"She didn't get a wink of sleep the whole night," Raphael spoke behind him. "After you left, I'd gone to sleep two hours later and returned at midnight to find her still working. To be honest, I was shocked to the teeth."
He crossed his hands behind his back. "I've never seen someone so determined, boss. So resilient. If I hadn't watched her myself, I'd have believed she used some kind of magic. She's-" he searched for the right words. "-Something else." Kage didn't need to doubt that she hadn't slept at all. The heaviness and dark circles under her eyes told him it was the truth. One could easily think she hadn't slept for weeks. Something shifted in his chest - something dark and dangerous.
How could she be this determined to deprive herself of sleep. For who? For the stupid Chengs who didn't care about her?
t more importantly, how could she go this far to prove him wrong?

The blood. The screams.
A shudder ran through his shoulders. He opened his eyes, forcefully shutting the memories out.

But don't worry, I'll let him know you're done and he'll check it out when he can." Raphael said. Sylvie wasn't so pleased. "Maybe, I can wait for him. When he's free, we can both-"
"I wouldn't recommend you waiting, Ms. Sylvie. Mr. Hawkins will check out the dress when he can. You don't have to worry- he's aware you met up
with the deadline and didn't use any cheat method. What is left is for him to check out the dress to be sure you did the right thing," Raphael explained, offering a smile that looked rather forced.

Since the previous day, she had texted three more times, demanding further explanation, but the person wasn't replying to any of her texts. She tried calling too, but the line was switched off. She
