The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 114

Patricia gave it some thought and was a bit wary of making a hasty decision. She nodded, “Sounds good. Let’s hash it out and we’ll hit you up once we’ve made up our minds.”

Don couldn’t be happier, “Cool beans.”

He added, “Hit me up anytime if you’ve got some ideas.”

Patricia nodded, “Will do.”

After stepping out of Daniel and Patricia’s office, Don couldn’t resist texting Sophia, [Just showed our architectural proposal to the clients and they’re over the moon.]

Sophia was curled up in a hanging chair, lost in a book.

She had thought about taking a stroll outside. It had been two years since she was last in town, and she harbored a bit of nostalgia for the city. But after burning the midnight oil on the proposal, she was beat and opted to stay in.

The hotel room came with a nest-like double hanging chair, situated right in front of a floor-to-ceiling window. The view outside was a serpentine river and a ribbon of greenway-super cozy to either read or just soak in the view from the chair.

Having just submitted her resort design, the weight was off her shoulders and she instantly felt more chill.

She was surprised to see Don’s message, [You sent it over already?]

[Strike while the iron’s hot,] Don texted back.
