Chapter 1010:

Kristopher’s fingers lingered above the keyboard, uncertain of what to type. Each attempt to formulate a reply was aborted before it began. Finally, he decided against responding directly, opting instead to send Camille’s contact information to his assistant and closed the chat.

Carrie lingered in anticipation of a reply, but none came. To distract herself, she launched a streaming service to watch her company’s latest drama series.

Days later, Carrie and her family visited a restaurant renowned for its health-centric offerings, where the menu was crafted by nutritionists. The restaurant’s design championed simplicity, aiming to encourage closeness among diners with its open layout, devoid of private rooms. However, being a high-end establishment, it wasn’t just a simple dining area like a roadside diner. Instead, the space was divided with screens, creating distinct sections for privacy.

She even suspected that the restaurant had used this so-called effort to bring people together as a cover for their inability to create private rooms, leading to such a simplistic layout.
