No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 53



Conrad lounged in his chair, sharply dressed in a black suit, a white shirt, and a tie with stars. I had given him that tie for his birthday last year. He never wore it, and he probably wasn't fond of it. Yet, he was donning the tie again after we parted ways.

Conrad's expression was grim, his gaze fixed on me, harboring a fierce intensity.

I knew what was irking him, but I calmly initiated, "What can I do for you, Mr. Wagner?"

"Where have you been these days?" His tone was icy.

"Taking my holiday!" I responded, deliberately missing his point.

Conrad's fingers twitched on the desk. "I mean, where did you go?"

"Galaxy Harbor!" I had nothing to hide, so I told him straight.

His brows furrowed more tightly, a hint of confusion flickering in his eyes, clearly clueless about Galaxy Harbor.

It was a small, obscure town. Why would Conrad know of it?
