Chapter 1360: Last mercy

[SKYLINE PLAZA: Finn's]

Finn sat alone in the study room of his home in utter silence, his eyes blank, deep

in thought.

Bzt... Bzt...

The vibration of his phone against the desk snapped him from his trance.

Glancing down, he slowly picked it up. A small smile appeared on his face when he saw Nina's name on the screen.

"Hey." His voice was gentle, affectionate. "How are you?"

Nina chuckled. "You're asking like we didn't just see each other not long ago."

"Well, it feels like I've been waiting the whole day."

"I just got to the office," she pouted, giggling as she slowed her steps in the building. "I'll call you on my lunch break. No client meetings today—I'm finalizing the design and submitting it to my boss."

"Mhm."

"Are you going to be alright?"

"Of course." He nodded. "Why wouldn't I be?"

"Well." Nina stopped at the side of the office lobby, tucking her hair behind her ear. "You seemed a little distracted last night after dinner with your family. I know you said it's not a big deal and that they're just upset about the family meeting, but... I'm still a bit worried."

Finn smiled subtly. Just why couldn't he stay with her 24/7?

"I'm fine, Nina," he reassured her. "But I'll be even better once you come home."

"I'll finish early and come straight back," she hummed. "Then we'll have plenty of time together."

"Mhm."
