furious last night when she said that even if he wanted to throw the gift box away, he shouldn't do it in front of her. Upon his return to the company, he promptly discarded it.

For some inexplicable reason, seeing the gift box in the trash can filled Galatea with a sense of dread.

From her own perspective, Galatea knew she couldn't accept such a valuable gift. However, when considering Alaric's point of view, his annoyance at his thoughtful present being rejected was understandable.

At that moment, Galatea couldn't help but regret her actions-if she had happily accepted the gift the night before, maybe things would have turned out joyfully for both of them. She chastised herself for being so overly sentimental. Just as she was mulling over her dilemma, another knock on the door distracted her. Without thinking, Galatea hastily retrieved the gift box from the trash bin and stuffed it into her pocket.

As she came back to her senses, intending to tell whoever was at the door to wait, Alaric spoke without delay. "Come in."

The company's vice president entered, and upon seeing Galatea, he greeted them with respect, "Mr. Alaric, Mrs. Knight."

Mrs. Knight? Did the company staff address her as Mrs. Knight?

Before Galatea could respond, the vice president's eyes landed on the stomach-soothing chicken soup she had placed on the coffee table, and he asked with noticeable nervousness, "Am I interrupting something?"

"No, not at all," Galatea muttered, feeling another wave of social embarrassment wash over her. She shouldn't have listened to Mia's advice to bring Alaric the chicken soup during work hours. What was she thinking?

"I'm fine. You all carry on with your work. I should go." She hoped that Alaric would say something to ease the awkwardness, but he simply kept his eyes on his documents, leaving her to deal with the discomfort on her own. "You guys are busy. I'll leave first."

With that, Galatea quickly exited Alaric's office, but the embarrassment didn't fade away.
