Chapter 226

“Shh…” I quickly interrupted Soren, feeling extremely nervous. “I’ll handle this. Trust me, please.”

Soren nodded. I could tell he was a little excited by the look on his handsome face.

“Alright, I trust you. And T… I’ll be waiting for you,” he said.

“Okay.”

“You should head up soon. It’s cold out here,” he urged. “Call me if you need any help.‘

“Okay.” I nodded and started to take my leave.

Before I did, I reminded him, “Hurry home and get some rest, okay? Remember, your health is your best asset, so you mustn’t overwork yourself.”

“Whatever you say,

I turned around a few times as I walked, glancing back after every few steps. Soren was still standing by his car until I entered my building and stepped into the elevator.

Once I reached my apartment, I looked over from the balcony and saw that his car was still there. But I couldn’t see him anymore because my view was blocked.

I leaned against the balcony and sighed softly, my mind flooding with flashes of what had happened in the car.

After a while, I got up and looked again.

This time, I saw Soren’s Rolls Royce driving off, quickly disappearing from my view, swallowed by the darkness of the night.

I gathered my thoughts and entered my room, burying myself in my work to calm my nerves.

By 11:00 p.m., I’d finished a few design drafts, taken a shower, and gotten into bed.

I somehow managed to fall asleep, but then I suddenly felt like my phone was ringing.

Still groggy, I picked it up and saw an unknown number calling.

I assumed it was probably a scam, so I hung up.

As soon as I placed my phone back down, the same number called again.

Reluctantly, I answered. “Hello?”

“Hello, your friend’s gotten drunk and is lying at our bar. Could you come pick him up, please?”

I couldn’t recognize the voice, but I was stunned by what I heard. “Who’s this friend of mine?”

“I don’t know, miss, I’m just the bartender. He’s really drunk and gave me your number when I asked how he was

The bartender then tried waking the drunk man, loudly enough that I could hear him.
